Indeed. I would love to have a “modernized Morrowind” experience – an RPG game that really nails the role-playing part of RPG, but without the cheesy parts of Morrowind like the unintuitive combat system – but all of us know that it’s just not gonna happen.
Were I really strawmanning you? Is “I never even implied the opposite” really true? Quote:
So, really, you were “correcting” me for you and your specific setup
Yeah, my “specific setup”… which can be found in virtually all routers today.
Oh come on, are you seriously suggesting that default-deny stateful firewall is not the norm??
Holy. Fucking. Shit. Indeed.
You keep on suggesting to me that you really have no idea how networking works. (Which is par on course for people thinking NAT == security, but I digress)
Let me tell you: All. Modern. Routers. include a stateful firewall. If it supports NAT, it must support stateful firewalling. To Linux at least, NAT is just a special kind of firewall rule called masquerade. Disregarding routers, even your computer whether Linux (netfilter) or Windows (Windows Firewall) comes built-in with a stateful firewall.
It’s a stateful firewall. It simply drops unsolicited packets.
How is this “dropping packets” not applicable to firewalls, then? You are not just going to casually connect to my IPv6 device as we’re speaking. The default-deny firewall in my router does the heavy lifting… just like what NAT did.
Honestly, it just sounds like you need to brush up on networking knowledge. Repeat after me: NAT is not security.
Wait, why are we talking about Layer 7 when NAT and firewalls are Layer 4 at best?
Consumer router firewalls are generally trash

They are literally piggybacking on the netfilter module of Linux. I don’t see how that’s trash
Wow, Europe, you guys sure are worrying us a little.

I reckon I see most IPv6 complainers are from the US though…
In my country, turning on IPv6 is not really something ceremonial, it’s just literally clicking on the IPv6 checkbox. The default configurations set in the router are good enough for an average home user, firewalls and all that security jazz are enabled by default.
The DNS didn’t break just because I enabled IPv6, nor did my phone apps stop working. Life goes on, and I have gotten rid of that terrible CGNAT. Somehow this is not the case for many US users across multiple ISPs, I have heard IPv6 horror stories from Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T. Like how did you manage to do that?
The word you are looking for is firewall not NAT.
NAT does not provide security whatsoever. If the NAT mapped your (internal IP, internal port) to a certain (external IP, external port) and you do not have a firewall enabled, everyone can reach your device by simply connecting to that (external IP, external port).
I haven’t seen routers that do not come with IPv6 firewalls enabled by default.
I think you are complicating things a tad too much. American kitchens have sockets that provide 240V electricity.
Assuming the entire US court system isn’t in the corporate pocket
I love your optimism
The reason why English sounds so different from its relatives like Dutch and German.
It has a 65L (14.3 gallon) tank with a 10kwh battery.
Apparently the whole system is just efficient enough to accomplish the numbers – some Chinese youtubers managed to juice 2500km (about 1500mi) out of that car in a real world test, even if you discounted it by 20% that’s still an amazing 2000km (1250 mi).
Also, icons. The icons in Windows XP are too recognizable. You need to minimalize them. In fact, minimalize it so hard that not one person could understand what the icon is even referring to.
You see, shit like this is why I think some of the Eastern philosophers like Xunzi hit the mark on what “God” is: God is not a sentient being, God does not have a conscious mind like we do, God simply is.
Of course, those people didn’t call this higher being the God, they called it “Heaven”, but I think it’s really referring to the natural flow of the world, something that is not controlled by us. Maybe the closest equivalent to this concept in the non-Eastern world is “Luck” – people rarely assign “being lucky” to the actions of <insert deity here>, it simply happens by the flow of this world, it is not the action of an all-knowing, all-powerful deity. But like I said, it’s merely the closest approximation of the Heaven concept I can think of.
The side effect coming out of this revelation is that, you can’t blame the Heaven for your own misfortunes. The Heaven is not a sentient being after all!
Breaking news: not all parents are good at parenting.
It is obviously talking about “the continent Europe, excluding Russia”. What is there to be confused about?
But personal files are… personal?
Research journals are published. Public.
I use arch btw.
