Splunk logs of traffic. It’s pretty common at the corporate level.

Are other companies much better in this regard?

Yep! This is exactly it.

Is that for power deliver, or signaling?

As mentioned in another comment, it’s also close to the safety limit for low voltage systems. IMO solar pioneered (in recent history) 48V DC systems, which is an easy multiple of 1…

I send all my old stuff for recycling now and get a gift card in return. They just did this for my ancient iPad that won’t even run the latest iPadOS. I go on a site, pop in the se…

Prefacing saying this is just my experience. I sent back a down jacket which weighed practically nothing and packed down extremely small. However, harvesting the down is somewhat c…

I think this is it as well. I have a card, and do 0% payments. It’s not that bad, but I see how it could be confusing.

I forget who owns Black Diamond, but they're kind of similar. They haven't fully replaced the product, but what is cool is that they have a repair shop that has been doing free rep…

I would assume they said their market research said otherwise. Personally, I have 0 interest in glasses, but a lot in quality, privacy respecting VR. Just not $3500 of it. I would …

It’s pretty evident at this point that any Russian citizen in Russia or with family in Russia can be coerced, and it’s also pretty clear that Putin specifically does not have good …

I mean, storage might be an easier option ;) There are many alternatives, but I have a 10kWh LiFePO4 pack that is sufficient for my house 95% of the time. There have been great str…

I think the OC was arguing that if your global /64 changes, the firewall rules would change as well for any hosted services. I proposed that you might be able to route the external…

Could you NAT the router WAN external address and route it to a static ULA? I think the more elegant solution is to use static IP space for hosting services, but most of us home us…

Oh, interesting. My machines have not had good mDNS support, so I have been hardcoding ULAs for LAN-only traffic.

Yep! That's a great point! I forgot that LEO encompasses quite a bit of difference as well. Starlink has been in the news lately, so that's mostly where my mind was. I believe the …

Not to mention debris can be in GEO for a long, long time. People worry about LEO constellations causing Kessler syndrome, but the reality is that LEO debris deorbits in the order …

> Congrats, now these hosts can't talk to each other due to the ULA addresses being less preferred. What do you mean by this? Are you taking about mDNS still referencing the withdr…

STUN also isn’t guaranteed if the router is strict. IPv6 removes a lot of these unknown and strange ways that IPv4 infrastructure can break things.

It’s a little different though in that rather than an IP having a bad reputation, it’s usually a /64. That’s how I have seen IPv6 reputation managed since it’s a common network sli…

Why do dynamic address allocations matter? Most IPv4 consumer WAN addresses are also dynamic. I’m asking, because I’m an advocate of having your gateway advertise a separate, stabl…

> Creatives are getting more and more frustrated with the AI tools showing up in places like Windows or in Photoshop. I would be careful about bias here. The loudest people are oft…

I think so, but fewer people use it in that orientation when reading.

We are playing God now by artificially and dramatically altering Earth’s set point.

Someone gave me an analogy some time ago that made a lot of sense. If you shine a flashlight through a tree blowing in the wind and vary the brightness to convey information, the s…
