@nobodyinperson@fosstodon.orgWhat an absurdity. I had to move our FritzBox router and thus replug it. Internet was completely broken afterwards. Turns out, the entire street was affected! 😵 Took the Telekom guy the entire morning to pinpoint this. Apparently, replugging subtly broke our FritzBox or its power supply in a way that it kept the Telekom's "distribution box" in the street so busy that it couldn't serve any other modems in the street. What the actual heck? 🤨 How is that DSL system so fragile?…

@cdarwin@c.imThe eighth generation of Wi-Fi represents a change in focus.
While previous incarnations of the Wi-Fi standard have promised higher connection speeds,
Wi-Fi 8 seems to be more about improving the basics:
reliability, stability, and lower latency.
Wi-Fi 8 also promises seamless roaming, keeping devices connected as you move and cutting down on dropped connections and dead zones.
For those keeping score, Wi-Fi 8 is IEEE 802.11bn using the old naming convention, w…

@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itThat's fun. "Secure" dns in browsers (at least, firefox and chrome/chromium) relies on doing an initial dns lookup of mozilla.cloudflare-dns.com or chrome.cloudflare-dns.com (or whichever DoH provider you've chosen).
If I control the router/wifi, I can blacklist the DoH provider domains. Depending on how your browser's configured, it may just fall back to normal dns (at which point the router/wifi sees & answers your dns queries).

@arXiv_csAR_bot@mastoxiv.pageAPEX: Adaptive Expert Prefetching for Memory-Efficient Edge MoE Inference

https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.11688 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.11688 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.11688
arXiv:2608.11688v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models are attractive for edge deployment because they provide high model capacity while activating only a small subset of parameters per token, improving compute efficiency. However, MoE inference at the edge is fundamentally limited by memory. Expert parameters are large and often reside in off-chip memory due to capacity, cost, and power constraints, putting expert loading to the critical path. We present APEX: Adaptive Expert Prefetching, a predictive resource management framework that overlaps expert loading with useful computation. APEX introduces a lightweight prefetch router that predicts candidate experts before the attention block to dynamically fetch additional experts using a learned confidence model. This adaptive strategy achieves over 99% overlap accuracy, significantly outperforming fixed top-k prefetching techniques. APEX supports two execution modes: a correctness-preserving mode that guarantees exact routing semantics, and a stall-free mode that eliminates residual stalls by operating on available experts with negligible impact on application accuracy. Across multiple MoE models, the correctness-preserving mode reduces per-token latency by up to 26% and improves energy-delay product (EDP) by up to 41% over state-of-the-art baselines, while the stall-free mode provides additional efficiency gains with negligible impact on application accuracy. These results establish adaptive, confidence-driven expert prefetching as an effective approach for efficient MoE inference on edge systems.

So I just switched ISPs and went from a provider router to my own router.
Odd things on the network. My router could see devices and servers but I couldn't access them from my computer.
Said devices and servers had static IPs.
I entirely missed the default IPs going from 192.168.0.xxx to 192.168.1.xxx with the router switch.
