Or, you could've fixed your server's configuration. Probably would've been faster than to "disable, remove and nuke ipv6". In general, the mistake is that it says "0.0.0.0" or "0.0.0.0:8080" so

One good thing about IPv6 is that any reasonable allocation will be large enough to use sizable chunks as functional divisions. A small company might have a /48. You don't have to be concerned about address space when you just go

* privacy addresses are great * deriving additional addresses for specific functions is great (e.g. XLAT464/CLAT) * you don't get collisions when you lose your DHCP lease database * as Brian says, DHCP wasn't quite there yet

Wait till you find an application that accepts 1.65793 as an IPv4 address. Or 134744072. $ ping -c 1 1.65793 PING 1.65793 (1.1.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=1.56 ms --- 1.65793 ping

We have that variant of IPv8, it's what CGNAT gives you, especially if you run MAP-E or MAP-T (which are technically not quite NAT, but kinda are, it's… complicated). You take some bits from the port number and essentially repurp

This sounds vaguely familiar. Wasn't iTerm2's SSH integration already the source of a relatively high profile CVE a while back? ⇒ https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-22275 iTerm2 3.5.6 through 3.5

I can for the love of whatever is holy not understand why they put 5 GbE on that thing. Massively simplified, 2.5G is 1G sped up while 5G is 10G slowed down. It makes no sense and the market agrees. The ladder of popularity goes: 1000base-

There's also a chasm of (non-)accountability. You or your subordinates target an elementary school: that's a war crime. Your "battlefield AI" targets an elementary school: software bug, it happens, can't be helped.

The definition of a preprint is that it isn't peer reviewed. Unless you're an expert in the field, you IMHO shouldn't be looking at preprints. Might be OK if they come recommended by multiple unaffiliated experts (i.e. kind

It matters because for medical questions, you [are supposed to] go to a medical professional, and those very much cares about and make that distinction. Which is exactly the problem here; it "used to be" that reasonable people w

I'm not sure "being gamed" is the lens I would see this particular instance through. People (some at least) have gotten into their heads that they can ask LLMs objective questions and get objectively correct answers. The LL

By that logic, LLMs would be essentially useless considering the amount of garbage that exists on the internet. And, honestly, for things like this they are. But they're not marketed as such, and _that_ is the problem.

What assumptions would that be? Shipping anything built with -march=native is a horrible idea. Even on homogeneous targets like one of the clouds, you never know if they'll e.g. switch CPU vendors. The correct thing to do is use micro

As a FOSS maintainer… code was already cheap before. Good code wasn't. And it still isn't… even if only because the cost includes review, but still often enough for the code itself too.
