The Kame ipsec project (https://www.kame.net) has a turtle image which is animated if visited with an IPv6 address.

Not exactly that layout, but I can strongly recommend MessagEase. Also optimized for phone use.

First thing I do on a new laptop is remapping a key I won’t be using much to Insert, which I use all the time :)

Been using the Kensington Expert Wireless a couple of years now.

My go to smartphone keyboard is MessagEase. A few larger buttons instead of many small. You can get quite fast on it, and larger buttons means fewer mistakes.

What, no websocket-based realtime statistics for number of total, daily and hourly mistypings?

I was made aware of Lemmy through links on reddit, with the whole API horror show.

Also most happy about it, and although I’m still not that active, I’m participating a bit more now. It definitively feels better to contribute to a group effort like Lemmy than to a large corporation that makes me the product.

You are completely right about SwitchOS, and it is even more exciting that some models sells in two versions, with the only difference being called CSS* for SwitchOS, or CRS* for RouterOS. And the SwitchOS-enabled model is much cheaper, so customers ordering for themselves almost always pick the wrong one (that is, SwitchOS, which we can’t manage properly in our automations and other software solutions).

Can only agree on Mikrotik routers. All are using RouterOS, which works the same on all their devices, from routers to switches and access points.

They are relatively cheap for the capabilites you’re getting. They have their own scripting language, two APIs (their new one is REST-based).

GUI (winbox is recommended, and plays nice with wine. Wouldn’t recommend web interface, just cumbersome) and CLI exists.

They have a lot of builtin functionality, like DHCP server, DNS server with static configuration, and even file sharing. Some models are powerful enough to run Docker images on (yes, that’s builtin…).

We’re running a couple of hundred and don’t have much problem with them.

I guess that means able to access services on the Internet over IPv6, not me being able to get a /64 and providing services myself to others.

Sort of ok for phones I guess, although not as great if someone doesn’t have access to fiber and have to use a mobile link in a residential environment.

Bahnhof actually just provides NAT:ed fiber connections as well as default, but will issue a public, unique IP if asked (at no additional cost).

I liked the look of Dashy, but it felt somewhat too heavy software for the simple dashboard I needed, and so I wrote the first version of Dashie.

It only uses Javascript and doesn’t need any server components except a webserver. Configuration is done by editing YAML files.

Themes are implemented, and multiple pages which can be used to make more complex navigation of multiple dashboards.

Check it out :)

In Sweden we have just one ISP for non-commercial customers providing native IPv6 adresses (Bahnhof) on fiber connections, and even then we can’t get a static prefix from them.

Not quite sure on the mobile ISPs though.
