OP network design is silly and probably unjustified. No wonder he's having problems.

Setting rp_filter=1 is very standard for linux routers and almost all distros set it by default. Both Debian and Red Hat set it by default. I am not sure if OP accidentally disabled this or if he is using some silly distro.

This is preventing ARP flux, which is a different issue

> using the pf syntax and reloading the entire file will avoid reloading if there is a syntax error in a rule (iptables would run as a bash script and have unpredictable results)

False. iptables-save and iptables-restore does exactly that.

> - the syntax is fairly similar, but less ugly, similar to tcpdump

Also false and especially false and ignorant given the syntax complexity and non-friendliness has been a major complaint of the userbase since NFT's inception. But this isn't a suprise: nft syntax was purposefully designed to be better for computers at the expense of humans. It just happens to be that it's more difficult to write rules for humans, but easier for the interpreter and tools to work with them.

> This experience is much better than the traditional iptables approach, where the 'load from file' and 'save to file' operations have the feel of a hack rather than a designed format and it can be easier to automate your rule setup with a script.

I found that statement to be weird given the existence of iptables-save and iptables-restore.

Anyway.

I manage a large fleet of OpenWRT devices with some crazy iptables stuff.

I have played with NFT multiple times over the last decade. It's never gone well. Like systemd and wayland it's being over-hyped by influenced teenagers that don't know what they are talking about and distro-paid bloggers.

NFT has a lot of problems and there's still a few things that it can't do, mostly because of missing modules.

I hope some day NFT becomes a good proper successor to iptables, but unfortunately the transition has been really slow, drawn out, and it's being pushed as a solid solution when it's just not ready.

Sadly WinMTR does not work properly anymore and is long abandoned.

The best alternative is a commercial product called PingPlotterPro. You can use it for free during a trial period.

Networking people generally don't use Windows much for troubleshooting. Windows networking behavior causes all kinds of problems and nobody wants to deal with that shit.

This is my exact experience with freight forwarders, except it was 100% scams. Now I google first and just won't ship to them at all.

eBay needs to get sued over this. They are taking part in the scam, knowingly, and profiting from it.

The NEWS media has nobody but themselves to blame. My most recent favorite thing to despise is how often they use "blast" and "slam" and other hyperbolic wordage in headlines.

I've run linux on a Sparcstation 10, a Pentium Pro 200MHz, tiny ARM OpenWRT systems, and two top-500 super computer clusters. I've run it on my 2008 Macbook Pro and my Raspberry Pi. Even my stupid Android phone runs linux. My tablet is linux. My thermostat is linux.

I've been using linux for over 20 years now and can confirm that linux sucks.

Hopefully my casket will run linux so I can bitch about it when I'm dead.

An emotional need to cancel out complaints is classic toxic positivity.

It should be noted that anyone who is complaining is probably a regular user of the application, and as such has decided that they over-all like the application enough to use it.

People would be wise to look into the incredible amount of criticism thrown at K-9 in the last two years over the recent UI design changes.

I personally see this as a way for cketti to get acqui-hired and maybe get away from K-9 Mail. The amount of hate directed towards him from the userbase (mostly justified, sorry to say) has been substantial and I can't imagine he really wants to continue dealing with that.

Hopefully Thunderbird will do another UI redesign and fix the mess that was made. I ditched K-9 after the new design came out two years ago.

I think you proved SkeuomorphicBee's point. You are oblivious to the fact that you got f-ed over. You are talking past the argument thinking people won't notice that your feel good blog post is about how you think you won, but actually got screwed and are oh-so happy about it.

Bizarre.

> Far too many people are scared of arbitration

That's a mischaracterization about the problem with arbitration. People are not scared of it. People are not afraid. It's shameful that you use language like this accuse the people of being afraid and scared. You can't claim to be an attorney and then say you didn't understand the meaning behind the words you chose to use.

Consumer arbitration is corruption. People correctly understand that when one side is paying money to the judge, that the system is corrupt. It's about buying the judge, the court room, and the whole system.

The problems with consumer arbitration are well documented. Being scared is not one of those problems. People are angry.

lol is this intentional parody or unintentional parody, I just can't tell.

I'm not quite old enough to remember Black Monday, but I remember all the rest. I have the exact same feeling. The 20% correction is already done.

