If you just want to play with IPv6 on a VM, most VM providers will offer a /64, which is enough to have an address per service on your machine. If you wanted to play with IPv6 on multiple subnets, you'll need something larger than

Great, and unexpected for Guix whose community and development seems heavily oriented to Emacs. One day I hope to return to Guix, I've never had such high introspection ability as with Guix.

I am not an AI doomer, nor overly concerned with AI risk, but this post isn't a good rebuttal to the AI doomers. It mostly says "Nuh-uh, you're all being stupid".

The usecase of providing ethernet to devices without wireless makes sense. I also hear about travel usecases for these, even for devices with wireless which I don't understand. Some cite security, which I don't understand. Which d

Though it's enabled by default, I consider the burden of proof to be to advocate for its utility. Would I opt into this if it was disabled by default? It has some utility, and some costs: traffic noise, some privacy leak, system comple

I tried it. It looks nice, but audio/video calls didn't work at all between two FluffyChat clients.

I trust the developer too, but the developer isn't the only person you must trust when you accept wide ambient permissions. You must also trust the entire supply chain. I see it as good hygiene to remove wide ambient permissions.

+1. I prefer to use uBlock Origin Lite, even on Firefox. The ambient permissions that uBlock Origin requires on all sites is too risky.

I've tried a few times. It always felt... clunky? I tried Element. UI felt slow, I was unable to find notifications in scrollback. Clicking the notification button would take me to random messages.

Alternative: use the iperf CLI tool with one of the servers listed on https://github.com/R0GGER/public-iperf3-servers . I prefer this, since I already use iperf to measure speed between hosts I manage.

I agree, it's not ready yet. What we see is a community forming, developing the software/protocols/skillsets needed to make Linux Mobile viable. It's expected that it's messy in the beginning. :)
