@Level1Techs also many #CPE|s from #ISPs have #Backdoors like #TR069 that can do much more than remote-configure the #Modem part...

- Which is why I'd only use any CPEs as "Bridge Modem" and put my own #Router behind that.

That being said, it's not #TPlink's fault they don't run vanilla #OpenWRT, because the @EUCommission went full #Cyberfascist in terms of #RadioSpectrum and mandates manufacturers to lock down & geolock their transcievers & device firmware to comply with #CEPT & #ETSI norms.

Spain’s Net blocks have a flimsy legal basis, and lack both oversight and accountability

A few weeks ago, Walled Culture wrote about Hadopi, France’s infamous copyright enforcement mechanism. The so-called “graduated response” – aka “three strikes and you are out” – has been around for over 15 years now, has cost French taxpayers a fortune, and has never achieved any of its aims. As the Walled Culture post suggested, the latest court ruling might finally put the […]

🚀 Ah, the noble quest to secure the Internet's mailman! 🌍 #BGP is still as safe as letting toddlers handle your bank transactions. But fear not, because #ISPs will definitely implement #RPKI and save the day...right after they solve world peace and cure aging. 😂

Is BGP safe yet? · Cloudflare

On the Internet, network devices exchange routes via a protocol called BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). Unfortunately, issues with BGP have led to malicious actors being able to hijack and misconfigure devices leading to security problems which have the potential to cause widespread problems. BGP security can be greatly improved by using technologies such as RPKI to sign Internet routes. This page attempts to track the progress of major Internet players (ISPs, transit operators, and content providers) in their progress to adopt RPKI and other technologies.

In 2025, we launched the original #LibreQoS #Bufferbloat #Speedtest to give users and #ISPs a clearer way to measure #latency under load, not just raw #bandwidth.

Now, we are releasing Bufferbloat Test v2.0: https://libreqos.io/2026/03/23/libreqos-bufferbloat-test-v2/

@Slash909uk @phlash Oh! I had forgotten I had these online. These are from when we built Genie Internet for Cellnet - Originally on the Telex floor (where Wireplay was), and then we had to move it up to the 5th or 6th onto my office floor, where the corporate networks hung out. This was the install record, sadly taken on a 1999 digital camera, sorry! I had a skim, there's nothing in there that would be considered classified these days.

https://lorry.org/Genie/

The Celnet Genie service, which we designed as an "ISP in a box", was pretty amazing, really, especially for an essentially free ISP.

Also, it's one of those odd jobs where you end up as both lead applications architect, systems manager, server builder, removal dude, and underfloor cable rat and crimper in the same project. I feel jobs like that in big corporations tend not to exist any more.
