ISPs are SUPPOSED to allocate a /64 for a single customer. Mine does, so I have 4.5 billion available addresses within my 2001:4653:nnnn:nnnn::/64 prefix...

Good job not even attempting to secure your office switch ports with whitelisted MACs or whatever, then. And if you then argue that MACs can be spoofed easily, well, you'd have to get the MAC of the authorised system first. And by that

My very publically available home server (static IPv6 address, AAAA record) is behind two firewalls. The first is the ISP-supplied router. That handles any attempted connection to any address on its /64 subnet. The second is UFW on the

[prefix]::1 [prefix]::2 ... [prefix]::ffff Or if you want mnemonics on your /64: [prefix]::dead:beef:1 [prefix]::b00b:1 [prefix]::b00b:2 etc

As a private user, as long as I remember the prefix assigned to my connection I much prefer having a stable [prefix]::dead:beef or ::f007:1 and ::f007:2 etc compared to the ever-changing 85.nnn.nnn.nnn v4 address. Or simply just /think

Well, DECT wasn't exactly very secure, and neither was GSM (2G) call encryption. And check out the recent TETRA-related CVE's for more fun ;) https://www.midnightblue.nl/tetraburst

I think that Smash Designs' Second Reality has the most amazingly programmed SID music out there, I'd love to see a write-up of how that was made.

However the Sony Cell had just a PowerPC controlling core. The real magic, and why it was used in supercomputers at the time, is in its Stream cores; they were highly tailored for vector and floating point maths.

And before that, vector processing, SIMD etc. was the domain of supercomputers like the Crays of yore :)

No disrespect, but to me that thing just gave me the same emotion as when I saw that meme about the person who couldn't connect to the holocaust until an MLP pony was edited into it. Raw humanity just isn't enough any more? Have w

Yeah, they were nice little things for the time! Luckily I don't think Logitech did much to ruin them back then.

Dude also has an SMT machine on semi-permanent loan for those tricky jobs :)

Some cheap manufacturers make USB-C cables (and ports) that only wire up the one side of the connector, because, hey, we only need USB 2 right, defeating the whole point with the connector.

I use the ISF Expert color mode on my LG TV that's my monitor -- it really reduces the blue glare (and I found it was pretty much perfectly calibrated to the M1 MBP 14" as well) And I turn down the brightness at night, helps a lot

If you don't know about it and are about to try this for the first time, it can be a "wtf" moment, yes :) But that's how you learn isn't it

No it doesn't REMOVE the Linux's UEFI partition or files on the drive, but it sets itself to #1 in your UEFI boot list. And since their installer does not add other OSes to the Windows bootloader automatically, you have to either

by porbelm 3y ago
Just remember to install Linux AFTER Windows, or unplug your Linux drive when installing Windows, because MS does not play nice with including other OSes in their bootloader; you're gonna have to mess with your UEFI boot order or add t

Hello, fellow mountain ape. I get Norwegian text in /some/ apps on the Mac even though Norwegian is 2nd in "preferred languages." I guess some use "Region" to decide instead of the logical setting. And setting

My brother still has one, it broke years ago, he fixed it himself (some soldering for the sliders and other bits, I think he said) and he's never, ever, no way, not selling it. Ever.

People needing to query huge amounts of data discovering technology that's been developed over the past 45 years for querying huge amounts of data efficiently; news at 11. Seems all these shops starting out with MongoDB or the like alw

There is: Take it to Apple and pay to have it fixed by them ;) I dunno if Touch ID is on the list of things they let you do yourself these days, but if so you "only" have to use their kit, which also lets you verify the parts IIUC

I would classify Lina as excellent hacker and engineer first, VTuber second (but it is really just marcan's alter ego, innit?)

Cannon Fodder on PC used the same MODs as the Amiga version for its music. Dr. Awesome from the scene was Team 17's in-house composer for ages. Epic Pinball also used some kind of module format. I think maybe Scream Tracker 3, seeming

Yeah, like toy and electronics stores had console demo stations out so the kids could line up and try different games.

OCRs of PD material? Is someone about to train a new AI model, perhaps? I'd think the Archive would be happy to arrange for receiving hard drives, filling them up, and sending them back. They seem like a very helpful bunch.

Same! Thanks I wasn't used to ip over ifconfig until a few years ago anyway lol

Just to clarify; I don't think AI-generated images have anything to do in a traditional photography contest. Prompt-creators can create their own festival. With blackjack. And hookers.
