They didn’t look all that advanced…

Yep. You’re right. That’s 100% an uber with blackjack and hookers.

I think he just played a hand of poker too.

IPv6 fixes a lot of problems. It’s actually a simpler protocol. It eliminates the need for NAT, which is a major headache when building networks. The security model is just traffic filtering. That’s all you need.

It’s got built-in privacy extensions. Most desktop machines make outgoing connections with an address that cannot listen on a socket. You cannot get portscanned by anyone you connect to. This is a problem that cannot be solved on IPv4. To make it better, the outgoing address changes about once a day (typically). This prevents web servers from following you around and building a profile.

Address scanning is a huge problem in IPv4. If you open SSH port 22 on a public server, there will be bots guessing the password within the hour. IPv6 space cannot be scanned like that, so it simply doesn’t happen.

My personal hot take: If global IPv4 were turned off tomorrow, we’d migrate to IPv6 in a month and never look back. 90% of the pain of IPv6 is the duplication of work because IPv4 still exists.

Kleptomania.

I wanted to get involved in a community project around Manhattan. Is there anything good going on?

Way to stand up to the man!

She’s the woman who kept the dream alive.

Do you reckon there’s a fraction out the back that isn’t 9/10, or did it never exist?

I’m wondering why it’s even a thing.

I wonder if anyone ever wrote an update aggregator that would find all package managers, containers and git repos and whatnot and just do all of them.

Some are a right pain to update, such as Nextcloud. Installing a monthly update should not feel like an enterprise prod deployment.

It’s kinda ironic that package managers have caused the exact problem that they are supposed to solve.

So, ChatGPT can’t match any function of a Casio wristwatch. I’m concerned that when it can, it will consume the power of microwaving a turkey just to tell a user what time it is.

We need to lock him in a cell then flood it with shit.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they lost money on the hardware. Remove their software and the revenue stream is severed from day one.

I’ve found the biggest bottleneck is bugs. If you catch a bug during development, it takes the least time to fix.

Catch a bug during PR, you need to fix the code, and the PR needs to happen again.

Catch a bug in QA, and you need to fix the code, do another PR, and get it tested again.

This pattern goes right through UAT, and god help you when a bug makes it to Prod.

There is nothing more time consuming than code that was written quickly.

It’s not AI. I reckon every kid in Melbourne has been there on a school trip.

That’s Soverign Hill, Ballarat (Australia). Awesome little place. Was the local VLine station packed because trains are free? I did Bendigo today and boy was it busy. It’s great that there was almost no cars in town.

I just peel it under running cold water. Fast and easy.

That’s about the same as Australia. It’s $2.50/L and AUD is typically close to CAD.

Ahh. That’s usually among the red stuff in dmesg. I glad to hear you solved it, but a failing hard drive is a pricey thing to endure these days.
