Hi, my internet seems unstable since a couple days. It was worked just fine for years. Maybe an update was responsible for it? what I get: websites randomly not loading git clone (over ssh) randomly failing happening regardless of what network I’m on not a DNS issue [grafik] using thinkpad L1…

Kernel linux 6.16.5 has landed. And looks like (after a few first tests) it works as expected. Finally. :smile:
