IPv4 and v6 are internet protocols... how the data is transferred... v4 is the standard now and v6 is slowly being implemented around the world... it wont come into full swing until 2008-2010 sadly... it's a huge infrastructure change, but the benefits will be great.

Thanks for explaining, just tried this little tweak, and i do notice a difference! :yes:

It's too bad all these network tweaks are needed to make it really fast... You recommend it to your friends... But do you really want them to have to download the Moox builds, install the network tweak extension, have them disable IPv6 support, and make various other about:config tweaks just to get it to run fast?

I bet more than half of the regular Firefox users don't even know about these tweaks... Let alone all their n00b friends they recommend it to.

Come on lets make this stuff fast BY DEFAULT!!!!

I have discovered a problem with this tweak, and set it back to default.

When downloading files, I thought my download speeds were kind of slow, start slow, and just get slower as they go. Had an idea, set this tweaked setting back to default, and downloaded the exact same file from the exact same place, and my download speed was 6 times faster. Same file downloaded with IPv6 disabled, and then again not 1 minute later with it back on, definitly a differance. Might slightly speed up page loading, but slowed down my downloading of files in Firefox quite alot.

Actually, you're wrong.

When you go to download something in Firefox, it starts downloading before you actually choose a location to download from. The download speed that you see is an average of how much you've downloaded over the time it has taken. So if it has already downloaded quite a bit while you chose the location to save to, there will be a huge download speed reported (let's say you have already gotten 300k of it downloaded and it just started showing the progress: 300k/sec). So as it finishes downloading, the speed it shows gets closer and closer to the actual speed. The speed you start with is a lot faster than it actually is.

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
