Kolektiva has made a statement about the past week's events, which i think is important to boost. Everyone deserves to see this, regardless of whether they end up agreeing or disagreeing with anything in it: https://kolektiva.social/@moderation/109490898623030949
For those wondering, ′′ how did i do it?":
I Boiled 10l of water, added 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, two cups of coke and half cup of lemon juice then stirred well .
Waited 3 minutes, put the pan in the solution for 45 minutes, then added a quarter cup of chlorine bleach to the mixture.
Then I brushed it with a firm toothbrush and put it back into the liquid for another 25 minutes.
I took it out, rinsed it and it looked exactly the same, so I threw it away and went out and bought a new one.
What's the easiest way to set up a simulated network with ISP-style NAT? Preferably without buying dedicated hardware for the purpose, and preferably reproducible for other developers.
Usecase: I am developing a P2P system, and need a reasonably representative environment to test my software in, and how well it deals with shitty residential networking configurations.
I'm a developer, not a network engineer, so my knowledge of networks is limited to a developer perspective and I don't have the spoons to learn it in-depth.
Boosts appreciated

The collapse of a startup leaves implanted medical devices in > 700 people
The unavailability of the proprietary SW needed to recalibrate the devices and maintain its effectiveness, and the draining of batteries, will leave them without treatment and with HW implanted in their bodies
They have to hack their own implants
And it is not an isolated case but a trend
