I don't think this is new, but I just saw an article about it again, so figured I'd post.

https://gizmodo.com/researchers-issue-warning-about-tech-that-could-turn-every-router-into-a-potential-means-for-surveillance-2000763181

From the article:

"In a study, the researchers describe using beamforming feedback information (BFI) and machine learning models to identify people walking within a network’s range. The team found that this BFI-based technique was able to infer a person’s identity with 99.5% accuracy."

"...this feedback is unencrypted and can be accessed without the need of specialized hardware or even a direct connection to the WiFi network."

When home WiFi started to become popular I couldn't wait to get rid of the cables. But everything old becomes new again and here I am running cables to any room that needs access.

I haven't kept up with home networking best practices. Is IPv6 common on DIY home networks nowadays or does everyone still stick with v4? Admittedly, I'm not too familiar with the ins and outs or its pitfalls.

Are there downsides to v4-only networks?

fun fact:

do not use powerline. especially not as backhaul. no, not even the 802.3af "gigabit" version.

i am getting 30 Mbps to my WAP.

Current network:
DSL (FTTC) -> ISP Router (Vodafone) -> USG -> LAN

Fibre networking options:
ONT -> Fritz!Box -> USG -> LAN
or
ONT -> Fritz!Box -> LAN
or
Some other setup?

Where the LAN has one subnet, runs on Netgear switches and a Unifi AP-Lite. Having played a little with Fritz!Box it’s quite possible I could get rid of the Unifi bits altogether as its WiFi seems good enough.

With some help from @rosenclosed (who did all the work) we now have an immich.app server running in our house net. It's pretty awesome. Since the old laptop I purchased to act as the host server isn't very strong, we bolstered the facial detection by spinning up a docker on my desktop during the bulk import. Now everything is running fairly smoothly on the laptop.

You know, I let thoughts bounce around my head for as long as they want. Sure, it sounds like a ping-pong ball in an empty coffee can, but now and then a bit of brilliance pops up.

So, this thought is about smart appliances, specifically smart washer and dryer. For the longest time I've been against these, I mean why do you need your washer and/or dryer on the internet?
While I'll still agree with it shouldn't be on the internet, I realized that these being smart actually makes sense. I live in a 1500 sq ft split level house, so its about 45 ft from one end of the house to the other. The washer is in the basement at the south end of the house, and the bedroom I'm usually in is in the upper floor at the north end. As you can imagine, I can't hear the washer or dryer end cycle alerts, all I can do is go down and see if'n they're done. Not a big deal, just a nuisance… Unless I were impaired.
For me having an alert show up on my phone when the cycle is done is a nice luxury, but if'n you're impaired, and find it hard to go up and down the stairs? Yeah, that'd be a god send, no? And the crazy thing is internet isn't needed for that, just an app on your phone, a little bit of intelligence in the appliance, and both being on the same network.

Yeah, I could live with that, frankly I don't mind a smart home, so long as the network goes no further than my house, whether some manner of home hub, or just individual apps that can connect so long as they're on the same network.
