Facebook is EXPLICIT that they do not care about this. If you report the post they will respond that financial fraud is NOT something they pursue as part of their community standards.

Not sure of the exact shows she wants but since I 'cut the cord' from Comcast video services 4 years ago I haven't found a single show that I couldn't watch when I wanted to using on-demand streaming. Initially I went with YouTubeTV because of their 'unlimited' cloud DVR but with their price...

Just drop their video service completely, go data only and get a good streaming box - FireTV or Roku or whatever. You’ll get more choices than Comcast will ever offer and have more control over what you want to pay for. Linear cable service days are over…

That is the lie they are hoping to hook people with. It is 1.2mbps down, 40up - with a promise of symmetrical speeds later in 2023 in “limited markets”. They’ve talked about possibility of 10g in docsis 4.0 with deployment many years down the line. Maybe. They do have a few (very few)...

Uh huh…marginally higher maybe. They do have plans to (eventually) offer symmetric upload speeds. But it’s not “10g” speeds. It’s marketing.

Marketing. Pure marketing, no meaning, no substance,

But of course I do and they have yet to comment to me about it. Likely because it is used very lightly and, overall, I am still more than 10x below their overall usage limit. If you were more aggressive about it they would likely assert their TOS and bill you and/or kick you off. Like almost...

Definitely never use UPNP. It is a security risk disaster. If your router supports it you should disable it ASAP. Port forward is OK - but better to port-forward to a reverse-proxy server in your network than directly to the NVR. Something like Traefik or HA-Proxy. Lots of examples of how...

There is a good reason most router/firewall software is based on BSD. Other than sheer momentum and the fact they they have just forked each others code (.e.g, PFSense/OpenSense, etc.). Most of these platforms rely on OpenBSD Packet Filters, which until recently only existed in the BSD kernel...

OpenWRT is Linux based.

Does MIL use a humidifier?

Born pre-JFK assassination. Was also major driver for IPv6 consumer introduction at a large wireless company. Sometimes the old guys are drivers for change - we are not all stuck living in the past ;)

I don't know how to define "a lot". But I did just look and I have 63 wifi clients currently attached at my house. I would guess that makes my network somewhat above average.

This. +10,000. NAT is a thorn in the side of the internet. While it might not bother your day-to-day web browsing there are literally thousands of applications that are not "NAT safe" and require Application Specific Gateways to make them work right, which has led to security nightmare...

Disregarding the opinionated part... The effective lifespan of IPv4 has been extended by the widespread adoption of CG-NAT by the largest ISPs and the growth of IPv6 on the interior of most large scale networks like AWS, Azure, the ISPs themselves, wireless carriers, etc. This has allowed the...
