My router is just a Protectli Vault mini PC with Alpine Linux. You can essentially pick your favorite Linux (or BSD) distro and make it a router.

From the home network standpoint what good is having IPv6 on WAN if you don’t have IPv6 internally? One of the main selling points is not having to put up with the bullshit we all know as NAT — it’s weird you’d actively go against having it internally.

I want to feel the same but from a purely financial standpoint it makes sense.

Don’t want a locked down phone? Buy directly from the manufacturer.

They’re similar but mainly Tailscale arranges WireGuard tunnels between peers. There are tons of useful features around that functionality like being able to route specific traffic through specific hosts (“nodes” using “app connectors”); it’s even better at finding a way out of hostile networks using relays.

Just as an example I typically use my VPS as an “exit node” so that all my traffic routes through it (which does a ton of tunnel hopping through commercial VPNs) while my wife isn’t into that at all, but both of us have Tailscale on our devices so when either of us accesses Home Assistant it’s routed directly to the host hosting it.

I used to just use a script with cron to update Cloudflare DNS records but these days I don’t screw around with exposing anything to the public internet directly, I just use Tailscale.

I thought it was cherry Coke but I could be wrong. The hue of the photo seems to be off.

Yes blocking corporate social media domains to prevent being tracked and fingerprinted is extreme. Let’s write petty comments with sarcastic-ass hearts to continue virtual signaling and literally do the opposite of what we suggest.

My logic that I don’t want to connect to Reddit at all when I’m using Lemmy but that’s happening for who knows why? I understand how computers and networks work so I get it that Reddit shores up the hosting cost but that doesn’t really address the issue.

I have all corporate social media blocked. Why would I want to load content from Reddit, especially when I’m on Lemmy actively avoiding Reddit?

people are crossposting

What software uploads assets to Reddit then recycles the URL for embedding them on other platforms?

Can’t see it because I have i.redd.it blocked. I’m really confused why images from that domain are constantly embedded on Lemmy.

Are you thinking of Tor? i2p can be very quick once your node becomes aware of others.

Why is this always the go-to answer? I kind of wish we’d stop asking it must sync to the clearnet.

Honestly if Lemmy (and other services) were built from the ground up for anonymous overlay networks rather than clearnet in the first place it would be a better place overall.

I can’t remember for sure but I think it’s common knowledge that lemmy.world blocks VPNs. Just switch to an instance that doesn’t.

I don’t really care either but I think immediately calling it “not news” is maybe a little much.

Seriously, I am so sick of IPv4 still being “default.”

Even worse, don’t use the suggested Samba, NFS without a tunnel either! You should probably have the default ports blocked at the router.

I get the same confusion when I prove someone wrong using a universal curl example. The same guy that parses JSON by hand (rather than use a library) can’t remember how to fucking use curl.

Surprised no one just said Samba or NFS over a tunnel (Tailscale, WireGuard, etc).

Or by “sharing” do you mean keeping files synced between the two for replication?

I’m still pretty sure the meme is a joke. Ever heard of context clues?
