Namecheap actually shut off access to my cpanel for a few hours, while they applied "mitigations". I hope it's enough.

I hope you find something good soon.

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.

Forgot to add: if you enable IPv6, be sure to use the browser extension IPvFoo. It shows a small 4 or 6 in your URI bar to let you know what protocol you're connecting to. Once enabled, you'll see just how much stuff out there actually is IPv6.

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 was just thinking how awesome it would be to actually smell those mountain flowers while doing Skyrim VR. Talk about immersion.

Exactly. I've never watched him in any form, but I do remember him from the BTS of the Hobbit, and some internet videos showcasing his knowledge. He's a real fan. That's really what LOTR needs.

If Peter Jackson is attached, I'd watch it.

....... uhh, we'll get back to you.

Not defending Milton at all, but it bends the constraints of credulity to say that he "tricked' his former friend into asking for money. If he was being confronted by Robb for his sexual sins, how did he manipulate the conversation into convincing Robb to ask for money to keep quiet? Just because he was poor? That is severe mental gymnastics.

That is an excellent point. Too many "warnings" is no warning at all.

I remember that original CmdrTaco post.... man I'm old.

Sounds just like Steam big picture mode

You can stare at the full moon all night if you like, because the albedo of the moon has filtered most of the light including the UV band that naturally passes through our own atmosphere. The three mile circle illuminated by a mirror would bounce a significantly higher amount of UV than the moon's albedo. If you treat the 60ft reflector as an analog to a pinhole in a pinhole camera, the circular area on the Earth surface would be a rough projection of the image of the sun.

(1) I wonder how they calculate the UV exposure for the observer on the surface within the illumination area.

(2) I wonder if you'd be able to detect places in a coherent projection where sunspots or coronal ejections are reflected through the "pinhole" effect of this arrangement.

"But it's not OUR monoply, so it's bad"

That is it exactly. It has to reach a lower price point to overcome everyone's "traditional" reservations. A low enough price point will get the curious ones, and it will only snowball from there.
