I had the same issue and resolved it on Pop! OS with this patched nautilus from a PPA.

Works great for me!

Regarding the IPs behind Cloudflare, when you send a DMCA notice to Cloudflare via email (meaning you don't need an account), Cloudflare will forward the notice to the host of the website, who will then take appropriate action. Cloudflare will usually also notify you about the origin IP of the website so you can further enforce your rights directly at the company which hosts the website.

Also Speedtest.net for me is showing a 503 error page. Seems a large CDN might be having problems. Their status page shows all green. FB and their other sites are also down.

edit: I see it's back up and I've been getting downvoted, here's a screenshot of the error for clarity

I personally use this project to proxy IP camera RTSP stream via Web Sockets as fragmented MP4 - https://github.com/deepch/RTSPtoWSMP4f

I'm not affiliated with the project, it's just really performant and reliable.

Yes, there is a sticker on the device box that says so. In my case it was 15 minutes of talk time with EU SIM card being required.

It was Hitachi (HGST). Now part of Western Digital.

Too much complexity without any benefit (when adjusted for new failure cases and cost of additional components and complexity).

Electronics is mostly KISS, not only motivated by the financial factor but also reliability, manufacturing, etc.

So far micro controllers are too expensive, too sensitive to unstable power supply, too complex in general (requiring some support components in some cases, have an additional prefabrication step for flashing firmware by the chip vendor, and cost a lot more.

There is no clear advantage to the approach you mentioned.

I had noticed this too but assumed it's part of cost cutting projects inside Google - like how they increased the number of unskippable YouTube ads from usually 0-1 to minimum 2 often 4 in a row, at every 5-10 minutes, or how they removed free photo storage in a time when disk pricing is at it's lowest point, or how the subjective quality of experience with their services has degraded to unimaginable lows (i.e. Google Drive, which is so buggy it's not even funny, often failing to fetch files with hundreds of failed API requests and taking a few minutes to "process" downloading a file - often failing with 40x errors).

It may just be a part of the strategy to lower costs after achieving domination in most markets.

Isn't Cloudflare's limit 512 MB? (except for enterprise plan which has no price defined where it's 5GB)

This is classic ISP behavior. Doesn't matter if the medium is a radio link from satellites in space or a coaxial cable or optical fiber cable on the ground - ISPs gonna do what ISPs gonna do - try in any way to block competition.

That's her "thing", she is an eccentric artist who likes to push boundaries of her own body, mind, but also of the public's taste, and the opinions of people on what constitutes art and what is beautiful, disgraceful, shocking.

You like her, hate her or are indifferent to her, she does a thing in any case.

Same story. We have some weird behavior with Microsoft services but rarely and don't suffer from lack of resources and instability due to inflexible self hosted infrastructure.

It asks me the same even without adblock or tracker-blocker, because my IP address changes often. An annoying nightmare really when you "need" something from a Discord chat quickly. I stopped using it, insist on people emailing me or chatting on Telegram.

Yes, it is required by Google for Android TV devices.

It is absolutely not straightforward and you are arguing a black-or-white fallacy.

As was discussed ad nauseum on HN before, in threads about "smart" vs "dumb" TVs, telling consumers to "not buy smart devices" is putting an disproportionate burden on them, given the market conditions as well as the actual consumer expectations and desires.

As ads are not required for the functioning of smart devices, compared to for example, electricity being required for a TV to work, or an internet connection being required for movie streaming to work, it is fallacious to suggest that consumers must avoid such smart devices to avoid unwanted behavior being forced upon them at a later date.

That doesn't make sense as this was added additionally, so when people purchased their devices the ads were not present.

To quote one review verbatim:

> I purchased two premium-priced Nvidia Shield TV's and loved them until yesterday. That was the day Google began forcing huge dominating ads on the home screen. These ads are for content in services that I haven't eve subscribed to or installed, they're totally irrelevant and obnoxious, and there is no way to disable them. It's offensive to force ads like this in a premium-priced product well after the return window is over. It's a bait-and-switch and I can only hope they realize this and make it right with the users.

Yes.

It can go worse - some cheap and badly designed Android phones which download updates from every month when you first buy it until the current month, so maybe 10+ updates, but they aren't deltas (diffs) but full images. Ridiculous on so many levels.

