SLAAC won’t work with a smaller subnet. Static addressing is not an option since your /64 is going to be dynamically assigned. That leaves DHCPv6, which won’t work with any android devices or chromebooks.
It would be best to just run IPv6 on one network if you can’t at least get a /60.
An IPv6 subnet must be /64. Anything else breaks stuff. If you want a separate network for guests or IoT devices, a single /64 won’t be enough because it can’t be divided up any smaller.
You need to find out if your ISP supports prefix delegation. A /64 will only give you one subnet. An ISP should supply a /56 if your router requests it. There are some bad ISPs out there that won’t though.
Firefox supports DNS over HTTPS. Enabling it will bypass the operating systems DNS. You can set a custom server that has ad blocking.
I never bought the network adapter for my PS2, so they won’t be adding any age verification to it.
The AI RAM is HBM. It’s useless for a PC unless someone releases a desktop graphics card that uses it.
For a NAS, you can use Backblaze B2, but they certainly aren’t the cheapest. B2 doesn’t have the limitations that the personal and business plans have, but you pay by the TB.
There are lots of cloud backup providers. Just make sure it supports the OS on your NAS. Any of them that claim to be unlimited will not truly be unlimited.
The software only allows local drives to be backed up, but some people use workarounds to make it backup a large NAS or server.
That’s not surprising with all of the data hoarders abusing the unlimited backups to store hundreds of terabytes.
I would be happy to have any fiber at all. The only options here are satellite and DSL. The DSL is basically unusable and only available to existing customers. I’m pretty sure the ISP wants to make everyone cancel so they don’t have to maintain the copper lines anymore.
There’s definitely a way to play offline. 🏴☠️
A 56k modem is way faster than Meshtastic. It’s more like a 1200 baud modem and everyone in the neighborhood shares the bandwidth.
Making a gun is already illegal in California and Washington. This stupid law won’t make any difference. If someone is willing to break the law to make a gun, they probably are not going to follow this law either. 3D printed guns are rarely used to commit crimes anyways. It takes a lot of time and effort to get one to work well.
This is probably about companies like Bamboo Labs wanting an excuse to lock down printers even more. It will also make it difficult or impossible for smaller companies to sell 3D printers in California to get rid of competition.
You can always just remove microslop from your computer instead.
With a 24MHz sample rate, there will be 30 samples per bit. The narrowest a pulse for the WS2812 can be is 220 ns, which will be about 5 samples. That’s more than enough to decode it.
The WS2812 only runs at 800kbps. That’s well within the capabilities of one of those 24 MHz FX2 based USB logic analyzers that you can get for less than $10. Sigrok has a protocol decoder for the WS2812 LEDs.
That idle power consumption doesn’t seem right. That’s less than a Raspberry Pi.
The Thinkpads are typically quite easy to work on. Lenovo’s consumer grade laptops are mostly disposable junk though.
As long as the PC isn’t being connected to the internet, there’s no reason you can’t just keep running an old kernel.
Modern operating systems don’t use the MAC address for SLAAC. They generate a completely random address. You can choose a stable address or a temporary one that will change frequently for more privacy. You can also use both, IPv6 allows multiple addresses on one device.
