What? Why?
There are? Really? Are you sure?
So I go into system settings/network/WiFi/[my T-Mobile router]/details/TCP/IP and there it is (the iP6 address that Wikipedia says they blocked) in a list of 9 IP6 addresses (what are 9 (!) there for anyway?)
All this is beyond my ken. I don't think I've ever had a wikipedia account (although I have given them money), and it's just my wife and I that live here, use this Mac, and this router. And I wasn't actually trying to edit Wikipedia, just start a "talk" about a page that appears to have been recently edited by an anti-vaxxer ("At this point, their claims cannot be trusted as they originally claimed their vaccines did NOT cause myocarditis.")
Anyway, my Mac (an M1 Mini) has been weird for some years; suuuuper slow (like 20 seconds) to change users; occasionally the keyboard input appears on screen super-duper slow (like, one character every 3-4 seconds). I have set it to automatically restart every night at 3a, and that seems to help. Had the same sorts of problems with my previous i7 Mac mini. Perhaps foolishly used migration assistant to set up the M1. Up to date on all system software.
Anyway, I always wonder if I've somehow been hacked. Any ideas?
There are multiple blocks against your account and/or IP address
