A honest Xiaomi Redmi 10C review focusing on what matters

A honest review focusing on what really matters in smartphones: Affordable price, reasonable performance and battery life, good software, no bloatware, ease of unlocking the bootloader, data protection and privacy. Most reviews on the net focus on superficial, unimportant stuff like an extra megapixel here or the form of the display notch there.

tl;dr: It is like Xiaomi is making it intentionally hard to get rid of their spyware-ridden, bloated firmware (requiring a SIM card, Mi account, Windows software, and a full week of waiting time). DO NOT BUY XIAOMI PHONES!

Workarounds for Netflix and the blocking of Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnels

The dreaded "You seem to be using an unblocker or proxy." error message. Cool story bro.

This gist was essentially created out of my own rant about Netflix being hostile to IPv6 tunnel services since June 2016. You are welcome to read my opinion on the matter, this is the more technical side to the issue and how to combat it within your own network.

Since I wrote this, various GitHub users have contributed their thoughts and ideas which has been incorporated into this gist. Thank you to everyone who have contributed their own methods and implementations.
