While there is some merit in having a secure LAN, I see where you’re coming from. I assume anything leaving the LAN is insecure, and why I prefer secure protocols. However, this is…

Our Charter Spectrum “cable” connection goes over a microwave link like this. How do I know? Well, we had a pretty big wildfire a couple years ago that burned a microwave tower a c…

I knew families like this growing up. To me it’s less about how long they have been here vs if they are first or second+ generation immigrants. It has always seemed like the second…

Personally, I’d like to see a slower addition of features in something as critical as OpenSSL. LibreSSL (part of the OpenBSD project) has been aggressively pruning and hardening th…

> I reached out to their engineering management on LinkedIn, and got put in touch with the local NOC director. I hate that this is a thing. I'm dealing with a similar potential iss…

I wonder if when these things leak and become ever-more damaging, biometrics will basically become worthless and we will pivot to hardware tokens or something else. There seems to …

I’m trying to dig up the M17 messages on the chipsets, but until then - WiFi is incredibly popular and operates on ISM bands. Same with LoraWan, and I have seen some proprietary 90…

I’m just coming back to this thread to answer some of the other comments over the next few days, but WiFi does count here. It operates on ISM bands, AFAIK there are OSS chips, and …

The problem with encryption is that it discourages interaction between hams (which is already pretty bad, tbh). Yes, you’re supposed to announce your callsign, but my bet is that u…

There are ways to transmit encryption legally if you really want to. It just take a bunch of time and a little money to get the right licenses. Encryption really isn’t in the spiri…

I think the OC was speaking more figuratively. Another more recent example might be the US throwing its weight around in the South China Sea - thus trying to protect it interests (…

How is it any worse than IPv4?

This isn't entirely about static port-forwarding. As others have pointed out, STUN, VoIP, PASV, etc rely on deterministic NAT behavior to work. That is not always guaranteed, and o…

> Just tossing IPv6 as a replacement for ipv4 with out factoring that in while simply screaming into the void "NAT IS NOT A FIREWALL" will be of little comfort to the elderly retir…

Not even your ISP - it could be university, business, shared internet for apartments, etc.

Yes this is absolutely possible, but I do like that IPv6 doesn't mandate NAT.

You might not but NAT has many different flavors, and many people don't get to choose which is used on their network. https://serverfault.com/questions/208522/what-is-strict-mode..…

> ok, but why? Because NAT breaks a lot of services. > Is that going to change with ipv6? Yes. You no longer need NAT, so port negotiation is much easier (even when inbound is bloc…

I don't think Apple is the pinnacle of repairability by any means, but they have been making slow improvements in this area (like replaceable back glass in the new model phones, th…
