Agree, Google made it really easy here, compared to using service account certificates like with some of their other APIs.

A German ISP also has an IP6 issue and confirmed it over the phone but is not fixing it. It persists for years and can be observed on multiple households I checked.

Most don't notice it, as refreshing the address or happyeyeballs works around it.

It's seriously infuriating receiving these "Critical vulnerability reports" customers let other agencies do, and having to justify why you have no Referer-Policy header.

Nice to read that you are reasonable.

Also, they want a strict CSP while serving 10 different ad networks :)

Some people also do run Tor exit nodes on their ISP connections, of course receiving tons of abuse complaints, but apparently it's legal enough.

So people may be willing to do it for strangers in exchange for paying the bills.

I installed them Mint and they said it's better than Windows due to all the built-in free apps (like public TV)

Afaik wasm cannot open network sockets.

The segfault is unfortunate though

You can write a network device driver, which exports the network packages into JavaScript. The author already wrote a console device. So, not much of a deal.

Doable for http and https, but if you're running it in a browser environment, you'll eventually run into issues with CORS and other protocols. To get around this you need a proxy server running elsewhere that exposes the lower layers of the network stack.

This is exactly what [0] does. Try it out. If you know the IP you can even log in to another open browser window via telnet.

Aha! Now I see I'm talking to the expert on the topic ;) Thanks for the link. I'll check this out.

They allow netbooting to a recovery OS from which the disks can be provisioned via an ssh session too, for custom setups. Likely there are cases that require the remote "keyboard", but I wanted to mention that.

True, a huge number of games work great with those.

Games requiring anti-cheat however are a big issue that still require a dual boot Windows or VM.

Likely also the in-built Firefox privacy blocking.

They are in fact public/private keys and use signing a challenge for authentication.

But in practice they usually rely on attestation by an approved vendor, and the vendor won't let you control your private key, so they'll leverage it for lock-in.
