Sometimes it's fine to do that, other times it isn't. If you plan to test network topology, firewalls, you can't do that. If you plan to run untrusted VMs, you also can't do that.

That's not how IPv6 works. In IPv6 the lower 64 bits are essentially random, and the most significant 64 bits are used for routing. Each additional level of routing must use up one bit, except because of over-provisioning concerns, and

Here in Vienna, the "local Comcast" started deploying IPv6. However, they stopped providing real IPv4 for IPv6 customers, and instead do CGN. Well thanks, but no thanks.

This doesn't make any sense. It's in the financial interest of people selling you addictive drugs not to kill you. "But they are criminal" is no explanation.

120 film is widely available. I don't know why 220 film was not that popular.

What most people don't realise is that can make film that can record at whatever resolution we need, and we have known how to do this for over a century. It's simply a tradeoff between grain size and sensitivity. For most consumer

For the Moon landings, the film was not normal photographic film, it was a special thin base film mounted in special backs that allowed for 160/200 frames per back, instead of the 12 exposures you get with normal 120 film on a regular

So far NASA used Nikon because Nikon didn't use fluorite elements, unlike Canon. However now Nikon started to use fluorite elements as well. I wonder what will happen in the future.

You misunderstood. The problem is not forwarding Kerberos tokens, the problem is obtaining Kerberos tokens. Unless some extensions are employed, you need to use password authentication. Even if kerberos extensions are employed, you must sti

But then you must use Kerberos authentication (password only) and can't use SSH public key authentication.

I don't think most people have a problem with having a smaller population in general, they have a problem with the shift in the age distribution. Having less people is fine, having few young people who have to care for a general aging

I drink a lot of tea. About 1 liter a day as a baseline, but if I do some ultrahike or something I can easily drink 3 liters a day. Sometimes for some reason it's really hard to drink my tea (e.g. I'm in a hotel that doesn't

If the firmware is open source, backdoors can only be present in the CPU itself. That is a posibility, however with Intel backdoors can be in so many more places, plus in the CPU itself. Sounds like an improvement?
