Any #networking people know how much residential ISPs pay for bandwidth these days? I wonder if mine is keeping an eye on me or if this is just normal in 2025 lol

Do I have anyone within my reach who would be willing to help me debug a DNAT issue on OPNsense?
I can sincerely say that it's *probably* trivial, and I am *probably* just missing something obvious; but it's not obvious when you're not quite sure what you're looking for. Reading the documentation, browsing the forum and searching the web has not led me to find a solution.
🍜 "State of libsoup" with Patrick Griffis at #GUADEC2025 📅 24 July 🕒 12:30 CEST 📍 Brescia 🔧 From 3.0 to what’s next—Patrick gives an update on GNOME’s HTTP library libsoup.
Welcome to GUADEC 2025 GUADEC is the GNOME community’s largest conference, bringing together hundreds of users, contributors, community members, and enthusiastic supporters for a week of talks and workshops.
While we believe #Accessibility should be a key component of any project from the outset, one of the advantages of open source is that those with the knowledge are able to contribute to projects to help address shortcomings. @wireshark is "The world's most popular #network protocol analyzer", and a fellow #OpenSource project. Do we know any #A11y coders with an interest in #Networking willing to give them a hand with accessibility? See their post here: fosstodon.org/@wireshark@ioc.e… #FOSS
I was at UUNET Canada, an ISP and had to work from 9-3am testing scripts after midnight. Spoiler: they all worked fine.
No pics of the night but found this one from my first day in 1997. I had to label each end of these ethernet cables between two banks of switches. #networking
Happy birthday to ARPANET, the forerunner of the modern internet! 53 years ago, the first message was sent over this pioneering network, paving the way for a world of interconnection and innovation.
As a tech enthusiast, I am constantly amazed by the ways the internet has transformed our lives, allowing us to communicate, learn and share ideas across boundaries and borders. From social media to e-commerce, from telemedicine to remote work, the internet has become an essential part of our daily routines, enabling us to connect with others and access a wealth of information at our fingertips.
A quick story/rant.. my cousin got my mother a new coffee maker. I don't expect my mom to use the WiFi functionality, but I'm still concerned about why we would need a whole coffee maker to have a small computer in it... I understand the versatility of not having a hub, and that hubs are also a single point of access for any malicious actors, but I'm sure a hub for multiple devices instead of a thing for a coffee maker would be updated much more frequently, and supported for longer. If nothing else, maybe I can pull it into my janky Home Assistant setup somehow.
Even if it doesn't end up being a gateway for snooping on home network, it is quite silly, in my opinion. Now, I must go check to see if anyone's hacked at these yet lol...
Edit for folks not reading the thread. Looks like badly configured reverse dns; that IP actually has multiple domains associated with it, all of them wrong. So you know somethings badly messed up when #traceroute shows lots of my traffic going through ftp.clarins.ca. Why does #Clarins, the makeup and skincare brand, have an FTP server? What do they do with it? Why is it routing traffic for The National Research Council (nrc.ca) and other #Canadian government websites? I have many questions. #networking #canada
This article (cited on Slashdot) suggests that the policy decision by Amazon Web Services to charge for IPv4 addresses could accelerate migration to IPv6. My ISPs (both cable and mobile) support IPv6, as does my server's hosting provider, so I personally made the switch to a dual-stack configuration quite some time ago. Those who haven't (and who use AWS) now have an additional financial incentive. supabase.com/blog/ipv6 #IPv6 #networking
This article introduces the new L4S standard (RFC 9331) for addressing Internet congestion issues, specifically, buffers on networking devices. It appears to be a congestion notification mehcanism. Presumably it is superior to the queuing algorithms implemented on routers. My OpenWRT router, for example, offers a choice of queuing algorithm. zdnet.com/home-and-office/netw… #networking #NetworkCongestion #standards
Linux really needs to remove the “privileged ports” security theater bullshit.
We’re no longer living in the mainframe era. The security properties of the Internet are different to mainframes. This is actually an anti-feature that either complicates life or actually compromises security (when folks run servers as root and forget to drop privileges , etc.).
If anyone has any sway within the kernel team, etc., please do your thing.
Summary Currently, we’re using setcap to grant the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE privilege to allow Node.js (during development and testing) and the Site.js binary...
