Really cool website. Found it while trying to understand the issues with support for wifi6E.
Reading that the "normal power mode" would require sending GPS coordinates to a central database explains the limited support/availability I guess. And the regulations are different per country..
Creating wifi 6E hotspots still seems to be impossible with windows and the available wifi6E hardware.
And sellers seem to take advantage of customers, who mostly don't understand the difference between wifi6 and wifi6E.
Even Meta seems to do it for Quest3. They advertise a dedicated, super fast wifi TP-Link USB-stick which only supports wifi6 and not 6E(which is the whole point of using wifi6 with the Quest3)
As I understand it, the FCC is the sole regulatory agency which requires this weird setup (of pinging and determining stuff just to have a higher power) - other countries, probably understanding how confusing and weird this setup is, just basically cap the power to 200mW-ish for indoor use (in most countries which allows 6GHz Wi-Fi that is, a lot of countries are not allowing them at all).
You've got things backwards: The FCC is just as sane as anywhere else when it comes to indoor low power (no requirements) but all the other regulatory agencies lack the option of something like AFC if you want to go beyond the 250 mW EIRP client limit (1000 mW EIRP AP limit). See the table on page 2 https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-375609A1.pdf
You may have mixed this with outdoor use, which the FCC does require AFC for regardless of power, but I'd still argue even the outdoor regulation is saner than how most countries approached the band. I.e. rather than say "no, you can't use all/most of this 6 GHz space outdoors at all because there are some incumbents" the option of "Despite there being incumbents, you can use the band up to 4000 mW EIRP from the AP and 1000 mW EIRP from the client on the condition you tie into the AFC system to make sure you aren't interfering with an incumbent by doing so" is available.
Everything gives the impression of being clickable and not even half of it is.
Then I click on "crazy fast loading times" and a slow popups overlay appears.. the slider and the animations are feel deliberately annoying - slow slide.. when a slide is in the center it stops.. takes a deep breath and then is beeing reminded that it has to load it's three arms and bubbles... and all that for explaining in 2 sentence what open source is.
(And the overlay not being dismissable with ESC is annoying)
The AI outputs the steps with or without newlines at will. I thought that was just bad prompt engineering on my side, but I like your explanation better!
If true, I'd check all configured email addresses. They let you configure different addresses for support/bills etc. and will send warnings only to certain addresses.
Hetzner is usually good at revolving issues.
If you don't pay a bill, they eventually will block incoming traffic from the web. They are still reachable from inside hetzner network and they will unblock traffic as soon it's paid.
If the BSI finds Ports that shouldn't be open to the public, they will forward the mail to you and won't take actions.
If you disturb their network due to misconfiguration, they will block you, demand an explanation within 24 or 48 hours and unblock you, if they find it plausible.
If you call them with technical issues - in my experience - you typically want to prepare logs, traceroutes etc. because they will know enough to provide guidance on how to resolve it.
I have a single configured email address on which I received my welcome email on July 15 and "Server Locking" email today.
Looking into Hetzner dashboard, it seems they did not delete my instance, just turned it off and banned my IP so I cannot ssh into it.
There is an option to request unblocking which I will request soon and which wants me to answer "What caused this problem?" and "How do you plan to correct this problem and prevent for the future?".
This was a development instance: running docker, postgres, SchemaSpy, some service emulators, node, vscode and accessed the services through ssh port-forwarding.
It seems there is an "Abuse" incident linked to the blocking of my IP but I only see the incident ID, no additional details.
This was a dev instance, I did not think about making it airtight. I do not rule out that someone broke into it and violated their terms (this happens with production systems and I am definitely a worse engineer than people there). If this happened, I am happy they locked it down but I wish they informed their users in these cases: I had git ssh keys and other secrets there which I proactively revoked and more information on the incident would definitely have helped choose the right course of action.
I have quite a bit of rep with Hetzner, so they didn't outright nuke me, but I once got an abuse email because I was running an IPFS daemon, and the reference IPFS implementation allows RFC1918 IPs and GCNAT on discovery announcements... so dialing into nowhere a lot upset the router.
With the new no-ip-at-all option you can set up a Network and set up an extra instance as NAT as you would with a home network. That should cut down on issues like that.
Also, the main reason I did not initially add a lot of info to the story is I do not know what is relevant and what is not because the email I received from them contains even less detail than my post. That is the only thing I really wish changes in the future. Would totally use Hetzner again with that (if I am allowed to, that is)
After long search, I can add 2 additional alternatives:
- https://raindrop.io
- online, free& paid. Good if no much metadata is needed. Raw data is not really accesseble
- https://en.eagle.cool/
- I LOVE it. Paid and local only. But Cross-Plattform and Dropbox sync available. Astonishing metadata management for all types of media. Automatically saves source url when browser-plugin is used.