When I saw that CryptoLand video last year I immediately through of the E-Trade monkey superbowl commercial.

However, there is still risk that could make this current situation last longer and be more painful than I think we anticipate. If corporations start laying off workers and/or if the general public gets spooked enough to stop spending, that could actually induce a deeper recession than I think you and I are currently expecting.

No doubt there is some short-term negative news coming out this summer. The question is what the sentiment will be like come early fall. I think that's when we will know how bad this is going to be. It might be over by then. Hopefully.

Josip is being hyperbolic. This does not brick or change his devices.

I am going to defend Prolific here and say they are probably doing the right thing. I use FTDI, Prolific, and other similar serial adapters on a daily basis and Chinese ripoffs are a problem. I want to know right away if the device I bought is a fake.

The people selling the devices, usually Chinese vendors on Aliexpress or Amazon, DON'T CARE that they are selling fakes, and probably even know they are selling fakes.

The only way Prolific can get these guys to stop is to get the end-user pissed off enough to do returns and leave negative reviews. Aliexpress sure isn't going to take their listings down, and Amazon has proven they don't care either (actually they demand bribes to take fake merch down).

Josip's anger is misdirected. He bought a cheap fake chip, knows it, and wants his free ride.

Oh neat I'll check it.... LOL $170 F that.

I still can't figure out WTF it It. Lotta hipster hype and brogrammer-speak.

Okay it's a little pwnigotchi or whatever that thing was called, except expensive. You can get little SDR kits that can do 90% of what this thing does for $50.

Looks polished, but way overpriced.

I have used K-9 Mail for years, but I'm very unhappy with the UI changes in version 5.6 and later.

It's not just they moved things around and I'm sore about that. Real usability has gone down. The app used to be very good with one hand, but the new design main menu is in the upper-left corner of the screen, which is just dumb. Visual clutter has been added to make things pretty.

I would have complained about notification, but it looks like they might be fixing some of those issues with this new patch.

Basically it seems like the new developer just wanted to pad his resume, so he picked up a project that was otherwise abandoned and started re-designing and re-implementing things so he could brag about it. The changes don't really fix any problem that anyone had, and improvements are none since the new releases are mostly about removing features and re-writing code.

I really need to start looking for a new mail app, because I have no hope in the future of K-9 Mail.

No RSS feeds for any of their pages. Really sad.

And no email. They want you to twitter at them. Lol, kids.

The author is a dev who publishes multiple high-end storage applications. I'm not sure why you though questioning his judgement over something so basic would be a good idea.

The article makes it pretty clear that they think this is a hardware problem.

Did you just call for a Joint Strike Fighter/F-35 of data bus standards?

Putting "Not yet, but coming soon:" under the "What works" heading instead of the "What doesn’t" is dishonest.

I am disappointed there is no discussion of the morality of the research and article.

This seems like a morally bankrupt justification for corporate totalitarianism. The goal of the article isn't to help solve customer problems, it's to reduce costs and maximize profits in any way legally possible.

Twitter has plenty of "moral outrage" spam and complaints that really are not customer service issues, and I am sympathetic to not engaging in that kind of advocacy and those kinds of complaints, but often customers have real issues that "customer dis-service" often fails to remediate, and if there's no other option but "alternative means", then those means are justified in the name of producing consumer benefit.

Fascism isn't politics, it's violence, and gab is a violent platform that supports and encourages as much violence as plausible deniability let's them get away with.

If you travel and need a white noise generator, check out Chroma Doze. It's awesome.

Slightly hyperbolic in saying it's "usable in practice", but only slightly, and everything you said is true per my own experience. That just makes these issues super annoying. Normal people won't put up with it, and they shouldn't have to. Hacker types might be motivated to continue using F-Droid, but power users and others probably won't.

The paid Lenovo shills DO NOT want you to watch this video. =)

It tells you what Refinement is right there in the article that you didn't bother to read.

Lenovo pays influencers to post dribble like this. It's an ad.

I watched the whooooooooooooooooooole video

I've not felt like this since 1999 when I did a party with co-workers at the T1 ISP I worked for at the time. The E-Trade monkey commercial came on and we laughed. We were already reviving large number of T1/T3/Sonet disconnect orders and it was obvious the end was coming soon.

I don't know when crypto will pop. I don't think we've hit max stupid yet.
