 Is there any way to test my packet consistency? I have high download speeds but skype audio is always cutting out
 maybe try an MTR?
 to skype's voip server
 ok weird, all my addresses seem to show up as ipv6 addresses
 interesting
 @RazPi, Lol that's awesome
 well, is there a point along the traceroute where packets keep dropping on the MTR?
 Are you really full stack ipv6? Or translating?
 probably translating
 You can drop ipv6 at pfSense.
 @RazPi - I am heading to bed. Try to be up around 11:30 ish.
 ok I'll set an alarm, feel free to call me
 Do mtr -4 to do a ipv4 mtr.
 ^
 Mtr -6 for ipv6
 i actually didn't know about that
 that's actually a really useful thing for me to know
 Ipv6 is the most horrible standard they could have come up with.
 just because it's hex?
 @AdamOutler, From a privacy perspective?
 If you took every bit of mass in the world and turned it into an iPhone, you could do that 3 more times and still have an IP address for every device..  but no infrastructure :D
 ah yes
 From a lot of perspectives
 subnetting
 I don't expect most folks to really subnet it out
 Security, verbosity, and usability.
 yeah, subnetting that would probably be a nightmare
 A stack of ipv6 addresses is 4 times larger than ipv4.  Nobody remembers an ipv6.  There is no need to subnet so nobody will, there never will be.
 just assign your /64 block and call it a day
 They don't all have to be ugly
 @AdamOutler true, but for the sake of organization, people will subnet it anyway... or NAT it to ipv4
 Hex is bad too
 Why not 1024.1024.1024.1024.1024.1024
 You have to admit -- ::1 is niiiiice
 ..1 would be nicer
 1024?
 65535
 I'm lost
 ffff
 Yeah.  No one should have to calculate hex
 Luckily for most folks - they won't touch it in their lifetime at this rate.
 I didn't mind working with it however
 think I found my issue, it seems to be timed perfectly with my internet drops
 Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=00:23:ee:b7:3c:ec;CMTS-MAC=00:eb:d5:ec:2f:96;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;
 Modem
 Aw nutbunnies.
 I guess I have to buy a new one
 Thanks, this saves me a call to comcast, I'm triggered by the first 30 seconds of their tech support robot now
 x_x
 if it's a comcast modem, you still need to call comcast :-P
 It's a private one actually
 ah
 Anyone recommend a good one that won't hit the pocket too hard?
 no idea
 After swearing off Netgear, I bought a netgear
 your ISP may run with that 'compatible' modem garbage -- may want to check their list
 but any docsis 3.x should be fine imo
 fallback to 3.0 if not, I'm like an addict
 been without decent internet for a week now
 @AdamOutler did suggest a 3.1 version so I'll look out for that
 Orange Pi 3 Allwinner H6 SBC Comes with GbE, USB 3.0, mPCIe … https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/01/19/orange-pi-3-allwinner-h6-sbc/
 @RazPi - on my way
 What is going on today?  Just idly asking.  I'm with family today
 @Ivoriesablaze hey Joel you working today?
 @AdamOutler Not much happening today, probably getting that modem you suggested
 Nope, just waiting to surprise you
 It's a trap!
