While there is some merit in having a secure LAN, I see where you’re coming from. I assume anything leaving the LAN is insecure, and why I prefer secure protocols. However, this is often impractical for many devices and projects on the LAN

Our Charter Spectrum “cable” connection goes over a microwave link like this. How do I know? Well, we had a pretty big wildfire a couple years ago that burned a microwave tower a couple hours away. The official response was that they couldn

I knew families like this growing up. To me it’s less about how long they have been here vs if they are first or second+ generation immigrants. It has always seemed like the second generation onward picks up English. * I’m obviously a small

Personally, I’d like to see a slower addition of features in something as critical as OpenSSL. LibreSSL (part of the OpenBSD project) has been aggressively pruning and hardening the codebase and is not immune to bugs. Security in crypto lib

I wonder if when these things leak and become ever-more damaging, biometrics will basically become worthless and we will pivot to hardware tokens or something else. There seems to be little resistance to this in the USA, and we’re also okay

I’m trying to dig up the M17 messages on the chipsets, but until then - WiFi is incredibly popular and operates on ISM bands. Same with LoraWan, and I have seen some proprietary 900Mhz mesh devices (I think called Milo(?)). The M17 project

I’m just coming back to this thread to answer some of the other comments over the next few days, but WiFi does count here. It operates on ISM bands, AFAIK there are OSS chips, and it allows encryption. What’s more interesting to me is that

The problem with encryption is that it discourages interaction between hams (which is already pretty bad, tbh). Yes, you’re supposed to announce your callsign, but my bet is that unsavory characters would take advantage of that. I think it’

There are ways to transmit encryption legally if you really want to. It just take a bunch of time and a little money to get the right licenses. Encryption really isn’t in the spirit of ham radio, and the other licenses are honestly probably

I think the OC was speaking more figuratively. Another more recent example might be the US throwing its weight around in the South China Sea - thus trying to protect it interests (and the dollar).

How is it any worse than IPv4?

by jjjjmoney 3y ago
This isn't entirely about static port-forwarding. As others have pointed out, STUN, VoIP, PASV, etc rely on deterministic NAT behavior to work. That is not always guaranteed, and often out of your control.

Not even your ISP - it could be university, business, shared internet for apartments, etc.

Yes this is absolutely possible, but I do like that IPv6 doesn't mandate NAT.

by jjjjmoney 3y ago
You might not but NAT has many different flavors, and many people don't get to choose which is used on their network. https://serverfault.com/questions/208522/what-is-strict-mode... This can particularly play

I don't think Apple is the pinnacle of repairability by any means, but they have been making slow improvements in this area (like replaceable back glass in the new model phones, the entire mainboard doesn't need to be replaced for
