Deny access to contacts and push notifications, use DNS based ad blocker should take care of those problems.

Are people actually typing thought provoking, in-depth analysis into Twitter?

I think it depends how good you need the translation to be.

I’d say current automation is ‘good enough’ for most cases, but you wouldn’t rely on it for translating a contract and it would probably still miss a lot of slang and local dialects.

Yes, I got hooked on /r/all and I ended up adding reddit to my nextdns ban list to force a total break.

Haven't missed it, it was a real time sink with very little positive return.

Reddit is down 3 years ago

Neither HN or Reddit use Cloudflare, but I’m having problems with both too.

Wonder if there's a bigger routing issue or possible DDOS attempts against both sites?

Thanks, I've actually looked at that in the past, but I'm not sure what their throughput is, and I'd have to configure each device individually as the router I have can't be configured for it.

I think I've still got my HE IPv6 t-shirt somewhere, from when I completed their readiness quiz so years ago!

Edit: I actually decided to set up a tunnel, just to see how well it worked, and it turns out my ISP supplied router won't forward the protocol 41 packets anyway, so that's a total no-go.

I suppose I could probably set up a small VPS and Wireguard vpn, then forward the IPv6 packets that way?

I'd love to embrace ipv6, but my ISP's official line, for as long as I can remember, is 'planning it, details to come'.

I don't expect them to move forward on it until significant sites become ipv6 only as they've admitted that they have more than enough ipv4 addresses for their subscriber base, so there's very little incentive for them to do anything atm.

According to the ticket I got, the VPSes are going up 20% but the backup price isn't changing, so your new bill will be around $696/mo, an increase of $1,152/yr.

The main alternatives in the budget cloud space are Digital Ocean, Vultr, OvH etc - they're all similarly priced for the equivalent servers, but I wouldn't be surprised if they all start increasing their prices to match - DO especially as they recently laid off a load of employees.
