> * You're really supposed to pick a random prefix in fd00::/8, but uniqueness only matters if you intend to merge networks with somebody else later, I care more about it being easy to remember.
If you don't care about collision resistance, why didn't you pick fd00:: ? That's way easier to remember than that jumble of letters you selected. It's actually my go-to subnet when someone claims that local-only IPv6 addresses are "hard to remember". fd00::1 is notably shorter than 10.0.0.1.
I'm pretty sure that you can use both. RAs even have bits to indicate if one is supposed to autoconfigure, [0] hit up a DHCPv6 server for some or all configuration, [1] or both. radvd refers to them as AdvAutonomous and AdvOtherConfigFlag/AdvManagedFlag, respectively.
This is exactly what I do. Almost everything has a nice DHCPv6 address so that I can actually remember the ULA + the suffix, but then for the two devices on my network that don't do DHCPv6 they get a SLAAC. One oddity though is that it means most devices on my network have both a SLAAC and a DHCP-provided one, since I wasn't able to be able to get it to prioritize a DHCP. Combine that with them having both ULA addresses and public addresses and some stuff on my network have way more addresses than you'd expect
So I decided to use Free Range Cloud service provider to lease a /48, which cost me around C$10/year. I also used their tunnel service to then route this over to me.
The link embedded in the pull quote is [0], which isn't maximally helpful, but it's useful. Approximately 60 seconds of poking around there brings us to [1], which quotes a "ARIN - /48 IPv6 lease ... Use on our network or yours" for $8/year with a $2 setup fee. That sounds a lot like what's mentioned in TFA.
> [T]he security model on Unix (and Linux) is to trust your applications
If that were true, httpd (and all other system daemons) would be run as root and neither the 'nobody' user and group nor the various security-related X11 extensions would exist.
Anyone who has worked in this field for more than a few years (regardless of their era of entry) knows that nontrivial programs are faulty and can happen to or be induced to do things that are harmful in varying degrees to the operation of the computer that runs them.
> ...you are required to have your trades be instantly reported and be public the nanosecond you make them.
That doesn't do anything at all to remedy the situation. Better would be to require trades by insiders (and the particulars of those trades) to be locked in and publicly announced at least seven calendar days in advance. You need not announce the reason for the trade, but you must announce the amount of whatever it is you're selling and/or buying and the date at which the transaction will happen.
Yes, I'm aware of the whole "scheduled stock sale" thing that folks at a certain level have to do when trading in the stock & etc of the company they work for. IMO, that should be mandatory for all employees and their families.
Correct me if I misunderstand what you're trying to do:
What you want to do is -on each LAN that has a Switch that you want to play on your specific Minecraft server- report that the IP for the hostname of the Minecraft server the Switch would ordinarily connect to is the server that you're hosting?
If you're using OpenWRT, it looks like you can add the relevant entries to '/etc/hosts' on the system and dnsmasq will serve up that name data. [0] I'd be a little shocked (but only a little) if something similar were impossible on all non-OpenWRT consumer-grade routers.
My Switch 1 is more than happy to use the DNS server that DHCP tells it to. I assume the Switch 2 is the same way.
I can do that for my network - but the group is multiple kids that play from their home. I'm not going to teach all of those parents how to mess with their network. There's just way too many things that can go wrong. Also, won't work if the kid is traveling.
What's that smell? It smells like a high-tech 1980's NFL playing field in here. Wild.
> Most countries are looking at social media bans, and there is a deep groundswell of public opinion against tech today.
Not sure what this has to do with laying the groundwork for an Internet Posting License, but sure.
I expect that if Big Tech wasn't shoving LLMs up every available nook and cranny, wasn't using a shocking amount of money, power, and land for said LLMs, and wasn't firing tons of people in order to spend more money on those LLMs, people would be far, far less angry.
> I know of posts on reddit where people are asking for help reporting and taking down NCII...
NCII? [0] Why would anyone want to take down or report that? Is this some new acronym for "kiddy porn"? Those seem to change every year or two.
> Is that what comes up for you when you search for NCII?
