TMO has had IPV6 implemented for mobile devices for years. There’s no way they only implemented IPV4 on a home/business service that uses the same network and the same towers.

Does their current equipment (and yours) support IPV6? If so CGNAT won’t be involved.

Your WG network is a separate subnet. Add it to PAPERLESS_ALLOWED_HOSTS to allow access.

not that any of this is doable in the near future, since i’m behind cgnat and won’t get my colocated bounce server up until spring.

Doesn’t IPV6 allow direct external access even when cgnat is in use for IPV4?

When I was running a mesh topology I often had the same issue. Switching to a star topology fixed pretty much everything.

I’ve been using Syncthing for years and it’s been almost flawless with only rare file sync errors that are clearly shown in the UI. Was going to switch to Nextcloud for everything. Looks like I’ll be sticking with Syncthing for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for posting this.

So you’re just another Internet “expert”. Got it.

Lol. Read what? Does your TV manual or privacy policy tell you what’s being transmitted? Have you ever even bought a connected appliance?

Since I haven’t pulled it apart or tried to decrypt the ssl traffic I have no idea whether it has “a microphone or something.” That’s the point.

Ours has needed very little maintenance and has quickly become a necessity because it gets the floors much cleaner that we ever did. An unexpected consequence is that the whole house stays cleaner because we still spend some of the time and energy we were spending on sweeping on other cleaning tasks.

As much as the thing irritates me you’d have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.

My robot vac will only operate when connected to the Internet so it’s only allowed to communicate when actually in use. As soon as it returns to the charger Internet access is automatically blocked.

Unfortunately the manufacturer has deliberately made this as inconvenient as possible. If communication is blocked for more than a few hours the vacuum loses all maps and will no longer even load saved maps from the Tuya app. To use it the vac must be powered down and the app killed. Only then can a saved map be restored.

It’s too bad it’s so useful.

Wifi calling is another pain point with GrapheneOS. According to what I’ve found online it works on T-Mobile, sometimes works on Verizon and is completely blocked on AT&T.

I just dumped T-Mobile because incoming calls from just about everyone regularly went to dead air and T-Mobile could not find anything wrong. Calls come through on Verizon but their coverage is shit where I live, making wifi calling is a must and GrapheneOS a no-go.

Dumb downed? They’ve taken a simple error and made it into something that does scare users. The “Repair application?” was far more alarming to my visiting friend than a “No Internet connection” would have been. It is astounding that any company would put out such complete shit.

What kind of idiots create a program that says, “Outlook failed to load. Repair application?” when the only problem is the wifi is disconnected?

Google: “Based on this feedback and our ongoing conversations with the community, we are building a new advanced flow that allows experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn’t verified.

I’ve been side loading apks since I bought my first Android phones and am much more concerned about malware “safe” apps from Google’s Play store. Google’s quality control is shit.

Many in the FFmpeg community argue, with reason, that it is unreasonable for a trillion-dollar corporation like Google, which heavily relies on FFmpeg in its products, to shift the workload of fixing vulnerabilities to unpaid volunteers.

Google may once have felt an obligation to support the open source software they rely on, but that day’s long gone. They have become nothing more than a skeleton of distilled capitalism, shedding any pretense of being of benefit to society along with their “Don’t be evil” motto.

Google’s behavior makes perfect sense with the understanding that every single move, no matter how small, is only about generating more revenue.

This week Amazon starting pushing ads to customers paying extra for ad-free Prime Video.

Corporations are now so powerful they don’t have to abide by reasonable norms, contracts, or laws any longer. Any fines are just a cost of doing business and are a small fraction of the profits they generate.

What are customers going to do anyway? Go to other businesses that are doing the exact same things on different days?
