@bakethebreads @pixie228 @toobbroadband If you rely on your Internet for your income, why are you using a consumer product (rather than business broadband) without a backup connection?

[Graeme @heliosfa]

@productive_will @pixie228 @toobbroadband If you rely on your Internet to make a living, then your really should not be relying on a consumer product. Business broadband is a thing with higher levels of service. If it's that critical, you should also have some sort of backup connectivity. This is basic business sense...

@shepherd0619 @noIPv6 @BenSjoberg Avoiding carrier grade NAT is the big one. Pretty much every new ISP in the UK is having to go with CGNAT, and even some of the larger players are having to look at going that route. This comes with performance and stability issues for home users that are getting more noticeable.

[Graeme @heliosfa]

@clarkgaylord @DaryllSwer @noIPv6 Windows desktop does support CLAT, but only on mobile data interfaces...

@Sk1l1d @toobbroadband It took about 4-5 months from the cabinet going in to them doing installations.

[Graeme @heliosfa]

Hey @toobbroadband I am really looking forward to signing up when you go live where I am (which I hope is soon as a cabinet was installed outside a few weeks ago), but I just wanted to ask if your setup is giving out native IPv6 to customers? Also, is the IPv4 global or CGNAT?

[Graeme @heliosfa]

@clicky How is this any worse than the current hellscape of CGNAT with short session times that is proliferating? You will already have IP addresses changing in the middle of a session.

@expert_reseau @noIPv6 @UKIPv6Council @Enno_Insinuator They were talking about their own IPv6 journey

[UK IPv6 Council @UKIPv6Council]

Hi, free registration is now open for our IPv6 and Enterprise workshop in London on 24 April. See https://t.co/6PZrFKspe1 #IPv6

@Iinux Easy now, our Police already think Linux is used for hacking: https://t.co/Rooql1GKq6

[GarethIllmann-Walker 🐧 @G_IW]

This utter crap is being distributed through schools from the 'local authority' so presume @WalsallCouncil today. The level of disinformation is staggering. I'd be proud to find my kids learning to use any of these. Except Discord but that's nothing to do with hacking.

[Graeme @heliosfa]

@richardgomer @unisouthampton Oh, this is that horrible training from an external company (why when we have our cybersecurity group...)? The one that is incredibly badly written from both a tech and teaching standpoint, while being horribly inaccessible?

[Graeme @heliosfa]

@ItzLcyx @Phrewfuf yes, IPv6 has a simpler header and improves a lot of things. IPv4 was cobbled together in the early days of the 'net & not intended for what we have now.

Your proposal has the same problems as v6- legacy devices can't play with it, so it will have slower adoption than IPv6.

[Graeme @heliosfa]

@mrt_amblyn @dcamerony @HantsPolRoads Yes, there is a database of MoTs, and you can look it up online. As for reminders, you can sign up for them here: https://t.co/zxQaGWlWde . It's been mentioned on the certificates for the last several years...

@noIPv6 I can see it having some academic benefit, but only if you have actually taught the material. Sometimes the "evil" questions have the most education benefit as it encourages students to actually go off and do some digging.

[Graeme @heliosfa]

@noIPv6 This is something that I have been thinking about and addressing.

As I teach networking to our Comp-Sci students in all three years that they can learn it, I have been actively moving my examples, slides, etc. over to IPv6 where I can. Previously everything was IPv4 dominant.

[Graeme @heliosfa]

@noIPv6 Sorry, I made a mistake and fat fingered my numbers trying to reply before heading out.

Of 176 institutions in the UK that can award degrees, 123 offer CS or computing undergrad degrees.

Of those 123 only 10 listed IPv6 in their public sylabus in March this year...

@kingslyj @nikize0 @noelgeorgi NAT without a stateful firewall is not security.

There is nothing stopping any other customer of your ISP who is in the same network segment as your WAN setting a route for your LAN range via your WAN address. Given that some ISPs run /22s, that is a lot of exposure.

[Graeme @heliosfa]

@JCLBPC @affirmedsystems @IPv6Mafia @MGMGrand @noIPv6 Different? Yes. Difficult? No. Accessing the neighbour tables on your switches and using these as a component of your access control is not beyond the wit of man. Some Universities have had solutions based around this in place for over a decade.

@DVSAEnforcement Hey @DisabilityGovUK @accessibleweb any comment on @DVSAEnforcement's abuse of alt text as a tweet-overflow? They seem to be having a spate of it at the moment...
