To be clear, I think the technicality the author is alluding to is that it is not all runs, because some runs of zeroes are significant, you can't condense the zeroes in "ff00:..." for example, for obvious ambiguity reasons.

I believe the point the post is making is that there are some runs of zeros that can't be condensed, not that you can condense multiple runs in a single address.

Yeah, I'm just using Arch's default iputils: > pkgfile $(which ping) core/iputils That doesn't provide a `ping6`, presumably as `ping -6` is the preferred solution.

Do you have a link-local v6 address on that device? My first attempt `ping ff02::1%enp9s0` didn't work because I use VLANs and don't actually get addresses on the base device, using the VLAN virtual device (in my case `ping ff02::

The stupid people thing annoys me, because you see so much of "man, the people doing this must be stupid for not doing that" in so much conversation, which ignores the reality that so many things are outside of an individual'

On Arch, I get "ping: Warning: IPv6 link-local address on ICMP datagram socket may require ifname or scope-id => use: address%<ifname|scope-id>", and it doesn't work unless I do so.

I'd really just rather get IPv6 working everywhere and not have to deal with NAT. Some more addresses just drags out the problem by reducing incentives to switch, it doesn't solve anything, which is roughly where the article seems

True, "check" was poor phrasing, because these things don't produce evidence, they produce alerts to guide investigation. It should be a given that these systems don't produce anything actionable, they are a guide for a

Well, plenty of bunk stuff (bite mark analysis, hair analysis, etc...) has been used in the past, but in theory anything used today should be backed up by significant evidence and rigorous methodology, and obviously it'll vary based on

I've been with three ISPs in the UK, and once they did support IPv6, they all gave me a /56.

I wasn't claiming Debian were somehow singularly at fault, the poster just specifically said Arch was also vulnerable, which wasn't true.

According to Arch: "openssh does not directly use liblzma. However debian and several other distributions patch openssh to support systemd notification, and libsystemd does depend on lzma. Arch does not directly link openssh to liblzma

Safest by what metric? Calling the browser integration a "convenience" feature only is just fundamentally wrong. Realistically the most common attack most users face is a phishing attack, removing the browser integration which che

Naming things by analogy. "This wallet of records is similar to a photo album." is no different to "These slides are similar to a deck of cards." All words are made-up. You can not like the word if you don't like it

Do you also refuse to call music albums "albums"? The etymology is the exact same thing. Terms stick as formats change, that's the English language as it is used and it's not new or wrong.

Liability can't magically undo damage to health. Regulation is vital when the potential damage is irreversible.

JPEG XL is significantly smaller? All the stuff I've seen has show a slight edge for the same visual quality, but not enough I'd suspect it'd offset hardware decode, although if software doesn't actually do hardware de

Any features that matter to consumers more than slightly better battery life? I haven't seen one yet despite people always touting "better features". It feels to me like JPEG XL's advantages are mostly hypothetical, and

Isn't that kind of the point though? AV1/AVIF has an extremely strong case for hardware implementations: you need efficient (both in terms of processing and compression) video decoding on modern devices because the battery cost&

How much of that is because of (CG)NAT though? You can still do matchmaking and have direct connections. Yeah, there are trade-offs, but when you look at for example the fighting game crowd where latency is a big deal, consumers may massi

Yeah, I like to compare it to the old "Party Line" phone lines people used to have, where you shared a single phone line with multiple houses and only one person could talk at a time. Sure, it gives you some of the functionality

Never forget that BT was rolling out fibre across the country when they got privatised, had production in the UK running. The public BT foresaw the need for fibre and the cost of copper in the 70s, and was preparing, once Thatcher sold them

I think recursion is incredibly intuitive if you just start with an obviously recursive data structure. Give someone a tree, and writing a recursive function is a very natural thing to do.

I don't think past mistakes mean we shouldn't demand reasonable names for things. If you want to use an arbitrary name, use one, if you pick a descriptive name and don't do as described, it's just false advertising.

I think the second they used the term "Full Self Driving", they opened themselves up to criticism when it doesn't fulfil that promise. Hell, I'd argue they shouldn't be able to call it that legally.
