If you really wanted you to could keep you old addressing scheme in IPv6 (arbitrary IPv4 addresses can be embedded into IPv6), you can disregard all best IPv6 practices about subnetting and do everything like you did for IPv4, DHCP and all,

But IPv4+ is incompatible, so it requires to maintain two network stacks until reasonably everything has moved over to it. You need to duplicate the configuration for DNS, routing, firewalls etc., exactly as for dual stack IPv6. I don'

Jool also has the best documentation I've ever seen. It does not only explain how to configure the software but it also has illustrated explanations that do a far better job than the actual RFCs in describing the motivation and use cas

It's very aptly named: if you keep the "pattern" close to 1 and slowly decrease the "disorder" you can even see a sort of second order phase transition.

There probably is one already: this method is so old that the documentation of privoxy shows[1] how to defeat it. I can confirm it works: their example[2] website says I've visited 61996 times. [1]: https://www.privoxy.org&#

I had the same thought some time ago and went looking for alternatives to the 5P5C connector. It turns out they exist and are used in industrial applications, like the "ix Industrial" [1], precisely because how fragile the standar

Is anyone seriously using prefixes above Giga, besides for counting bytes or boasting numbers in popular science articles? In physics, in practice you either state the number in exponential notation and don't care abut it or for brevit

Yes, if you're counting the heat output as part of the useful energy, but parent was specifically talking about converting electricity into heat and back again.

I don't see any risks particular to privoxy: it's a piece of software that has bugs like any other, browsers and extensions included.

I must do my usual shilling for privoxy here. You can implement the better part of this extension with a few privoxy actions: # redirect twitter to nitter {+redirect{s@https?://(mobile.)?twitter.com@https://nitter.

Not entirely true, there are many ways in which you can use a custom location and still take advantage of the binary cache. You can do it with chroot, file system namespaces, bind mounts and so on. There's also a nice user friendly too

I hope this doesn't turn into an IPv4/IPv6 situation, but it looks like it's directly headed that way. Without a proper transition mechanism companies won't implement SHA-256 because there's no demand for it and use

LD_PRELOAD and hooking the libc syscall wrappers doesn't seem very reliable. It won't work on static binaries, it depends on the user not clearing the environment and there are also many programs that use the syscall directly, byp

I'm sure how you're getting to this conclusion. GoboLinux filesystem hierarchy just separates executables and shared objects by name and version [1]; unlike the standard FHS where everything goes into /usr/lib, /usr
