My ISP gave me an interesting scare a couple of minutes ago. As you know if you do not want to pay them for a permanent IPv4 address, which I consider obsolete networking, they remotely reboot your gateway device and assign it a random IP out of one of their IPv4 pools.

This time it didn't take the usual long 30 to 90 Seconds to reboot the device and transfer credentials to obtain the new IP.
The Gateway got in an infinite loop somewhere and I had to Power it off, then had to wait 90 seconds to power cycle it before it took 180 seconds for the device to finally get the new IP.

Someone screwed up the login sequences for the xDSL devices of which the hashtag is in the toot and now we as the paying customer again have to pay for it in wasted time.

Luckily this power cycling off xDSL devices occurs only once in 6 weeks and usually I do not use the internet at that point in time.

In case you are wondering my Gateway uses obsolete technology, is forcibly assigned by the ISP and it's also cursed with a extremely low transfer speed.

I just included a speedtest after first draft of this toot

As you can see the speeds here are so low the connection is virtually unusable for anything where you have to move a big bites of data. They still manage to extort more than USD 30 a month for this connection

The screencap displays the results of an internet speed test conducted using the OpenSpeedTest site. The background is dark, with the OpenSpeedTest logo prominently featured at the top. Below the logo, the text "INTERNET SPEED TEST RESULT" is displayed in white. The results are presented in three distinct sections, each with a black background and white text. The first section, labeled "DOWNLOAD," shows a speed of 11.22 Mbps with a downward arrow icon. The second section, labeled "PING," indicates a value of 105.0 with a circular arrow icon and a jitter of 105.00 Ms. The third section, labeled "UPLOAD," shows a speed of 6.52 Mbps with an upward arrow icon. The overall layout is clean and organized, with a blue line separating the sections.

Question to the network people out there:

Are there any ISPs that are IPv6 only (without providing a NAT/whatever)?

Background: Having an argument with a provider that hasn't published any AAAA records, and whilst I think that's poor form, I'm wondering if this would actually negatively affect any actual users in practice?

I'm looking for #recommendations for a UK-based #domain #registrar.

Requirements:
- MFA auth
- be a UK entity
- VAT invoices

Anti-requirements:
- not be Beasts (as I already like+use them, and the purpose of this change is to decouple my hosting+DNS-provider from my registrar)
- not be PF (I sincerely hope that TB-at-PF is doing ok, but their lack of responsiveness on a recent issue has made me conclude that relying on a 1-man-band for domain regs isn't sensible)

Well that was weird. Solid red lights on router for more than 20 minutes. Used the. ISP automated troubleshooting tool - it said "we'll need to send and engineer to fix the issue which is outside your home complete with expected fix by date of the 17th....
10 minutes after that everything seems to be working again...Hmn. 'Fixed' or not, time will tell.... 🤔

I suspect #NBN contractors might be at work in my street [& specifically outside my house atm], finally running fibre-optic cable up my street from the node box ~700 m away. A normal peep would not speculate, but simply wander outside, say g'day, & have a look/ask. Ofc not me though; i'm quietly under my bed, trembling with all the other silverfish & cockroaches & spiders, hoping they & their noise go away soon.

D0gknows how i'm gonna manage, some other time, to actually deal with them coming into my place, inside my home, for the necessary Doings, later once my #ISP advises me that #FttP is finally available for me if i want it [which i do, just not the peeps needed to get it]. Sigh.

@torproject same with #obfs4 bridges: there is no option to say like ports=80,443 or similar, which makes it cumbersome to get said bridges.

And trying to get places to #DontBlockTor that criminalize the use of #Tor is foolish at best.

Contabo ToS Section 9.4: " (4) The Provider is entitled to immediately block any webspace packages and servers that are being used to operate the “TOR” service, insofar as the Provider has become aware that the server or package is being used unlawfully. "
