    Christ. This again. Sometimes people just want to geek out and talk about technical things, this isn't rocket science, is it? Yes, those people mostly do realize the importance of …

    It's gotten to the point that the moment I see "Rust" and "TUI" together, I immediately assume it's vibe coded. The combination just seems to be vibe coders' favorite, for some rea…

    Obviously, XZ happened on Debian. But $malware can occur on any Linux distribution at any time. For a recent example just look at Arch Linux. Also, are we still assuming that we wo…

    It is disturbing, and it is hard to blame them. Given the political climate nowadays, I guess it's really hard to tell what is satire and what is real anymore. Sometimes I see bats…

    Communist governments often prefer to use expressions that are more down-to-earth and colloquial, due to their populist root. It could be related to that, or just a matter of North…

    Don't let the year deceive you; IPv6, while designed in the 90s, was considered launched since only 2012.

    Did you just miss the headline a few days ago, that IPv6 adoption has reached 50%? You might be right if IPv6 adoption stayed at 10% or so. But the current trend suggests that soon…

    I doubt it honestly. Most people are connecting to sites like Youtube, Instagram etc., which do actually support IPv6. It's how I get 60~80% IPv6 traffic on my home network. A grea…

    In some cases the built-in firmware is very barebones, just enough to get U-boot to load up and do the rest of the job.

    Unfortunately it's you who feels that way. Because you never realized that third world countries are being hurt by IPv4 address space depletion. The lack of self awareness is appal…

    The fact that we are giving IP addresses an hierarchy is stupid. If you don't want outsiders to connect to your device use a firewall.

    If bad routers etc. makes you think IPv6 is bad... then man, I think for me IPv4 is a mountain of shite. But my comment was not directed at you, more so towards those people who lo…

    Pretending that 0-9A-Z is somehow comparable to 行 or ∮ is quite daring, I will give you that. And once again: any anti-IPv6 people could have already learned proper IPv6, if they d…
