Bah. Hans Reiser wrote filesystems all day and he turned out fine.

It went from INI to JSON real quick.

He’s like 90 years old and I watched him do a 2 hour gig and only took one sip of coke halfway. I have no idea how he does it.

Example.com recently had an issue where its traffic was found being routed to the wrong place (its traffic should get discarded).

I use it for email accounts on test data in environments with a live mail server configured. The point of this domain is that it doesn’t work.

Every school in the whole country has the same school days, and the same school times. You don’t need to read every sign.

Most of them flash the reduced limit on a timer. They don’t require any thought.

This is how I do it. No VPN. No NAT nonsense. You can open an IPv6 address to the public internet and nobody is going to stumble across it. You don’t even disclose your address to servers you connect to.

100% of shady connections come from bots scanning address space on IPv4.

I don’t get how a single person would have that much data. I fit my whole life from the first shot I took on a digital camera in 2001… Onto a 4TB drive.

…and even then, two thirds of it is just pirated movies.

I deliberately have not used docker at home to avoid complications. Almost every program is in a debian/apt repo, and I only install frontends that run on LAMP. I think I only have 2 or 3 apps that require manual maintenance (apart from running “apt upgrade”). NextCloud is 90% of the butthurt.

I’m starting to turn off services on IPv4 to reduce the network maintenance overhead.

It’s funny how icons back then were rendered with the detail of a renaissance painting, and now that we have hidpi displays, they are designed like they have to render in EGA.

Checkout followed by 400 build errors because your entire toolchain and build pipeline has changed since you last touched it.

Optus is barely an internet connection at this point. I’m using about 10 fearures on Aussie Broadband that simply don’t exist on the Optus network.

He said that Nvidia only care about money these days.

I also only recognise Trey and Matt.

Telstra (Australia’s largest telco) now provides IPv6-only to mobile handsets by default. They’ve deployed 464XLAT.

The main benenfit is not having to deal with NAT. You get your own address and your traffic is not conflated with other people’s.

You also get privacy extensions. Your device generates a temporary address for making outgoing connections. The address has no listening sockets. This means that you cannot get portscanned by every website you visit.

You don’t need to try and figure out your external IP address. There’s no differentiation between internal/external addresses. They’re all global, as the internet was intended.

You can throw as many IP addresses on an interface as you want. If you want to run two web servers from one machine, you can have multiple addresses with different services on port 443.

It needs timepieces. Or am I the only one who likes NTP, ISO-8601, sundials and Casio F-91Ws?

Enforcing TLS filters out a lot of spam connectikns too. Every legit provider has a cert these days.

I’ve got one, and it works well enough when offline.

If not, I could set up Home Assistant and self-host it.

It’s a shame, as Mozilla gave iRobot one of the better privacy ratings. That’s the only reason I allowed it in my house to begin with.

It was annoying having to change that setting so I could shut down the phone and install GrapheneOS.

I just put a new clutch in the vehicle I’m teaching my kid to drive.
