Not sure what kind of Extender it is, but if it can run OpenWRT, you can flash it to that and have more control.

Sounds like you need to enable 802.1r for fast roaming between APs on both access points and then make sure the SSIDs are the same.

Also, you can improve things by splitting your 2.4ghz, 5ghz, and 6ghz (if applicable) onto separate SSIDs, with your phone connected to the 5ghz band. Since it has lower range, it will likely roam better because the signal from one to the other will be more “apparent” to your devices.

If there providing IPv6 to you, port forwarding shouldn’t be necessary most of the time for online gaming.

Are they allowing UPnP upstream?

As a Texan, there is no state income tax here. Texas can’t say shit.

Removed by mod

Actually you can, as long as you own the game and are playing a backup of it.

Pretty sure renting is what townhouses and apartments are for. Single family homes don’t need to be rentals at the rates they are now.

In typical Republican fashion, they apply the rules they like and try to burn down the rules they don’t. After all taxpayer money for corporate America and private, Christian education good, money going to “the poors” bad.

If you’re getting a /64 from your ISP via DHCPv6, you likely need to send a prefix hint. I’d guess /60. Then you’ll have multiple /64s to work with on your inside interfaces.

Who is the ISP?

If you’re allocated DHCPv6-PD with a subnet, you don’t use a relay.

Prefix ID of 0x1 means “Use the first prefix available in the block as a /64 for the LAN”. Essentially your ISP probably gave you a /48, /56, or /60. The firewall is giving prefix IDs to all of the /64s you can fit inside of one of these and allocating them numbers 1 through whatever. Each LAN you have can have its own prefix ID. A /60 has 16 /64 networks that you can subnet it into.

Want to know what I used to pirate, but don’t anymore? Video games. Steam makes tons of money off of me and everybody else and has reasonable DRM with an easy to use store.

Piracy is a delivery problem. Make content easier to get for reasonable prices and you’ll make money. Don’t do that? OK. Piracy it is.

I’m not against AI. I’m against the hoards of privacy-disrespecting data collection, the fact that everybody is irresponsibility rushing to slap AI into everything even when it doesn’t make sense because line go up, and the fact nobody is taking the limitations of things like Large Language Models seriously.

The current AI craze is like the NFTs craze in a lot of ways, but more useful and not going to just disappear. In a year or three the crazed C-level idiots chasing the next magic dragon will settle down, the technology will settle into the places where it’s actually useful, and investors will stop throwing all the cash at any mention of AI with zero skepticism.

It’s not Luddite to be skeptical of the hot new craze. It’s prudent as long as you don’t let yourself slip into regressive thinking.

Who knew pissing off leftist people by being a douchebag when your company sells electric vehicles that are typically championed by said leftists could hurt your sales? So mysterious.

“Nuclear fallout” in modern nukes is isolated to the area they hit. As such, modern nukes aren’t going to irradiate the atmosphere that would lead to a Fallout video-game style world.

What they will do is kill a f*** ton of people and thermally destroy a specific area REALLY hard. If you’re in the blast radius, you won’t even know it. You’ll be dead from the shockwave so fast you’ll have literally less than a second of confusion before you get turned into meat mist.
