> But routers — including ISP gateway routers — insist on doing NAT not only for IPv4, but also for IPv6 (using the fe80:: prefix.) So on any regular home or office network, devices are going to acquire private-use IPv4 and IPv6 addresse

Which clients do you use? And how do you connect to a SIP trunk / DID without Asterisk? I use WebRTC with Asterisk, and Browser Phone for the client ( https://github.com/InnovateAsterisk/Browser-Phone ). I don'

Last time I checked, it was just a Safari webview, and missed a lot of features compared to Firefox on Android. Has that changed recently? Other nice thing of Firefox on Android: being able to listen to Youtube videos even when the screen i

Legislation can be surprisingly efficient, even if not 100% efficient. There's a borough in my city that decided to ban big billboards. Everyone hated them, they were ugly and everywhere. The advertising lobby sued, it went all the way

Yep (and be pragmatic/emphatic, a lot of this stuff can seem obscure to non-techies). My partner/wife is a long-time iPhone fan. I never tried to convert her, but she is on the point of switching to Android because she can't

Montreal (and presumably inspired from elsewhere) are moving to car weight as a metric for pricing parking permits (begin of a trend in that direction, I think). Although they do use different thresholds for EVs and ICEs, not to penalize EV

They're maybe local services, but they're not local businesses. c.f. my post :) And they can be enforced not only from assets, but also from travel or various financial tools at their disposal. (it would be surprising, but for man

Most small local newspapers are owned by huge megacorps. GDPR EU laws and some others explicitly say that they can be enforced to entities outside the EU. I don't know if it has ever been enforced, except for large multinationals. The

With Google Authenticator, there is no notification, is there? As a user, you have to open your phone, open the app, then scroll to the right code, and copy/paste it. (The lack of search in one of the reasons that made me switch to Aeg

Hmm no, I use this from time to time, and it really is just a way to copy the codes to another device. It won't delete them from the original device. It notifies the device owner after a few minutes that the TOTP have been exported, an

Prof jobs might be researched-focused, teaching-focused, or a mix of both. Some universities really pushed research, in order to go for grants and donations. It also helps attract grad students. They usually make less enjoyable undergrad ex

I would be a bit skeptical, considering how many car makers tried to trick the measurement of emissions. Create a metric, people will game it.

Both. In order to encourage existing building owners to keep their existing height, they were able to sell their air rights, which then made it possible to build tall skinny buildings. https://www.theguardian.com/cities&#x2F

Part hosting, part consulting. For Canada this causes weird situations: we have to charge our province's taxrate to clients in other provinces, and their taxrate if it's consulting. However, we don't have to charge taxes for

Are there any good resources to understanding VAT as a non-EU company? So many resources out there just want to sell their VAT-related services or assume we're a megacorp, but I've never had an EU client complain that we're n

I had many fun experiences thanks to my blog. From having random visitors contact me when I lived a few years in another country, to having the feds monitor my blog because of random notes I posted on a weekend project. However it feels a b

I run a small SaaS and it's surprising how many people never even use the service (over 20%). It's a small service that runs for cheap, so we don't have a ton of engagement/nagging emails, but we do send a monthly email

Yep, Xbox supports IPv6. Maybe it's a ricer thing, but I definitely see a difference and I compared my ISP's router (which didn't display CPU load), an openwrt router without hw flow offloading support (horrible), and an UDM

I found it annoying at first, but sometimes we don't close the door properly because it's too full, or a badly closed drawer is blocking the door.

Here's an easy one for you: if you have a gigabit connection, most home routers can barely handle the load of NAT. That's why gamers push for IPv6. It's mentioned in the article but few people realize how inefficient NAT can

Sure, but the main problem here is Apple/Google stores. Remove it there, and 99% of their users disappear. Governments don't care much about Tor, for example, because they have very little leverage (and their law enforcement use i

There's valid criticism as always (no process is perfect), but I'm pretty uncomfortable with how the intro starts with a series of false assertions, as if no one ever has questioned agile. The tl;dr is that, as a UX designer, this

It does seem made up. I think it should be backed up with references. Also, it's really unhelpful for OP's question. It's perfectly normal for men to earn less than their SO. Statistically it would be the case in 50% of cou

Something like Firefox Sync, that would simplify setting up k9mail, would be very nice.

That could be a reason to use Wise. You send money to Wise (in the same country), and they transfer money to the account in the other country. I think it works in part by assuming that they have currency in that other country, so they can a

I agree it's 100% silly conservative BS, but let's be honest: Pornhub are absolutely terrible at complying with laws. Anyone who uploads something illegal (childporn, non-fantasy rape videos, or stolen nudes) must be held accounta

What kind of user/admin are you? To setup a LAN, to setup servers, other? If it's a LAN, what kind of router do you have? I agree many howtos tend to get into the little obscure differences and weird rabbit holes (ex: tunnelling).
