IPv6 does not require you to open your machine to the Internet, even without making use of a NAT. Sure you get an IP that’s valid on the whole internet, but that doesn’t mean that anyone can send you traffic.

Are these restrictions set out by the ISP or the dorm?

If you don’t do business with the ISP, then you don’t have to agree to and follow their terms.

So as long as the dorms doesn’t have rules against setting up your own WiFi, then you should be well within your rights to purchase an Internet connection from another provider, but since you are likely not allowed to get your own line installed, you are probably restricted to ISPs that provide a service over the cellular network.

Of course using a cellular connection will give you worse latencies for online games, but at least you can have your own WiFi with low latency for your VR.

If you want to be nice, you could then run as much of your Internet network over ethernet as possible, so you congest the air waves as little as possible, possibly only running the VR headset over WiFi, and maybe even only enabling the WiFi radio when you want to play VR. If all your WiFi devices support 5GHz, you might also completely disable your 2.4GHz WiFi, to leave the most congested frequencies alone.

To lower the chance of someone complaining about your WiFi, you should configure it as a “hidden network”, such that it doesn’t broadcast an SSID, and therefore doesn’t show up when people are looking for WiFi networks to connect to.

In case of YouTube you can actually dump the link into VLC, and it will happily buffer the whole video while paused. This probably works with other sites, but I have only tested YouTube.

Alternatively you can of course just download the video with yt-dlp, and then play it locally

I really don’t see much benefit to running two clusters.

I’m also running single clusters with multiple ingress controllers both at home and at work.

If you are concerned with blast radius, you should probably first look into setting up Network Policies to ensure that pods can’t talk to things they shouldn’t.

There is of course still the risk of something escaping the container, but the risk is rather low in comparison. There are options out there for hardening the container runtime further.

You might also look into adding things that can monitor the cluster for intrusions or prevent them. Stuff like running CrowdSec on your ingresses, and using Falco to watch for various malicious behaviour.

No need for a physically separated network, that’s what VLANs are for

Why on earth would you have multiple WiFi networks in your home?

Mine is more like:

10 minutes? Oh neat, that sounds like a nice little snack, maybe a new topic to discover?

Half an hour? Oooh, this could get interesting, this could be a pretty good introduction to the topic.

An hour? Nice, someone clearly did some research and isn’t skimping in details! Time to learn something.

Six hours? Holy heck, this topic must be much deeper than I though! This person clearly did some homework and has something to say! Time to get consumed.

Ah, I misunderstood then. I keep hearing Americans praise Jesus, only to turn around and do everything Jesus told people not to do…

But yeah it totally makes sense when you only consider these people who only use the Bible as a tool.

Isn’t Jesus from the new testament?

The GDPR does not in any way disallow Facebook from running ads, regardless of the users consent. But if the user doesn’t consent, Facebook can’t run targeted ads on the user.

You’re absolutely correct… However it will be very interesting to see how this doesn’t violate the GDPR… recital 42 says:

“Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.”

Withdrawing consent in this case causes the detriment of having to either pay or lose access to the service… So this clearly isn’t “freely given” consent.

If that’s the case, you simply installed a heat pump with too little capacity…

Heatpumps come in all sizes… I just looked up one that outputs 50 kW worth of heat, and if that isn’t enough you can integrate up to 16 of them to output a total of 800 kW of heat.

That being said, if your house is badly insulated and drafty, you should fix that first, it will immediately cut your heating bill, no matter which heat source you use.

Epson Eco-Tanks if you want to print pictures

Else Brother Laser/LED, and order the pictures you want in print from a webshop.

I read that the ash is actually quite bad for fertilising plants… And it might even hinder the plants growth… I don’t have the source handy, unfortunately…

So if you want to be environmental, your best bet is probably to be composted (only legal en very few places) or buried in a cardboard coffin.

I personally trust Asus, EVGA (Rip), Gigabyte, Palit, PNY, Sapphire and XFX when buying graphics cards.

My current card is a Geforce GTX 1060 6GB from Asus that I bought in 2017, and it hasn’t skipped a beat.3A

Honestly everyone should just stop offering 2FA over SMS

I’m perfectly satisfied with the theory that bender simply is 430.04% or more in total.

Yeah, you’re right, it seems many of these sites are getting a free pass, and reaping she benefits… Eventhough it’s obviously not allowed by the GDPR.

There has already been multiple rulings under the GDPR where pages made it too hard to reject processing of personal data.

Google was forced to change their consent banner to make it easier to decline.

GDPR explicitly says that it must be as easy to decline as it is to accept. Paying €14 per month is not as easy as not paying €14 per month.

Consent is also not “freely given” if paying is the only way to avoid consenting.
