I don't disagree, but privacy extensions do not solve the problem of tracking, only alleviate it since there are still ways to be tracked. In any case believe a stateful solution like DHCPv6 is better for deployment anyway.

I think IPv6 privacy extensions are a bit overrated in their usefulness. What I mean, at least for most residential deployments, is that the first 64 bits (the prefix) is the same no matter what you do with the last 64. Even if the exact IP

You'd think that a technology-oriented magazine like wired would at least try to aim for cross-browser compatibility in their infrastructure. But why bother, make your CMS Chrome-only a policy and free yourself of extra testing. And it

I can't decide if titling it "Restoring Internet Freedom" is a perverse sense of humour or just blatant effrontery.

This is kind of the feeling I have too. I remember firefox in the 2.x and 3.x days when you could do practically anything XUL and XPCOM. I also remember that firefox was dead slow back then. Although I am kind of dissapointed that so much f

Exactly! Microtransactions are there to grab the big spenders. Mobile "games" follow this pattern to the extreme. For example some guy spent $1M playing a mobile game ([0] and HN discussion [1]). Honestly I don't understand w

I wish they made their existing service work the same on all platforms. HD content is practically not available on Linux (HDCP issues) and half-works on Windows (works on my desktop but not on my laptop although both should be HDCP complian

I've played a lot of my games in my life so far but very few, if any, have matched the thrill of landing on Mun for the first time (and making it back).

Too bad all they offer is a single IP, or a /127 to be exact. Very strange decision.

Almost all journals have an RSS feed. I just subscribe to a dozen or so major journals. Add a web feed reader as well you can skim through them easily, or save up the more interesting ones for later.

There was a similar idea but with images instead of video some 10 years ago [0]. Most pixels were sold within 6-7 months or so. [0]: http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/

A light but featureful alternative to omz is also the grml zsh configuration [0]. I've been using it since 2011 or so and I've probably touched my .zshrc once or twice. If you fancy some colors you can also add some syntax highlig

It should but it doesn't (or didn't). Up to recently there was practically no investigation on such cases and tax evasion on such circles was rampant. You drive a BMW, run a private clinic in an expensive area in Athens and your a

Exactly the same thing happens in Greece. It used to be very common for shop-owners to "forget" to give you the receipt. After the crisis broke up though people are way more likely to ask for receipts as there are some incentives

CtrlP [1] with its fuzzy search is really a delightful way to move around projects with many files. If you have an extraordinary amount of files you can also add ag [2] in the mix [3] for faster searching/grepping. [1]: https:/&#

Mandrake got me into Linux some 12 years ago and it was an excellent effort in general. Quite accessible to the new user and lots of documentation. I have also used briefly Mandriva back in the day before moving to Ubuntu. I believe Mageia

I believe the whole argument with the german postwar debt is a bit weak, the conditions are much more different now. I don't particularly like how it is being repeated over and over again, especially here (greece), as it misses the who

It will take time. For example carbon nanotubes are now finding their way into production, and have gone through a similar craziness phase some 10-15 years ago but are far from the "wonder material" the press has presented them to

If you run a server you pretty much need to expose your IP one way or another anyway, even in IPv4. Well, I suppose you can use something like dynamic dns but still... I totally agree, though, anonymity is not part of IP. I was not implying

You can still track the prefix though. In a standard /64 deployment only the suffix will change so there is still some information leaking if you have a static prefix (obviously, as in static IPv4). However, my ISP defaults to dynamic

I may be slightly OT but to me it's kinda sad that the internet is increasingly being built around closed platforms instead of open APIs/protocols. Especially in the IM scene there must be a ton of services incompatible with each

Most of the time the information is already in the wiki. And it's nice how the installation guide covers every corner case. I smoothly migrated my laptop from a simple installation to luks+lvm, just by following the guide. You can act
