That's not security by obscurity. Security by obscurity if these servers could be reached if you knew their "real names". In case of NAT, no amount of information will let you access these machines, so it is proper security.

This makes exactly zero sense. So my home network appliances have public IPv6 addreases, but everything sent to these addresses is null routed? How does that work? At least with NAT there is a known set of rules regarding how masquerading w

I don't want to run a border firewall on my home network, because I am not devops, neither is my mother, who also has a home network, etc. The former sound like a management problem. One call from up above and access will appear.

by thriftwy 3y ago
Proper security is when everything is closed off and inaccessible by default. IPv6 where your home network or backend infrastructure is a transparent glass house is a failure by design. I hope I never get to be a DevOps and support that. Or

How old were you in 1991 and how much Soviet predatory behavior did you experience firsthand? If that was a valid way to reduce a discussion, I'd had it wrapped up five comments ago.

It does look like a better deal, but only quantitatively. Instead of being a sledgehammer of the empire you get to be a xylophone mallet. And not without its own drawbacks, as discussed elsewhere.

I don't know. You can find targeted assasinations done abroad by democratic regimes these days. Israel kills Iranian nuclear scientists more or less routinely. I mean, yes, that is tragic, but we have worse shit tolerated on our planet

"Big Excursion" happened in 1989. Berlin Wall fell in the same 1989. Does it ring any bells? I'm not sure why one would claim stuff happened in a Second World country in 1989 is not a part of its transition period. Ethnic cle

It happened in the middle of the transition period between uncontested communist rule and EU's unicorns and rainbows, and was not characteristic of what communist period's steady state looked like. It was characteristic of its fai

Why it didn't happen in 1949 then, or in 1959, or in 1969, or in 1979? What have changed? I can see a clear link between perestroikas and ethnic cleansings, but perhaps you can reason that away.

That now sounds like that Anarcho-Syndicalist dialogue from Monty Python's Holy Grail, where Arthur represses peasants by existing. And I'm absolutely no fan of communism. The hole in question that absolute majority of Bulgarians&

With "non-repressive attributes" you're continuing to dig the same hole I was talking about. I mean, come on.

I've never seen any research into the topic and I can't imagine you can have one, since you don't have control group. So I will assume you are conjuring facts out of thin air.

I agree with you, though I believe that live expectancy was very uneven back then. You want either modern medicine and sanitation, or low population density. The latter is very hard to combine with low wear and tear. So it's really

We didn't see much evolution of Homo Sapiens in the last 1000s of years. We had a lot of shaping by selection of existing traits but not that much long term evolution. We're essentially "running on the same hardware" as

You can turn that on the head and say human females have really short reproductive span. Human males don't, though. They're often reproductively capable at 60.

Wear and tear is the key, especially in the regions with winter. You don't want ot be without walls and heating during winter. In warm regions, perhaps HVAC / having at least rudimentary shade is equally important.

There's much less wear and tear on our bodies, now that we have roofs and HVACs and clothing and cars to move us around. That's how we live till 80 instead of 50. That plus nobody trying to hunt and eat us. Animals also live signi

Nominal GDP is a good indicator of quality of consumption whereas GDP PPP is a better indicator for potential of production. If the US worker is used to a home with a lawn, he will still be undercut by a Chinese worker who lives in a 25-sto

I believe the rationale here is that if you can source some gadget from China, it's going to be ten times cheaper than any alternative, since there's an enormous stock of those there used to to make other gadgets, therefore low
