Thought: has anyone managed to reprogram cheap commodity Christmas light controllers to remove the epillepsy-inducing strobe light flashing modes entirely?

Also, remember the last used setting on power restore.

Gentle fades and constant to remain available.

Then how do we introduce that in as a supply-chain attack to prevent such nastiness getting to market?

spent much of the morning debugging why so much stuff on my home network wasn't working. Turns out that somehow a TR069 update from ISP had decided without warning to renumber a LAN subnet from :: to :1: whilst my overall /48 prefix remained the same.

Moral of the story: Disable TR069. There's no need for your ISP to poke around with your router config unless you REALLY trust them. Possibly for first config is could be handy. Make sure it's still disabled on every router update.

and twitter, ebay, and @BBCRD BBC but then I don't use Twitter any more.

Oh, and the Microsoft Teams seems to get stuck on 'Loading latest updates... in the meantime, you can still send and respond to messages'

Skype still needs IPv4, despite no longer being a peer-to-peer protocol. I don't use Skype regularly these days.

Aside from that, I can do my general day job without IPv4.

Time for my regular experiment of seeing how much of my work still needs IPv4. So far I've had IPv4 disabled on my desktop for 4 hours and not noticed anything but duckduckgo and github broken. #NoNATNovember #ipv6only #ipv6
