> Both IPv6 and Wayland have increased complexity and surface area for pain (cost) without an obvious benefit for the end-user. I'd argue the opposite: IPv6 has lowered complexity for the end user: SLAAC, endless addresses, no nee

But on the other hand, Trump's treatment of Europe so far – especially in his second term – would be entirely shocking to the sensibilities of any westerner anno 2015. I'm not so sure the US isn't already steaming willingly t

> Wayland smells like IPv6 to me. No need to switch, and it hurts when you try. I'm very happy with Wayland, but what a strange comparison to make if you're not. IPv6 is objectively an enormous improvement over IPv4, and the on

For remote applications, Waypipe works fine for me at least.

Slight digression: why isn't a computer – a general purpose computer, open enough to run mainline Linux – in this form factor readily available? I'm fine with not calling it a phone. I just don't understand why we don't

Yeah, you're right, I'm misremembering something here. Thanks for the correction.

Tangentially related: the opposite, Rust's borrow checker sans the compiler, is actually very useful. As far as I understand, the borrow checker is a significant part of the work of writing a Rust compiler. Therefore, having the offici

Please stop trying to hurt every single human being with these derailments. There is no plausible mechanism by which carbondioxide levels would halve. That means you're just trying to derail the discussion by appealing to people's

I don't see how what you describe doesn't in general apply to FFI between any languages with different resource management philosophies. In particular: > Yes, in Rust you can implement the Drop trait, but then the caller needs

> NodeJS does not have a good FFI story, and neither does Rust or Go. Yes, there's support, but Python's FFI support is actually better here. Huh. I've found Rust's FFI very pleasant to work with. I understand that Zi

I don't believe that. I don't necessarily love capitalism (though I can't say I see very many realistic better alternatives either), but if HN is full of people who could do corporate IT better (read: sanely), then the conclu

I really wish we could have both. An interactive web frontend, and the classic email-centric bug tracker, both serving the same data. I think both have its strengths. I suppose that the job is massive given how enormous and fast-moving the

People who don't already know it still need to learn it if they wanna manage LLMs writing it. Anything else is reckless. So the original point stands.

Interesting. How do you deal with destination addresses on your local network? DHCPv6 like the other poster and myself?
347.
by gspr 10mo ago
No. Admittedly, my firewall rules are all about granting something extra beyond the basics. I only do this for clients I care about anyway, so I can always tell them to use the right address.
348.
by gspr 10mo ago
I thought this was a problem too. Then I realized that addresses are not in short supply, so I stopped caring that some devices get multiple addresses. The ones I care about are handed out over DHCPv6, and the firewall works accordingly. Th

I realize that a FOSS browser is an absolutely enormous monstrosity of a project. An undertaking akin to a whole FOSS OS. But it's also comparably important, especially when no FOSS alternatives exist in the browser space. We (I mean t

You can even just randomly generate such an ID number, write it on a piece of paper and enclose it with cash in one of several currencies, and post it to them.

Sure. And for that I plan to keep a sterile second phone with the stuff that requires that.

Maybe you're right. But at the same time I feel (based on nothing) that even the performance of an entry-level Android phone, coupled with libre hardware and software, and a tiny little keyboard like the N900's, running an ordin

I'd actually prefer one running a normal Linux. It's a travesty that certain things in daily life require Android or iOS, and that's a fight I'll keep fighting, but the idea of a tiny Linux laptop in my pocket is just so
