  It’s not a lack of bandwidth that typically breaks dialup over VoIP, it’s the jitter.

  The only potentially legitimate use for modems over (Vo)IP are faxes, and the proper way to do that is with T.38.

  The switchover for cellular was 3G (HSPA) > 4G (LTE).

  Data transmission over 3G is encapsulated over the audio channels, and pure LTE is VoIP over data channels. Most networks relied on both during the transition, and it’s the reason many ‘4G’ capable handsets were deprecated when 3G networks were shut down, as they never fully implemented VoIP for audio calls.

  Incidentally, DOCSIS (v1.0 - 3.0) downstream channels are encapsulated within MPEG2 frames.

  Profit from any sector which interfaces with housing should only ever be tolerated when the social housing wait lists are measured in weeks and months, instead of the years and decades they’ve currently ballooned to. Property owners and their enablers should hurt until it’s no longer a problem.

  This country also needs to actively acknowledge that luck and camping equipment are structural, load-bearing elements of this nation’s housing policies, and work to remove them from these roles. Involuntary homelessness and precarious housing should be indefensible outcomes.

  Further, the classification of affordable housing needs to be annihilated. The first 100% of the housing supply should, by definition, be affordable for the function of providing appropriate primary residences. The existence of the concept helps permit the general real estate industry to abdicate what should be its primary function of housing the population, and artificially inflates the legitimacy of perpetual charitable organisations.

  Short-term, seasonal, emergency, premium, etc. housing should only be tenable uses for residential dwellings when the initial 100% demand for primary residences has been met.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The next scandal involving Musk should be called Elongate.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Following the Watergate scandal, ‘-gate’ became the suffix to name subsequent scandals.

  I propose stories associated with Trump, and other stupid scandals, be encrusted with the suffix ‘-a-Lago’.

  I think there’s scope for dedicating an entire community to them, like c/MAG_a_Lago.

  As for Elongate, Musk explicitly requested it be used, which should be reason enough to not.

  For me, it’s an additional, redundant layer 3 route between my dual stack nodes. I’ve had instances where v4 or v6 paths have broken, and I’ve not noticed until my monitoring systems explicitly notify me.

  I’d also like more tools to use MPTCP which would make them more resilient.

  This is a nation of convicts who aspires to become wardens.

  I don’t have an issue with people owning multiple properties, but doing so should be subservient to the provision of a core component of subsistence.

  A broad proposal I’ve been mulling is the realisation of profit anywhere in the real estate industry (construction, (re)development, ownership, management, etc.) should only be tolerated contingent to the size of the social housing wait list.

  As a broad example, if the wait list is over a year, tax any profit above 5% at 50%. The figures are arbitrary, the point is to make it the responsibility of the group to fix the problem they’ve caused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨there's now more ads in "legit" sites (YouTube, amazon) than in piracy sites⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Advertising needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.

  It indiscriminately pollutes whatever environment it’s conducted within, and causes secondary harm to non-participants by incentivising hoarding of PII in the cheapest and least secure manner.
