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'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.

I think the Gloabalist banker/communist fear mongers have corrupted the atomic scientists controlling the doomsday clock
Trump has been ending wars

The persistent smaller (non nuclear) violence is mostly stress of the failing fiat currency happening to multiple countries at once

The US has a problem with communist idiots brainwashed by education and propaganda
They are trying to create chaos as a distraction to gain power
Don't be one of those idiots

China is pushing the hard drugs in the US using the cartels
If you don't want to live in a third world country under a warlord dictator

Resist the Bolsheviks

The globalist bankers are preparing for a distraction event, invasion fraud or possibly aliens really do exist
Why is this card being played now?
Ukraine Russia War needs to end without looking like a failure ?
US dollar - world money ?
Digital ID / CBDC ?
Orange man bad ?
Epstein files exposing who ?
3I/Atlas is an alien probe and it's becoming obvious ?

insert your conspiracy theory (TRUTH) here

Y) Everything has some Truth in it
Z) All of the above

considering many people can't handle a small dog
The dog ends up controlling the house and it's owners cater to it's whims

This could be very bad

ERP software is for the part of the company that is NOT unique and special
IF you are unique and special in those areas, you probally have a problem with org structure and/or management

I think the best place to be special is in CRM, Support and Helpdesk
Happy customers that get products on time, working to spec and support with problems, buy more and buy again

This includes internal customers (service monitoring, trouble fixes)

Reapplying customizations to ERP after upgrades (lots of manpower hours) always seemed to be a "you picked the wrong ERP" moment in my mind.

In the ERP installs I was involved with, the C suite went with the pretty to look at, really ugly implementations
Always were overbudget and delayed multiple times by many months, plus new desktop computers everywhere...
Recommended network cleanup operations and some new cabling too.

Glad I am retired, now
Programming IT departments are going to need to staff up and pay better to support the "special and unique"
Firing execs with high numbers of failed projects would be cheaper

Capacity Upgrades
Repair down servers
push the damm button
find the failing cable
replace the storage device
backup backup and send backup offsite
replace entire server rack with new new new servers
train new people and replace exiting people

free power may not make enough of a difference

I ran a dedupe on my drive and eliminated 8 redundant copies of the goatse guy.

Definitely
Touch typing is nice when on the same keyboard all the time, in an editor/ide, in user mode

But as a system admin with 4 or 5 different operating system and different keyboards(in a single day), using root/system privileges on CLI

I hunt & peck and read my commands, think about it a bit and then hit enter
Accuracy was more important than speed
Rarely made a mistake (once or twice in 3 decades)

now retired and touch type mostly until special characters need
In college I was about 40wpm typing

You are thinking too hard citizen
Care to explain yourself ?
The situation is simple, why are you so aggitated ?
We better go to the time out booth until I can review the surveilence cameras & GPS trackers

This will cost you 300 credits for the investigation
