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.

Iâ(TM)ve truly thought that there were missed opportunities to develop social interactions and connections here like Reddit would go on to have (in the past golden days of that site).

Even though the note about his friends passing is personal, it touched me too. It feels like âoeone of usâ has passed.

Itâ(TM)s been 33 yearsâ¦..

I'm not seeing a paywall on the site. uBlock Origin must be doing something.

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.

One of our guys said something to the effect of "Copilot is Corporate Chat. It knows all the useless filler of management-speak, but lacks the competence of the people in the trenches.

Ouch.

I've used Claude at home for ages. Work was wanting to get some AI stuff for us and the only 'blessed' one is CoPilot. Everything else it blocked. All senior management seems to know about AI is "Hurrr... Copilot and ChatGPT."

Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.

There's a pattern here. Today's "server" becomes tomorrow's must have home personal computer.

They should bring back the guys in the bunny suits while they're at it!

But I would have been disappointed if it had not appearedâ¦.

Yet this horrible person managed to do the singular thing the previous person was unable to do - and that is to gain control over and close the Southern border!

Also, for the first time in years we are starting to see deaths due to drug overdose decline.

There is truly a lot to hate Trump for. But hate for a guy does not mean anything. Results do.

The point was not the firearm charges. The point was the Burisma dealings of Joe Biden who at the time was running for presidency.

The amount of outright censorship about the laptop was also legion. Countless accounts were banned who dared to mention that the laptop was real.

Your narrow focus on one issue surrounding the laptop exemplifies the dismissiveness of the outright truth telling by various people who do not align with the Democrat party.

I like a lot of progressive ideas. But I do not believe in using censorship to obtain them or putting the thumbs on the scales to win an election - which the censorship amounted to.

This is the most hilarious comment made yet. The U.N. sucks on the U.S. governmentâ(TM)s teats more than any other entity.

Of course Russia and China are going to disapprove because they have lost a customer of their hand-me-down weapon systems.

Everyone knows poop flinging monkeys are better!

Very good analysis. And he did modulate some rather draconian "bathroom bills." I can't help but wonder how many Democrats are actually registered as GOP so they can help keep him in office!! - past the "caucus system"!

Good on them!
