Understood. CG-NAT has been so annoying, I would love for IPv6 to completely replace v4 ASAP

I figure the mobile carrier was blocking incoming connections to my phone. This was a couple of years ago, things might have changed since then.

Thank you

I didn’t mean prevent, just makes it harder by default. You can still open connections from within the NAT

Edit: I do admit to failing at accessing my IPv6 PC from my IPv6 phone

Edit2: apparently NAT is full of security bugs

You’re talking about NAT traversal? We do have control over which we apps we run though?

Edit: apparently NAT is full of bugs

I still have to initiate the outgoing UDP. Are you talking about the specific case where any software running on my host can initiate it without me requesting?

Edit: apparently NAT is full of security bugs

The main benefit of a NAT is that by default it prevents all external access to the hosts inside the network. Any port you have open is not accessible unless explicitly forwarded.

This has a lot of security benefits. Regardless, everything you said is sounds true to me.

Why do you say NAT doesn’t make a network more secure?

Nope

How do you actually do that?

Could have pihole running on your desktop as a backup

1W would be 8.769kWh per year. Pricing is regional.

“you’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole”

You’re not???

Did you try another power supply?

Like LetMeEatCake said, storage is cheap, cheaper than CPU power. I don’t know for sure, but if you have a video that will be played 1000 times, what would be better? Transcode 1000 times or store 8 versions of the video?

I wouldn’t assume Googe pays less for storage. They need to pay for land use in many countries, power usage, redundancy and the staff that manages all of it.

They also need powerful servers with fast caching storage and a lot of RAM. They also need to pay for the bandwidth.

As far as I know, they save multiple copies of each video in all resolutions they serve. So an 8K video will also have 4K + 1440p + 1980p + 720p + 480p + 240p + 144p Possibly also 60Hz and 30Hz for some of them and also HDR versions.

You have to add all that to the cost per TB. Finally, there is the question of how much additional storage they need per year, 100 PByr? Presumably also increasing yearly?

Cardboard is the most recyclable material we have. Plastic is complicated.

Better than recycling is to not consume in the first place.
