No platform is perfect but I'd argue that desktop Linux still has far more many rough edges to contend with when something goes wrong. There are way too many problems for which "well just open the terminal and..." is the only solution.
The Windows equivalent solution is "open the registry editor and...", or worse, there isn't one, because the first person to fix it is going to need some technical competence and 36 hours if they have access to the source code, but if it's open source someone does it and posts the solution on the internet, whereas it would take a thousand hours without the source code, and then it's just an unresolved question on the Microsoft site with several other users saying "did anyone find a solution?" and no one saying yes. Or worse even still, you get a list of 50 wrong solutions none of which actually work because Microsoft doesn't want it fixed and keeps breaking it on purpose every time someone posts a workaround.
Meanwhile when the Linux solution is to open the terminal and type the thing, and you open the terminal and type the thing, it actually fixes the problem.
There is not a single good XMPP client for macOS or iOS either. There are a couple of minimally functional ones that are aesthetically dreadful, but nothing that would come even close to replicating what people would expect even from Signal or WhatsApp, let alone a monster like Discord. Certainly nothing that I could ask friends or family to use.
I have been using the exact same G4201TM devices at home for approaching five years now to do much the same: reuse some unused telephone wiring for a meaningful purpose. They are rock solid and have needed exactly zero attention since being installed.
One advantage with LLMs is that they are often more able to find things that you can roughly explain but don't know the name of. They can be a good take-off point for wider searches.
I was able to find a decade old video via llm with the prompt “YouTube video of a french band on a radio station with a girl wearing orange jumpsuit”. I had tried many google searches without success trying to remember the video but the llm came right out with the correct video of The Dø on KEXP first try. 99 times out of 100 I prefer normal search though.
If you assign a subnet to a host, or allow the host to claim multiple addresses via ND from the link subnet, then you can use as many addresses as you want. You could give every process on your machine its own IPv6 address for example.
Yes, and if your host has access to several IPv6 addresses and maybe an IPv4 address it'd be nice to have something like wireguard actually utilize all of them in some random order. Same on the receiving end, wireguard server listenes both on IPv4 and IPv6 at same time and internally puts received packets in the proper order.
I feel this would create significant struggles for any surveillance software because most firewalls I know are modeled on a source address / target address basis.
If you have access to enough source IPv6 addresses you might even put your whole wireguard traffic into ICMP packet payload?
