Comment It's About Time (Score -1) 244

If I operate a motorized vehicle on the street I need a license, insurance, registration and a street-legal vehicle. It's already against the law for an unlicensed little shit with no lights, safety equipment or common sense to suddenly dart out into traffic, swerve through screeching tires and near-misses and then do a wiseass pop back on to the sidewalk at 20-30 MPH. It's against the law to ride a motorized vehicle on the sidewalk too.

Oh, and shout out to the Mensa members who do the same thing wearing dark clothing at night at busy intersections. Every one of those goddamn bikes comes with lights installed. Except yours. Right bro?

Get a license and insurance or get the fuck off the road.

And you're too goddamn stupid to realize you're freezing to death. Maybe they'll ping your phone and find you in a frozen doomscrolling pose under 17 feet of snow. Public education is really lighting up that scoreboard!

To me the hoops that smoothbrains will jump through to avoid IPv6 and stay on legacy IPv4, especially when hosting, is pathetic. NAT, port forwarding, tunnels, blah blah blah blah.

I have something like ~1.2 trillion times the number of routable addresses that the entire IPv4 space has. Not all are reachable, of course, just the services that need incoming access and they're each on their own isolated DMZ.

Comment My home network is nearly pure IPv6 (Score 1) 73

Started the move about 18 months ago when I decided to get off my lazy ass. My ISP gives out a /56 prefix, so that lets me run 256 /64 subnets/VLANs in the house, currently there are ~10 in use. Everything get a GUA through SLAAC and I use RAs (Router Advertisements) to give ULAs to everything. Any external facing services get their own VLAN and /64 for the system(s) as needed. Firewall blocks all incoming as they usually do by default and I punch a hole for the external-facing systems. They can't reach back into the network, they only answer the phone. All the systems update DNS dynamically if the prefix or full address ever change.

I have an SSH bastion set up. In all this time there has not been a single SSH attempt from the internet. On IPv4 it was constant background noice.
For those legacy IPv4-only systems on the internet, I set up NAT64. I have an IoT VLAN and IoT 2.4 GHz wireless network that are only IPv4 because a lot of IoT network stacks are junk.

I'm still farting around with it, but man oh man, there's no way I'd go back to IPv4. It was one of the best moves I've done in ages.

I think that's wonderful news. Living in another country will broaden your horizons more than any other experience I can think of.

We are all people. We all live on one planet. The more we live in different places, and the more we get to be around people living here from other places, the better it will be for all of us.

This is not a call for open borders. Maybe, one day, when we are united as a planet. However, within the pathways that exist today: let's get to know each other more!

The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.
We haven't had cable since ~1999-2000. Downloading and the *arrs have kept us happy, but the better half wanted to check out some live sports. So IPTV it was.
