Random Bluetooth MACs are already possible. iOS devices have been doing it for years alongside the random Wi-Fi MACs.

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 had success getting apple-loving friends to use https://monal-im.org/

https://snikket.org/ are working on a new iOS client too (no release so far).


You might want to check that charger. I have the same option set to ask every time and it never appears for chargers.


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?


> via ND

What is ND? Do you have a link with details?


Neighbour discovery - IPv6 equivalent of ARP


You can go to https://privacy.apple.com, log in with your Apple ID, select "Request to transfer a copy of your data" and then select "iCloud photos and videos to Google Photos".


Because there isn't "empty space" in the IPv4 packet header (or even the pseudoheader format from which TCP or UDP checksums etc are derived) to expand your new bits into. By breaking the packet format, you just invented a new network protocol that all of the routers, firewalls and middleware of the world don't know how to handle.


Yes, it’s true that any change they made would be incompatible with the existing software and routers and such. But nowadays everything can handle IPv6 just fine. All the upgrades and new software came out between 20 and 30 years ago, and is ubiquitous now.

As I understand it, Volvo's relationship with Luminar broke down, not that there was an obvious problem with the technology itself.



Volvo has the tech problems...

https://insideevs.com/news/773202/volvo-ex90-software-issues...

  -- Volvo is upgrading the central computer on all 2025 EX90s for free.
  -- The company has spent over a year trying to squash software bugs in the EX90, but owners are still reporting serious issues and glitches.
  -- One owner told InsideEVs that her EX90 has been a "dumpster fire inside a train wreck."


Are you throwing LIDAR under the bus for one computer upgrade? How many has Tesla done now to try to meet its claim of "all Teslas have the hardware"?

> One owner told InsideEVs that her EX90 has been a "dumpster fire inside a train wreck."

Quite the anecdote, surely Tesla has never had an owner say that!
