I don't understand what's going on in Google's mobile division. Android 12 is filled with bugs that aren't fixed months after release. The Pixel 6 came with a terrible fingerprint scanner. They released a completely botc

Being the copyright owner of a piece of OSS doesn't give you control over every location where that software is hosted. For example, the developers of Python can't update the Python package in Debian's apt repo, Debian decide

A lot of NFTs are pixel art because it's very easy to integrate with the typical NFT model: make a handful of swappable components (hair, eyes, mouths, noses, accessories), a handful of skin tones, and a handful of backgrounds, then sp

Sure, but you probably weren't trying to sell those copies to unsuspecting buyers, pretending you had the rights to do so, and giving nothing to the artist. That's the scummy part.

I suppose this depends on whatever license the buyer and original IP owner agreed to during the original sale. Assuming the purchase included a license to distribute the NFT (share the image, resell the NFT, etc), you'd likely have to

Isn't it actually against Google's policy to show different content to the crawler than to actual users? I might be misremembering, but I thought at one point this practice could get you delisted.

Egress fees can make replicating databases, storage buckets, etc. between clouds very expensive. Multi-region is a much more affordable option. Multi-region outages aren't unheard of among the major cloud operators, but they're

You just create a route for it, same as you would with any size network. Linux allows you to create routes for IPv6 prefixes longer than /64 without any issue. On AWS I have a VM with a /80 routed to it, which I have divided into

It works fine with Gmail. And since G Suite is so widely used, tons of domains can send/receive mail over IPv6 just fine.

If an IPv6 spam filter is working on a per-address basis, it's never going to work. The smallest allocation you can get from a RIR is a /48. Even residential ISPs give at least a /64. You could use a different address for e

Typically, a /64 in IPv6 is one subnet. You're not really supposed to subdivide networks beyond that point. The first 64 bits identify the network, the last 64 bits identify the host. Under this design, if you only assign a /

If decentralization isn't needed, wouldn't a merkle tree be just as good? It seems a lot more computationally efficient.

For what it's worth, not only HTTP(S) load balancers went down. We have a couple TCP proxy load balancers that went down too.

It is (was?) definitely a load balancer issue. We had multiple load balancers on completely different DNS providers fail.

It seems things are gradually coming back. All of our load balancers started working again.

I wondered why our alerts started going nuts. Seems like basically every global Google Cloud load balancer went down. Doesn't seem to affect single-region network load balancers. Edit: All of ours are back up. Some other services still
