Well, it's just the natural extension of the FHS convention to the home directory. I didn't come up with this idea, though, I think I saw this in a reddit thread and started doing it myself: I like that the directories are visible

Hi, author here: whether it's a valid use case depends on your level of OCD, but the difference compared to symlinks or bind mounts is that you will have a clean home: e.g. `ls -la` won't show any "hidden" files. Also, c

Right, the ULA prefix theoretically has lower preference, so it should only be selected to reach hosts in the LAN and the GUA for everything else, but I don't know how well softwares handle this in practice.

Well, delegated IPv6 prefixes are supposed[1] to be static or somewhat persistent, but some ISPs do this, yes. This is most likely a practice carried over from IPv4 where there is a small pool of addresses. Fortunately in my experience it&#

You should have just disabled temporary addresses, they don't make a lot of sense on a server.

Ok, I'll bite: why do you say that IPv6 lacking NAT (which is not true by the way) would be annoying? We can finally get rid of an ugly workaround from 30 years ago that broke one core principle of the Internet (end-to-end connectivity

I interpreted "services with only IPv6 addresses" as IPv6-only servers, in which case some sort of translation is needed, but if these are just processes in a dual stack server, then yes.

Yes, but browsers moan if you connect to a website without https, no matter if it's on localhost or an onion service.

6to4 solves a different problem: it's a way to provide IPv6 internet access to some host with only IPv4 internet access. It's basically a VPN you need to configure on the client. NAT64 and SIIT (what Jool and af-to are implementin

The point of Jool and similar tools (there is also one called Tayga that runs in userspace, if you want) is to translate network traffic between multiple hosts, where some only have IPv6 and others only IPv4 addresses. If your machine has b

by rnhmjoj 9mo ago
Yes, translating packets between IPv6 and IPv4 is precisely what Jool does. From what you're describing I think you have to options: if you have enough IPv4 addresses at your disposal to cover your IPv6-only machines, you can use the s

I didn't know BSD had an IPv4/IPv6 translation mechanism built-in. On Linux the state of the art seems to be Jool[1], which is unfortunately an out-of-tree kernel module. IIUC, they currently share the limitation of not being able

No, because x/y is just an arbitrary operation between x and y. Here you're assuming that 1/x is the inverse of x under *, but it's not.

Sandboxing on the Linux desktop is far from common and the flatpak security is kind of a joke [1] [2], unless something changed recently. For starters, it's the application that has to ask to be sandboxed, so if I were to make a malici

There are no excuses, this protocol is just terrible: it could have been made much much more secure without any kind of virtualisation or sandboxing. For example, the kernel could be used[1] to store the secrets in memory and only authorize

Yes, it's 100% a security theatre. Programs aren't even allowd to set their own icon because it's not considered secure, I'm not joking. The reasoning goes something like: what if a malicious program set its name to &quo

Nah, it's huge, you just have to remember the best result so far: the JET DTE-3 record that produced the energy to boil 60 tea kettles in a whopping 5 seconds pulse.

by rnhmjoj 10mo ago
This would be very optimistic, essentially the project meeting its main goal, I'm not sure why you're calling it dark comedy. A 20 minutes pulse alone would mean the fuel injection, aux heating, plasma control systems and the dive

There's a more cursed one here: https://rgbcu.be/blog/htmnix . It hijacks the Nix search paths syntax (e.g. import <path> {}) to create html tags.

We are still trying to solve the problem that we can't keep the plasma hot long enough to create fusion energy, so working on exotic conversion schemes is one step too far. Consider also how complex these reactors already are, it makes

Yes, the L^p spaces are not vector spaces of functions, but essentially equivalent classes of functions that give the same result in an Lebesgue integral. For these reason, common operations on functions, like evaluating at a point or takin