This is yet another reason why CGNAT (Carrier grade NAT) is cancer on the internet and needs to die.

If they managed to get the middle mile congested with 10 Mbps customers I will give them the "A$$hole of the millennium" award right here right now.

With DSL, it is trivial to see which speed is assigned to you and which speed is the maximum possible on your line. If your measured speed is lower than your "Actual bitrate" as shown by the modem, something must've gone terribly wrong. If however your plan speed ("on paper") is much higher than what is attainable by the modem, that is a fact of physics and you have to downgrade the plan. You cannot oversell DSL, if it says attainable rate is 10240/1024 Kbps, you cannot sell 15360/1536. The modem will literally be unable to connect at that speed.

I'm sorry, what?! xDSL does not have splitters, except the only one in your household that splits the POTS frequencies for the phone and the rest is passed off to the modem. And of course your physical twisted pair wire goes from your modem to the port on the DSLAM in the central office. This is not like cable or xPON, the last mile twisted pair is yours alone.

This post sounds so much like my situation, but just offset by 2 decades. After suffering with LTE, xDSL, I bought myself an uplink connection in the city and put an antenna on a building there that sends me 100 Mbps wirelessly to an antenna on my house.

My situation isn't that bad as 'Mad Ned' had experienced, as most people have 8 Mbps ADSL2+, but it cuts out during rain because underground cables get wet at the points they were cut and rewired back together, and it causes bad connections.

Meanwhile my connection handles rain and snow without problems, and ping is 1ms from my house to the router on the other side. The rest is out of my hands and handled by the uplink provider, but it is usually around 10ms in total.

Ironically after me putting up my antenna here, because LTE was oversubscribed to the point of falling down to 1-2 Mbps every evening and 100ms+ ping, the carrier put a whole base station on the roof of the same building that I have my PtP link antenna on. As expected, it did not improve the situation as the base station is very short range and cannot be reached from my village.

I hope you do know that most consumers don't even have their own router, let alone anything that can isolate devices or block certain traffic.

Yes but that is unrelated to net neutrality.

NN doesn't prevent a carrier from offering a plan with Unlimited* data where the asterisk means "up to 25GB at maximum speed, lowered to 128/64 Kbps after exceeding the limit, until the end of billing period".

It would prevent the carrier from not counting certain traffic in the data usage or not limiting the speed of some traffic after the data limit is reached.

It works for me.

Are you sure it's not just your corporate firewall blocking the whole tld? I've seen it done, since .ws domains are cheap and rarely seen, it's usually a phishing page. And so some IT departments block it.

Offtopic to OP but regarding Linus Tech Tips:

I also stopped watching 90% of all LMG (his company) videos (on all their channels) because of the clickbait forcing me to click onto things that I am not interested in, only to quickly leave the video. I am not going to watch what I don't want to watch whether it has a clickbait thumbnail and title or not, so they just annoy me more with this. I have not voiced my opinion for two reasons: 1) it's a really common opinion, Linus is aware of it and this style is obviously good for business since they kept it, 2) fear of intense backlash from the fan community.

So yeah, got that off my chest.

Yes, I said that, and that would mean "The fact that Germany has bad internet is completely unrelated to the manufacturers of equipment that German telcos use."

OP said: > > No one would hesitate to use German communication infrastructure > Maybe they would hesitate to use it because it's embarrassingly bad.

My intention was to note that the fact that German communication infrastructure is bad is not related at all to the manufacturer of ICT equipment, in the context of the quality of German (and European - in general) telco equipment manufacturers.

If Germany has bad infrastructure, and uses XYZ European ICT equipment manufacturer, this cannot be extrapolated to mean that XYZ is bad at making ICT equipment. The same applies to Huawei. The fact that some countries have good or bad infrastructure is not related to what equipment they use (at this point in time).

The end result being that quality of telco infrastructure is not an argument for or against any particular maker of equipment, because those two things are unrelated.

Any to underline why they are unrelated - simply because ISPs are profit-driven businesses and not tech playgrounds, so they will not invest in the latest and greatest equipment that XYZ/Huawei has to offer, instead they will milk the existing equipment and infrastructure dry and then switch to the cheapest new next-gen-access "thing" that exists for the next 20+ years. This does not mean that XYZ/Huawei doesn't have anything better to offer, it just means that the telcos do not want it.
