If you have a shitty ISP that rotates prefixes like it's 2005, hosting anything public is a massive pain already. DDNS works just as well on IPv6, though. Internally, a ULA will keep things reachable even if you move ISPs. You could ev

You're gonna need to scan 2^64 addresses once you've located the IPv6 network assigned to my connection before you find my phone. 2^56 if you don't get lucky guessing the network prefix it happens to be on at that moment. As

I have never seen any of this in real life. However, all of this is in the RCS spec. If Apple implements the RCS spec beyond the bare basics, all of this should Just Work. RCS is much more than just "SMS but via weird HTTP" and th

Still, browsing the Skoda website, I see Skoda offering lane assist for 450 to 750 euros (one is a "plus" version for some reason), a "headlight assist" for 990 euros, and CarPlay/Android Auto support for 450 euros.

Crazy to think that multiple countries chose to solve the danger of cars all turning into giant murder tanks was to add cameras rather than to classify the murder tanks as being too dangerous to drive.

With glibc falling over but systemd-resolved working as intended, I suspect their Linux tests may have accidentally passed. Most desktop Linux installs and a whole lot of cloud Linux installs would've accidentally been saved from glibc
