So you admit you can block IPv6 traffic in your rebuke to IPv6 adoption. What’s then the issue? Block what you want, it’s your network, but do it with a firewall and not NAT.

Sure, nature took its course, but did NATs make things better? I’m a game dev and getting two computers to talk to each other is so so much harder due to NAT traversal, requiring punchthrough servers. Voice chat and stuff need STUN/TURN servers. A game has to account for “what if my host wants to connect two clients, one of which within the NAT and one without?”
Makes far more sense to give every device an address and just talk to it and leave security and port openness up to firewalls.
IPv4 is definitely a large part of the blame for this and we need to start resting the blame there in hopes we force these companies (and their users) to actually use it. We need ISPs to support it, of course for end users, but at the enterprise level everything should be IPv6. It should have been IPv6 a decade ago, or more.

1·7 months agoAlright, so I have had Jellyfin installed for years now, but my primary issue is that most devices myself or my users use lack official, readily-available clients. For example, the Samsung TV app is a developer mode install. Last I looked, nobody has put a build into the store.
I really want to use Jellyfin, but I feel like my users simply can’t. I’m interested in others’ experiences here that could help.

I mean preppers try to be as self sufficient as they can. Hosting your own stuff is similar to that, so yeah, I guess.
My outage was when the internet to my house was intermittent, not when AWS went down