Nope. That link appears nowhere in the first or second page of results on Kagi. There's one link on the first page that might be related? All the others are mostly the NCII (which appears first), along with a smattering of other businesses whose name is also that acronym.
The first Facebook-related link (which appears on the second page) is this one [0]. I don't think I'm blessed to get these results, I think we work in different industries. ;)
> Point is, when you see every democracy passing these laws, it isn't Meta.
Sure. And the outpouring of support for ratification of OOXML as an ISO standard wasn't motivated by Microsoft. Nor was the large influx of new "P" members who arrived just in time to vote to adopt OOXML. Absolutely.
The fact that those "P" members refused to meet their obligations to cast a vote in any later ballots (resulting in the failure of several key ballots, bringing ISO to a standstill) only strengthens the claim that their actions were genuine grassroots activity. No. Doubt.
Megacorps never use their massive gobs of money and influence to co-opt processes that require all participants to mostly operate in good faith. Nope.
> States take years and years to make policy change.
The USian post-9/11 hysteria would like to have a word with you. Authoritarians rarely miss an opportunity to manufacture (or inflame) a crisis in order to present their pre-prepared rules changes that just happen to further expand their power and influence.
> I think the state's true goal is more about foreign influence. ... From the perspective of the state, they already know who you are when posting domestically.
Not in the US, no. Not without a fair bit of legwork. Though, I don't know much about the situation on the ground in countries like Britain and Germany. Perhaps things are so now bad there that you need to attach your Posting Loicense/Papers to everything you post, IDK.
> What they're gaining is an enhanced ability to ban externals from posting.
Yeah, here it is. "Keep those fuzzy foreigners out of our discussions!".
For the sake of discussion, let's assume that banning and/or jailing "Those People" is a reasonable thing to want to do. [0] The problem with this is that once you deploy and normalize this sort of "social technology", it always, always creeps further. Today it's "dangerous foreigners" with their "subversive ideologies". Five, ten years from now, it's whoever is the equivalent of today's LGBT&etc underclass.
[0] It's absolutely not. The remedy for bad speech is more speech. The remedy for falsehood is truth. The remedy for invalid attempts to sow discontent is to show how those attempts are not grounded in fact.

Yes - Meta is most definitely taking advantage of the situation, but it’s surfing the waves, not generating them.

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this defense (more speech) has been defeated.
We (humanity) have developed attacks that avoid these defenses. Our defenses were primarily against government control of data. The current attacks leverage the mechanized production of speech, and achieve influence via an abundance of content.
Between attention seeking algorithms, the death of classifieds and the revenue sources for independent journalism, the creation of party+media entities, and actual foreign influence operations - theres a surfeit of content traps to catch voters up. “Flood the zone”, so to speak.
It’s very similar to the sub prime mortgage/ NINJA loan scenario: On the one hand you have professional teams / media market makers which specialize in figuring out content that works. On the other side you have the average joe who is entering the marketplace with their wits and experience.
This iteration of the market place of ideas result in unfair fights between the average person, and whichever entity decides they have the money to spend.
> ...this defense (more speech) has been defeated.
Very loud incorrect buzzer
The minute humans gathered into groups larger than one could talk in-depth to in a week -let alone a year- we've had the "too much information" problem. So, we've had that problem for hundreds or thousands of years. It's nothing new.
Censorious authoritarians want to convince people that it's new and that the best solution is (obviously) to curtail free speech and association, but that's also nothing new.
Facial hair prevents the proper functioning of gas masks and other sorts of PPE that sits on your face. Hypothetically speaking, [0] I'd rather deal with looking like a minor than with getting a snoot and face full of something dreadfully toxic.
[0] Hypothetical because I'm way too old to ever be confused with a minor again.
You referred to joining the US military as an E-1 at the age of 42 as a career path. As an Army brat, I can tell you that it absolutely is not. At that age, it absolutely is a job of last resort.
If you don't care about collision resistance, why didn't you pick fd00:: ? That's way easier to remember than that jumble of letters you selected. It's actually my go-to subnet when someone claims that local-only IPv6 addresses are "hard to remember". fd00::1 is notably shorter than 10.0.0.1.
