The goal today isn’t to make single stack IPv6 internet practical, it’s to make dual stack ubiquitous. Once that’s achieved, the cost differential, and the increasing technical burden of maintaining IPv4 hacks, will reach a tipping point where it’s relegated to legacy status, but this is at least a decade away, with likely another decade of inertial decay of public IPv4 after that.

The cloud is, and always has been, merely other people’s computers.

Their only legitimate use case is as disposable, transient, dumb nodes and synapses of a system you retain control and agency of.

The reason IPv6 was originally added to the DOCSIS specs, over 20 years ago, is because Comcast literally exhausted all RFC1918 addresses on their modem management networks.

My favourite feature of IPv6 is networks, and hosts therein, can have multiple prefixes and addresses as a core function. I use it to expose local functions on only ULA addresses, but provide locked down public access when and where needed. Access separation is handled at the IP stack, with IPv4 it’s expected to be handled by a firewall or equivalent.

No one who legitimately knows anything about computing speaks like this.

He’s truly a moron’s hallucination of a genius.

Every number system is base 10.

Binary is base 1+1.
Ternary is base 2+1.
Octal is base 7+1.
Decimal is base 9+1.
Duodecimal is base B+1.
Hexadecimal is base F+1.

I cut my teeth with DOS and Netware, used Windows until the day 98 was released (had been using the GM for a month), and cut over to Slackware as my daily driver. Dabbled with Redhat before stabilising on Debian, which I’ve never found a need to change from for my headless boxes.

One thing I specifically remember was hand tuning my X11 config to drive my 15” Trinitron at 1024x768 @ ~68Hz.

Anyone who is eligible to vote, and chooses not to, implicitly throws their support behind whoever wins.

On 2024-11-05, ⅔ of US citizens who were eligible to vote told the rest of the world they don’t want to be taken seriously for at least 2 years.

A society which charges its students to acquire knowledge values neither.

A healthy and broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.

Either she knows something novel, where processing data using voice coils is somehow beneficial, or is someone who calls their computer a ‘hard drive’, which summarily negates any legitimacy of technical competence.

Any meaningful suppression or removal of ideological bias is an ideological bias.

I propose a necessary precursor to the development of artificial intelligence is the discovery and identification of a natural instance.

Akin to Putin invading Ukraine, the tariffs aren’t a trade war, they’re a Stupid Economic Operation.

Dim MAGA with a low poly Lara Croft bust.

Ignorance is bliss, and to persist with conservatism requires embracing an ever expanding level of wilful ignorance.

Much like Putin to Ukraine.

Don’t call it a Trade War, it’s a Stupid Economic Operation.

All billionaires should be required to prove they’re not made of cake.
