As someone on the fighting end of scrapers, this is absolutely not true. If anything I should bais towards v6 as the traffic is on par better than v4

Is BGP safe yet? 4 months ago

Because SCION is mostly said as a joke in the more serious carrier world.

SCION is practically speaking proprietary, and has 1 and maybe a half implementations. I have a laundry list of real problems with SCION but SCION feels like one of those entities that would get quite legal-ey if discussed publicly.

For inbound traffic, they're completely fine. This is only looking at the route servers. You can almost certainly receive 50/50 traffic ratios if you do bilateral peering. This post only covers the " automatic peering " services that IXs offer

I can't speak for the OPs case, but it's worth keeping in mind that not all languages that people are coming from have capital letters as a concept.

I actually didn't notice the lack of caps until I read this comment

About 58% of all of the email my company sends out of it's outbound relays is to IPv6 MXs. I've never really had to deal with discoverability issues related to v6

I think in the last 12 months of using that unlock list I've only counted less than five times where sites have broken with that list enabled, I don't have to even disable the entire list. You just disable u-block for that specific site

I believe it heavily depends on what kind of infrastructure you are using with them.

If you are on their old legacy network (aka, you have a RJ45 Ethernet jack into your house) you will likely going to have more issues than if you are on their (X)GPON network.

I had IPv6 working for a while on mine, but realize that for some insane reason that there was basically only one v6 prefix across my entire distribution switch (basically the switch shared with a few 100 other properties). so anytime that i was going to get a v6 i was effectively stealing it from another flat/house.

unfortunately trying to get in touch with anyone from Hyper-optic is really tricky, so I just gave up

they have since upgraded some of the infrastructure in the path, mostly moving away from Huawei to Nokia, but I am not entirely sure that has improved the situation.

100Mbit seems fine? I obviously don't have the full picture for what the OP is doing with their line on a day-to-day basis, but, saying that you're entirely out of options when there is an option that is just slower is a little odd

(I do get that Starlink is also quite expensive if it is not your only serious choice)

Sure but to my knowledge you can call someone an asshole in the UK without being at risk of libel but calling someone a [pedophile/drug addict/similar] is (and IMO should) come with consequences if unsubstantiated

but ended up not being convincing enough not to cost them 70k pounds

It might end up being more than 70k£ for them, given MG's legal fees may not be included in that price (I can't see any indication either way)

Is it though?

If someone posts a huge amount of articles about how you are various non-good things, then a employer might do a simple Google of your name on and think "Oh, actually, I don't think I want to hire that guy" that's worth quite a lot of money if that's a job that you actually wanted to get (and that results in a loss of income/opportunities)

Typically speaking, you should probably only be saying things on the internet or otherwise that you have serious evidence for. One, to avoid looking like a complete idiot in case you're wrong or in a more serious case to stop you from being sued for libel

It blows my mind how various parts of the wider world are seemingly quite happy to ("joking" or not) call each other pedophiles or various other things in a age where things are aggressively indexed by search engines or (worse) LLMs

Yes but also the drives in the OP have 4~ TB lifetime writes, basically nothing compared to the total capability of the drive, Given these drives can do 2TB+ a day for the entire warranty period a day, I don't think these drives are that bad, the amazon seller shouldn't have claimed they were new, but in terms of the flash wear, these drives look almost as good as new

Claiming that AS60068 is not a "EU" because of "GB" code on their whois is really quite an ignorant way of determining that claim.

With that being said actually depends on what is good enough for you, but it's relatively clear that the DNS resolver IPs that are looking up are based in the czech republic.

As I mentioned in another comment "207 Regent Street" (the address in their whois) is a well known virtual office type address in the UK.

As someone (who himself is admittedly in the UK) who is desperately trying to move more more to European products, this kind of absolutism it's just really exhausting on should really be a shared goal. I will happily use/buy good services from the UK,EU,Swiss,etc etc if they are comparable (even just for my own feature use case) to the US ones.

In the era of relatively complicated company ownership structures (especially in a capital heavy business such as Datacamp), the company on the whois does have the same level of meaning as you seem to expect it to.

207 Regent Street, it's a relatively well known virtual office type address, I would be shocked to learn that there were any datacamp employees at that address)
