was just a standard residential setup,
The distinction is important because we are discussing IPv6. A “standard residential setup” with IPv6 would provide the user with an entire subnet rather than a single IP address. We still need a router to pass traffic from the ISP’s network to our own network, but we no longer need NAT.
It’ll take you public IP and translate those packets to use your internal one.
That is NAT, yes. But that is only one small function that a router can perform, and not all routers have NAT enabled. You only need NAT if your ISP only allows you to use a single IP address.
If your computer has an address that starts with 169, 168, or 10 there is a NAT somewhere in your network.
That’s not actually true. I can create such a network without connecting it to the internet, no NAT. I can create a second network, again, no NAT. I can then use a gateway router that allows any node on the first network to reach any node on the second. That router is still not doing any NAT. It’s just passing traffic between two networks.
Every single one of those temporary IP addresses has the same prefix, which traces back to you.
Its about as anonymous as adding an apartment number to your own street address.
i would say you want to route through as many jurisdictions as you feasibly can. For example, US investigators arent going to get any cooperation from Iran or North Korea; any trail that crosses into their borders is going to be a dead end for their investigation.
Never used plex. Finally got around to installing Jellyfin. Very happy with it.
So, they left a bucket of water to stagnate next to a bus stop?
I never got beyond proof of concept, and definitely didn’t keep any documentation.
I used voip.ms as a VPN trunk provider. They handled the incoming and outgoing calls to/from the PSTN, connecting them to my server.
If you’re not familiar with Tasker, I wholeheartedly endorse it. I thought it was a little unintuitive at first, but I use it for all kinds of things now.
I had a setup with a remote Asterisk server, and a Tasker app on my phone.
If I pressed a button on the phone, it placed a call to the Asterisk server, which dumped the call into a recorded conference room.
That was simple enough. The fun part happened next. The cops are always shown telling stopped subjects to stop recording and hang up phones. They’ll take the phone out of your hand, and attempt to delete recordings. I wanted to address that.
I worked out a script on the Asterisk server where if the phone hung up, it would immediately dial back, and dump the call right back in the recorded conference room. Tasker on the phone would silently answer a call from that number.
That was about as far as I got. I had planned on some way of the asterisk server dialing a contact list and adding them to the conference.
Not all providers deserve your business.
I used the same approach at the family business for years without any major problems. Go for it.
You can set up a simple, dumb thermostat in parallel, to act as a failsafe. Set it 5 degrees below your lowest heat setpoint, and even if your server crashes, it doesn’t let your house freeze.
Try Briar.
I found this: https://bluewallet.io/watch-only/
Since it doesn’t use the wallet’s private address, you should be able to use any public address, and not just an address for your own wallet.
If my shotgun starts making strange noises, I check the brownies.
The only technology in my house is me, and I keep a loaded shotgun next to me in case I make a noise I don’t recognize.
(Am I doing this right?)
I use Tasker to log my weight to a Google Sheets spreadsheet, and just use a dumb scale.
The only piece of technology in my house is a toaster from 1982, and I keep a loaded shotgun next to it just in case it makes a noise I don’t recognize.
Hybrid hard drive. Basically, a hard drive with a large solid state cache.
Actual shipping would vary depending on location, but sellers are padding the shipping charge so they can display a lower unit price.
Need to add shipping charges to the price…
You can create a virtual machine, running within your debian install, to serve as your router. It actually works very well.
I used a headless Debian VM as a router with Shorewall to configure iptables. If I had to do it again, I probably would have used an opensense VM.
