Most ISPs that do use CGNAT also offer ipv6 in Australia at least. The problem is that there is always that one client network that only supports ipv4 so you end up needing to support dual stack one way or another. Most of these ISPs also support CGNAT opt out for free at least, but I suspect that will go away in the medium term (and maybe that will encourage more universal ipv6 rollout).
It’s probably a TOS violation but you can combine it with pinchflat to strip ads and sponsored content from YouTube. It’s not a general YouTube app though, rather you use it to preserve channels you’re interested in.
You can also use Jellyfin to serve legally purchased music from bandcamp etc, or movies and TV shows ripped from Blurays and DVDs.
I think you need Bazzite in your life (or some other immutable distro). But hey, fucking things up and recovering from it is how I learned both Windows and then Linux so there are upsides.
Many would be self-hosting behind a VPN so are less affected by public DNS issues.
I’ve used both Headscale and a while ago, Netbird. Some of this will be in comparison to raw Wireguard, which I’m also using.
I’m currently using Headscale, but it does have some annoyances. There were breaking changes fairly often for a while, although it looks to have mostly stabilised now. Tailscale itself is pretty invasive with its routing rules and DNS which can break things or cause unexpected behaviour, which doesn’t occur with raw Wireguard which is more predictable once you understand it. The Tailscale android client has been somewhat unreliable and clunky, although getting better, although third party Android clients for Wireguard, in turn, have also improved Wireguard usage dramatically. On the other hand, Headscale (or Netbird) are pretty much necessary if you are on a CG-NAT and need ipv4 access, and more usable if you want to build a mesh network.
I can’t remember if I tested the service Netbird or the self-hosted version (I think both) but the main thing I remember is that it had poor support for ipv6, which I consider mandatory. Otherwise, the Android client seemed solid and it felt well-designed overall. And maybe the ipv6 support is better now.
since people saying to do first a firmware update.
I’d probably test it out first as it may already have newer firmware, and it gives you a baseline if anything gets better (or worse) after the update. I’ll add that Plasma 6 had the best support last time I checked, so test that if you have issues.
And on Amazon; don’t think it’s widely available anywhere else, unfortunately.
Ignore any commentary about Windows support, because unless something has changed recently, it has poor support on Windows and is missing most features. I have heard mixed things about whether it only supports Freesync on Linux rather than Freesync or VRR. Since my TV supports both and there doesn’t appear to be a way to reliably differentiate between the two, I can’t confirm either way.
I have one working from cablematters. It’s slightly finicky (maybe driver issues) but supports HDR, vrr, and 4k@120hz.
This sort of setup is a bit more advanced since it requires static routes on the remote router at least. Doable with one or two networks, but not if you have a bunch of users.
