I’ve been waiting since the initial announcement. It’s gonna be so good!

I don’t think you understand. I know privacy extension is for outbound and not inbound, but what use is it on a server?

I think there’s some misunderstanding

I get how IPv6 works, I got a /48 from my ISP. The problem is that I have some 15 devices here that I have to refer to in DNS and either I have to change their static IPs or I have to change their IPs in DNS if the prefix ever changes (it shouldn’t, because I pay for them to not do that). My laptop, phone and desktop do not get a static IPv6 and use the privacy extension. Is that not how you’re supposed to do it?

if your prefix ever changes you’ll have to update it everywhere

I mean that’s a good point but I’m paying money to not have my prefix changed. If I were to do it the intended way using DNS, how would I set up the DNS to be prefix agnostic? How would I reference devices in the firewall?

Very useful, but I don’t understand concept 1, “Don’t pick numbers”.

If I’m right, it’s basically saying don’t do stuff manually, just let the computer do it. I kind of disagree with this. All of my fixed devices have a fixed IP that I manually assigned and derived from the original v4 schema I also have. For example 192.168.x.y becomes prefix::y

Am I misunderstanding something?

I do 🥰

That doesn’t solve the problem of me needing other peoples githubs repos on a VPS with no v4

Yeah let me self-host other peoples github repos because github doesn’t have IPv6 lmao dude

Yes but IPv4 is becoming expensive and it’s annoying having to use a middleman to clone github repos on a v6-only VPS

IPv6 is not hard, there is no excuse not to have it

I know you mean well but I’m honestly serious. I don’t have a house, debt or money. The most expensive thing I own is a store-bought bicycle.

We’re lower class people. My grandpa was dumped in the ocean and my grandma is in an unmarked grave. I haven’t seen my dad in a decade and I have no siblings. I won’t care because there’s nothing to care about.

e: This sounds way more depressing than I meant for it. Don’t take it like that, I’m happy. It’s just the reality that I’m not leaving anything of note behind for anybody to take.

I’m dead, I don’t care.

Do you know where I live? That isn’t legal here. It doesn’t just need approval, it needs to be installed by the power company and they’re not going to do that because they have massive tax incentives to only install systems that backflow into the grid during overproduction. Just to be clear: You are not allowed to have a closed system with panels over a certain combined size. You are not allowed to connect anything that backflows into your walls (for safety reasons, regardless of if the thing claims to turn itself off in a power outage). If you go all in and do it properly, the power company (monopoly, you have no choice) will simply tax you what they lost or, incase of backflow, tax you ‘transmission fees’ for whatever you would have earned.

The only people who have solar panels here are rich yuppies who want to virtue signal because it makes zero financial sense to have them. Right wing lobby groups have made sure that consumers and municipalities are disincentivized from running solar panels anywhere for any reason and illegal in any niches where it might’ve still made sense.

e: your downvotes do nothing; this is law, not opinion

This is several layers of illegal where I live

Yes. This was literally the concern I raised back when MS introduced this automatic zero-click bullshit and I was told I was paranoid; Microsoft would never let that happen! Now we’re here.

Dell does the same thing with some of their office keyboards. If you plug it in, you get zero-click PUP and it’s not trivial to delete.

I’ve seen AC temperature controllers in this form factor. The outer ring can spin and will let you turn the temperature up or down. It is usually part of a larger smart-home system but it doesn’t have to be.

And what’s that?

I could point out why, but I’d probably get banned

e: this is a dumb comment and I regret making it. What I was referring to was literally right in the opening of the article:

Eric Maurice, researcher at the European Policy Centre, said there are numerous factors behind the discontent.

‘‘It’s true that on the one hand, we can see in the election results a rise in the extremes, in the radical forces, on both the right and the left, with an increasingly uninhibited political language, in verbal violence, in ad hominem attacks in political debate too. And then a radicalisation, a polarisation of society and a difficulty in debating with political adversaries who often become enemies,’’ he said.

I read the title, made a bunch of assumptions and then posted my comment without reading the article.

I’m no expert but as far as I’ve understood it you need to generally have a very good understanding of the train you’re driving, equivalent to an actual engineering degree, because you’re the person who has to call central and tell them what’s wrong with your train when something happens and “It doesn’t go forward” isn’t useful.

Not exactly. It was far more in the past.

As soon as people complain about the cost of public transportation, point out the cost of subsidized private car ownership. If they deflect or move the goalpost, ignore them. You can’t sway them and trying will only make you both look dumb.
