I actually thought about that for a minute when I set up my home network a while ago, but that seems to be a pretty hard (or at least inconvenient) problem.

Often I need to access a device from my local network (think: use my phone to control Wi-Fi LED Strips, Sonos speakers, etc.), which makes it impossible (I guess?) to separate these devices into their own network completely (if they aren't controlled by an online service in general). Or is it possible to allow access from my trusted network INTO the restricted network, but not the other way around?

Total network noob here, in case you haven't figured that out yet. :)

Yeah, it seems to be the common consensus to just block everything going in and just make exceptions, where you really want to offer a service to the internet.

Makes total sense, thinking about it. I guess, all those years of just sitting behind a NAT makes one forget all these networking basics if you're not using them regularly.

Moving closed-source IoT devices into a special vlan, with some even more rigid rules (something like: only allow http/https traffic into the internal network) might be an additional level of security.

Thank all of you for your replies!

I am quite happy that all those shady IoT devices cannot be reached from the internet directly when I am using IPv4 and NAT - what would be the best way forward to keep it that way in a IPv6-only future?

The best idea I can come up with (at least right now) is: put all less trustworthy (read: Closed source) devices into a special legacy IPv4 network and only use IPv6 on my workstation and little Raspis?

You're right, updating to less v608 fixed the issue! Thanks a lot! Maybe you can add a check in clx and show a message, in case the version of less is too old?

For the record: less v581.2 is the one being shipped by macOS 12.6 Monterey, I simply updated with "brew install less"

I really like this client, but I get this error every time I open a link or comments:

  There is no lesskey-src=/var/folders/sv/<filename> option ("less --help" for help)
  Press RETURN to continue

Less version information:

I heard that the "is there a pot on"-impulse of induction cooktops is strong enough to kill RFID-chips without burning them. Have not tried it though.

  [Contact] was briefly lost while flying over German airspace. Communication was safely restored within a few minutes.

That sounds like the whole incident didn't take more than 15 minutes. Does somebody know how fast the Typhoons were with the airliner?

I know there are some guidelines for the Luftwaffe like "a fighter needs to be able to get to any point in german airspace within 15 minutes" or so, but that all sounds VERY fast.

Do you have a source for that? A quick search seems to suggest the contrary: https://energytransition.org/2015/06/is-germany-reliant-on-f...

The official test does not require you to go fast, it is more important to do the proper looks when going on/off the Autobahn and overturning other cars on it.

That being said, my instructor told me to "floor it" once in a driving lessons as well, just to see how it feels and how the car behaves.

As a german, I love the name for a sandwich with raw meat and fine chopped onions: "Cannibal Sandwich". Sounds much more badass than "Mettbroetchen".

Exactly my thought. I'd buy it for that use case alone. Also, I like the modern chiclet keyboards.

The service can stay free by monetizing the traffic I am sending to eBay using their affiliate program. Currently I create landing pages for all searched terms and try my limited seo skills to get these into the google index.

Is there any feature at the top of your head that you would like to see in this tool?

Thank you for your comment!

Thank you very much for your feedback! It's hard to find the right balance between functionality and ease of use. I was very usure regarding the category chooser, thanks to your feedback I now feel confident to remove it and just go with the best category hit.

Your idea regarding displaying items even if no real result could be generated seems so obvious, I am a bit ashamed to not think of that. :)

Again, thank you!
