I believe the privacy concerns are made moot if all consumer level routers by default blocked incoming untracked connections and you need to poke holes in the firewall for the ports you need.

Having said that, even knowing the prefix it's a huge address space to port scan through. So it's pretty secure too with privacy extensions enabled.

But for sure the onus is on the router makers for now.

I used HE for ages until my isp gave native ipv6. I also used sixxs back then too. Both provided good connectivity for the few sites that were around using it at the time.

This is my biggest bugbear about a lot of UK isps. They are dynamically allocating ipv6 prefixes for absolutely no good reason.

I've only ever done ipv6 using Linux directly as a firewall or a mikrotik router. So cannot help with pfsense I'm afraid.

You start by adding ipv6 and serving both. One side needs to move first. Content providers or isps.

The big tech companies are using ipv6. In the UK the isps are mostly offering it too.

Host both and help us move towards dropping Ipv4 some day. It's not going to happen in a day.

Don't be so sure. Piers Morgan will do whatever he thinks makes "good television" and especially good sound-bites that can have his ugly mug displayed ad-nauseam.

He saw a weakness and exploited it. I doubt he's "chosen a side" at all.

The OneUI update? You can undo most of the annoyingness. But the overall look change is downright annoying I'd agree.

Whenever anyone asks if I use AI. My answer is that, so far it hasn't ever delivered working code. However the majority of times I used it, the code it did provide sent me in the right direction.

So it's not useless. And I know tools have gotten better. But when I see companies seriously talking "AI first" and wanting vibe coding to be a main development strategy. I do really worry.

When I was at school we had rulers that had both inches and centimetres on. 1-12" and 1-30cm. Now they didn't perfectly line up. But as a good rule of thumb, 6" = 15cm and 12" = 30cm.

It worked best with alarm clocks because the outline of the clock was likely 100% only picked up by rods, but the display is visible clearly by the cones. So if you picked it up and moved it, the display would seem to move independently of the case it was part of.

I think the second link does suggest the difference between response times varies between people. So, maybe it's just more noticeable by some?

Death panels are fine, provided the reason is pure profit. Apparently.

I think the effect produced by the strobing due to DC rectification is markedly different. That produced a gapping when moved (since the LED is off during some parts of the movement and on for others). The effect when there's a somewhat brighter light source around a darkened room is very different where the lighter source seems to move independently of the object it is attached to, with no stuttering/strobe effect present.

The independent movement effect is much more likely due to response time differences. I thought I'd take a look and see. This https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-34073-8 article by nature does mention there is a response time difference. However the vast majority of the paper seems to be about the effects on cone response time due to lack of calcium and other cone specific testing.

This https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2063471/ article seems to imply that there's a 20ms lag for rod reaction time. Where they tested people's reactions to both kinds of stimuli and measured the response times.
