Linux@programming.dev•Finland: Linux reaches desktop market share of 19.1% in July - up from 5.4% in January
7·8 months agoThat is unbelievable.

I want per device firewall and DNS rules for myself, the wife and the kids. With opnsense or pfsense I don’t believe this is possible with SLAAC, which is what android only supports.
Shove all devices on a flat network with no special firewall rules and you are probably golden. But trying to control your own network, last few times I’ve tried, is impossible.
They refuse to support DHCP6 and will only use SLAAC on Android devices.
Ipv6 is broken for those that want control over their home networks thanks to Google and terribly written RFCs.
All that was needed was an extra byte or two of address space, but no, some high and mighty evangelicals in their ivory towers built something that few people understand 30 years later. Their die hard fans are sure that this will be the year of ipv6. The Year of Linux on the Desktop will come 10 years before the year of ipv6.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Thoughts on the recent Swiss law that might require ProtonVPN to start blocking certain domains?English
12·11 months agoHow many internet connected devices do you think there are in a typical 2 adult 2 kid household, excluding phones? Here are TVs, tablets, Chromebooks, laptops, game consoles etc etc. Kids don’t jus have phones - mine don’t and there’s still a raw internet connection to almost all these devices.
And out of all of that only one has good controls for parents and believe me when I say this, setting it up was torture.
If you want to block YouTube to specific devices and not others its a really difficult thing to do. Especially when Big Tech is working against you - block the YouTube URLs on a Pihole and you’ll find that the play store also doesn’t work. There are plenty of dark patterns in all these things. Because these companies do not want to help by blocking access to the marketing bucks of kids.
There is no simple solution to all of it unless you either live in the past or you parent so 1984ly that it’ll exhaust you and alienate your kids from you.

56·11 months agoAs a very tech savvy parent I have to say that setting up an inhibited, monitored and controlled internet for specific devices and users is insanely difficult. The average person stands no chance. But sure, blame the parents instead of the technology as it is sold and delivered.

72·1 year agoInstall it once, use it on any of your devices. Run it once on a capable server so even potatoes get the advantage of it. Run it once so it only needs to support one OS and hardware architecture.
Using an app of some description over many different device types is far more of a maintenance headache and that’s before you start dealing with app stores.

Gaming@beehaw.org•I’m in dire need of a new monitor but, it seems, it is harder to find a good one than I thought.
3·1 year agoI have that Asus XG27ACS, bought it a couple of months this ago. I’ve been very happy with it. I’ve not used the stand it came with as I have desk mounted arms. The screen itself is very nice and works for both a free sync gaming monitor and the colours are good for my photo editing. It didn’t cost a fortune either. I think its the cheapest monitor I’ve bought in 20 years but it’s as good as any I’ve had before.

Formula 1@lemmy.world•2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix - [RACE] discussion thread 🏎️
2·1 year agoWas given leniency as it was the first lap. The penalties are a nonsense though. If anything, being so early in the race and there being no time limit when to take the penalty means the 5s is much much lighter than 10s in the middle of the race and pitstops. I would rather see consistent 5s penalties and they have 3 laps to take it in. So you can’t do a lunge, ignore the track limits and scamper off in clean air for 25 laps, which is what Max clearly wanted to do and almost managed it. That would have been a tragedy of the stewarding if it had happened that way.
The pros are that it’s hip and trendy and almost complete (and has been for the past 15 years).
The cons are it doesn’t work & has insane failure modes that maximise downtime.

My advise it to not bother. As soon as you need device specific firewall rules the whole thing falls apart. The evangelicals dont like this fact and will down vote me for saying it.
No one needs IPv6 in their home on their devices.
