Does that actually extend to Slack/slack-like things though? Since I would see Slack more of a replacement for phone calls or hallway discussions. Neither of which typically has any logs or recordings (and I wouldn't want to work

Not really a fan of the Slack or Discord user interface myself, but there are modern looking web clients for IRC such as thelounge[0] or kiwiirc[1] that might be what you are after. [0] https://thelounge.chat/ [1] https:&#

Several IRC servers do have support for authentication and access control (and audit trails as well I suppose). Only centralized history/logging and search would need to be bolted on if needed. In the non-centralized case your IRC clie

Regarding the expensive shipping in the EU point. That really depends on the country one is shipping from. Shipping from Germany is extremely cheap - even internationally (even cheaper than the rates you mentioned). But shipping the same th

Not sure if that also exists in the Netherlands, but maybe a worker cooperative as company form could be a solution for the equity problem?

Would be good to name them publicly and/or perhaps have some investigative journalists of your choice poke them a bit. Doing nothing and just giving up doesn't make corruption go away.

If you only use autoconfiguration perhaps, but for manually assigned addresses it's really not too bad since one can structure them in a logical way (which would be extremely expensive to do in the IPv4 case). If you are a company you

I think you will be surprised on how much stuff will break in mysterious ways. And that it will create a nightmare to actually operate. But even if we pretend it will just work there is the still the issue that IPv4-only hosts cannot talk t

> It’s an entirely new network. IPv4 only hosts are not reachable on the IPv6 net. It replaces rather than extends IP, and I can’t figure out why they did that. IPv6 cannot be an extension of IPv4 since IPv4 is not forward-compatible. It

The same is true of IPv6? There is really nothing deeply magical there that takes forever to understand. Maybe be a bit more concrete about what's so much more complicated about IPv6 than IPv4..

For the low end there are things like neocities.org that provide free hosting and are supporter financed (and not via advertising). Then there are also things like github pages, netlify pages, etc. that also provide free site hosting.

Is it really a problem though? Was there a lack of content in the times before the commercial Internet (or the Internet itself really.. in the time of BBSes)? And there are things like Patreon as well..

Even before the end of last year it was limited to exactly one last /22 per LIR for a few years already. The pool that was set aside for that last allocation was depleted at the end of last year. Now they are limited to handing out &#x

by welterde 6y ago
Ever since the big RIRs (like RIPE) have run out of IPv4 addresses to allocate - which was a couple years ago (ARIN was out 2015; and RIPE ran out end of last year - and that was already with quite restrictive allocation policies).

That doesn't sound quite right to be honest - do you have a source for that? I don't even see what possible rational there could be for such a change. Most native v6 consumer already have firewalls for IPv6 in the CPE which block

There is the steam linux environment [1] which is pretty standard for native linux builds on steam. And that works independently of the distribution steam is actually installed on. I think it should be possible to use it without steam too..

Doing this without being noticed will be somewhat difficult to do though. Passive sniffing is likely not going to be enough since opportunistic TLS usage is on the rise..

Might give GlobalFoundries another crack at their 7nm technology. Currently they are stuck at 14nm at their US fab and 12nm at their German fab (they rolled that out last year iirc).

Ideally one always has OOB (out of band) access to all devices to make sure one can always recover from any error, such as messing up firewall config or similar. But there are transactional network management tools that can automatically ro

There is no need to have anyone on call yourself to drive to the colo, since any decent colocation provider will have staff on-site 24/7 to perform any physical intervention required. Part of that you pay through your colocation bill a

Classical web hosting still exists. Probably even has less vendor lock-in and is less likely to bankrupt you if someone posts the small utility web app on HN.

None of those large radio telescopes were ever really in the game of detecting near earth asteroids. For that large optical survey telescopes, such as PTF, ZTF, PanSTARRS and the future LSST (and many more) are much more important. However

UTC is defined to be within 1s of mean solar time at 0deg longitude (= UT1). If leap seconds are a problem for the intended application then UTC is the wrong thing to use. There are other scales that are defined differently that can be used
295.
by welterde 6y ago
Pretty much all telescopes (under computer/time control) on this planet rely on UTC being quite close to UT1, since every second difference leads to a 15 arcsecond error in the pointing of the telescope (error between where you want to

Depends on your scale.. As soon as you start to have to resort to overlapping private IPv4 networks it really starts to get fun if you have to connect certain things together that weren't planned to be able to reach each other initiall

Then you are missing the chance to simplify things though. In IPv6 most ISPs (except very large ones) are assigned one /32, which they can then subdivide how it fits their network. Every LAN gets it's own /64 (now one could d

That's only really an alternative for long-running applications since it still seems quite tedious to do if I am not missing anything (with modifying initial_program and all). Right now the workflow is simply ssh -X machine and then ru
