It’s also a shame that Argentina, while it voted in favor, actually wanted to vote against.

Not surprising because:

Vista, that’s what ruined it for me. I had XP Pro, and I loved that it had all the features (IIS, FTP Server, etc.). But when Vista came out, it had so many different versions, each one a gatekeeper for different features. That was just too much. XP was the last one I used for my personal use. I jumped into Linux, head first, and I’ve never looked back.

Windows XP. The moment I realized the mess Windows Vista was going to be, I knew I had to switch over.

Best multi-player game of that time

We will continue as usual. I use Arch BTW. 🤣

It’s a feature!

I DNS blocked my LG TV services because I got tired of being served with paid content which I do not want to see but they give no choice to opt-out of. For example the recommended movies and TV shows from Amazon Prime. I don’t have Amazon and I don’t intend to get it. There should be an option to remove that but you can’t. Same with the sports section.

So now the TV works as it should. It can’t find the source for that content and just hides it.

I heard there was something unnatural about him.

There was a way around it however but not something everyone will be able to do with their home router. I had to ssh to the router using ISP admin credentials leaked on the internet, then create a file in init.d that loads a custom iptables file with the firewall rules I needed for IPv6. NAT for IPv6 however was not supported by the kennel used for my router.

This is correct. My router however doesn’t have that level of firewall. It’s either all allowed or nothing is.

The router does have a firewall but it blocks everything inbound by default. Some routers (at least mine) do not offer the granularity to filter traffic for certain devices (no NAT either). It’s either allow all in or nothing.

When you enable IPv6 and switch off the firewall (since you can’t host anything otherwise), every device becomes exposed to the internet.

Then unless the devices have a firewall themselves, all is exposed. Not just the web services, ssh and the rest as well.

Because devices in your LAN will all be accessible from the internet with IPv6, you need to firewall every device.

It becomes more of a problem for IoT devices which you can’t really control. If you can, disable ipv6 for those.

General Hux!

If you switch to Arch, this is waiting for you in AUR 😊.

In Argentina, generally you can drink straight from the tap.

In Malaysia, the water is advertised as safe to drink. Large majority however, either boils it or uses their own water filters.
