  • At least you can talk to someone at your ISP who can change things, in 10 years I was literally never been able to contact someone who knows anything about networks in any of the 3 big ISPs here… all I get is this:

    “oh you have speed issue? Let me “refresh” your connection”

    “No sir i have no speed issues, I just need to be able to open IPv6 ports”

    “Oh trying to changing the cable port?”

    “Sigh… can you transfer me to advanced support plz”

    “Sure thing”

    Advanced support: “So you having speed issues?”

    “No i just need to be able to open IPv6 ports”

    “Ah ports, you can do that from your router settings i think”

    “No sir, you are the only ISP here where I can’t open ports or receive any ICMP on my ipv6”

    “Let me see… i’ll refresh your connections”

    And it’s the same of many different issues, you can’t get a hold of anyone who can change anything in any layer about any config. Take it or leave it…








  • Wouldn’t that be super complicated in linux? On windows they had huge probelms with frame timings and vsync and only later got fixed… that was on windows which has single DE and single display server model/protocol. On linux i feel that would be a total mess between wayland and xorg and different DEs. Especially considering the DE controls much of the frames timings, vrr and vsync in wayland. Hell even gnome still can’t get basic vrr frames to display in correct order.
