Sorry for misrepresenting the functionality of the original cree.py project. What it does is download all photos that the user shared on Twitter, extract GPS tags from EXIF, and put markers on Google maps, annotated with these photos.

Worse. If you are not in the USA, i.e., if NIST is not the correct authority, that insurer might actually be enforcing what the "correct" authority believes to be right, i.e., password expiration.

The metric is flawed. What should be counted are high-quality IPv6 deployments. The following would be disqualifications: * IPv6 traffic to a different ISP in the same country goes through the USA * Only one /64 prefix is available (se

This goal feels like a marketing OKR to me. A proper technical goal would be "all packages, except the ones that have a valid reason, such as signatures, not to be reproducible".

The announcement from the Tor project could be more explicit that the security issue only affects Windows, and thus there is no need to issue any update on other platforms. Mozilla did it right: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US

Not only that. Having private IPv6 addresses in the LAN is the easiest way to work with two ISPs and have fail-over. The other way is RFC8475, but I don't know of any implementation except my custom script on OpenWrt: https:/&#x2
