That’s boring.

Yep. If someone had spent the money to do the research, we probably could have. Of course you can’t really rely on a government that gets replaced every few years to think long–term.

Yes, I know that there are other private subnets in IPv4. My comparison was specifically between IPv6 ULAs and 10.0.0.0/8 specifically because of the size. You won’t have to renumber your networks when you grow in size because 2⁷² addr

You’re welcome. Have fun with it!

No, it’s more like HomeModem ←A→ Exchange1 ←D→ Exchange2 ←A→ ISPModem. The digital parts were all inside the telco’s networks that connect the exchanges to each other. > Couldn't you send data at megabits per seconds over a mile lon

You can do it in any train system designed to be resilient to failures. The Germans have apparently designed a system that incentivizes (or even forces) the conductor (or the dispatchers) to do ridiculous things that waste hours of their cu

by db48x 10mo ago
Right, but Germany has stations every few miles. Here in America the next station might be hours and hundreds of miles away. Better to stop ¼ mile away instead; people will hardly know the difference. The point is that if for any reason the

by db48x 10mo ago
No, you let them off at the nearest station or level crossing. Here in America that would generally be within a block of where the train was supposed to stop anyway. There are a few stations with “underground” tracks that would have to let

It is at least consistent within any one Amtrak route. The ones that go through the north east have to go through tunnels that can only accommodate single–level cars, while all the other routes have the double–level cars where the doors are

Sure. But if it doesn’t work then _return the hardware_. It’s the manufacturer’s fault.
342.
by db48x 10mo ago
Lol, most Amtrak platforms are at track level! I think the cars are 8” above track level, not waist high. Every car has a metal step that will be placed in front of the door by the attendant. Edit: Oh, except for a few lines on the East Coa

by db48x 10mo ago
Same here. An Amtrak train would just stop at the next convenient road crossing, if there were really something preventing them from stopping at the scheduled station. Most Amtrak stations don't even have staff, or any way to prevent p

If your computer fails to sleep, or fails to wake up correctly after sleeping, when running Linux then the problem is almost always the hardware manufacturer’s fault. Many motherboards come with frankly broken ACPI tables that should never

Good presentation.

Yea, from the outside looking in it seems so obvious and it’s easy to blame them for overspending. But it’s different when you’re the one who is addicted. Breaking the addiction requires that moment of realization when you finally add up al

Sure, but 99% of that cost was paying for the absurd physical dimensions of that particular television. > The "pixels" didn't become larger on lower resolutions… Strictly speaking, the CRT only had discrete lines not pixel

Ouch, that is lucky. I remember putting some keys into an electrical socket when I was quite young. My hand must have bridged live and neutral, so the current only flowed from thumb to forefinger rather than through my chest to my feet. But

Agreed. I’m with Quark; I want to wake up in Heaven and have no idea how I got there.

Yea, so? Debian goes back 32 or more years, and quilt dates to approximately the same time. It’s probably just a year or two younger than Debian. At Mozilla some developers used quilt for local development back when the Mozilla Suite source

Yea, but the screen you could see wasn’t a CRT tube. It was just a projection screen but unless you looked closely you’d be unlikely to notice.

by db48x 10mo ago
If you pay extra for that. Meanwhile _any_ CRT could trade off resolution for refresh rate across a fairly wide range. In fact the standard resolutions for monitors were all just individual points in a larger space of possibilities. They co

AC current paralyzes by alternately contracting and relaxing your muscles, 60 times per second. This tends to lock you in place because the electricity is a higher voltage than your nerves and overrides any command you send every 60th of a

Quilt predates Git. Back then source was distributed as a tarball, and Debian simply maintained a directory full of patches to apply to the tarball.

True. It is a would inflicted by your employer in that case. Maybe you could find a different one that doesn’t inflict such wounds.

I suppose that could be annoying, but technically DHCPv6 is not part of the IPv6 specification just as the original DHCP was not part of the original TCP/IP specification.

by db48x 10mo ago
Right. I was merely correcting your statement that SLAAC needs more than 64 bits to work with. But my question remains; do any ISPs hand out smaller delegations than a /64?
359.
by db48x 10mo ago
Strictly speaking it can and does run on subnets that are exactly /64. Does anyone actually hand out smaller delegations today?

Those all support IPv6 too. They’re the same computers, and they’ve all supported IPv6 for decades now. The IPv6 spec is a lot shorter than the spec for Bluetooth or TIFF.
