Turn the tap off. Ask questions later. Stress test their data centre.

It’s absurd that they think they can just pay for the water they stole and call it square.

Recaptcha has gone from “make sure you’re not a robot” to “make sure you’re not blocking Google’s ad revenue”.

It’s literally called “IPv6 privacy extension”. It’s what it does.

Unless you’re in the middle and fowarding the packets, you won’t stumble across a connectable IPv6 endpoint.

Melbourne trams are better than Melbourne traffic.

The smallest possible subnet has 18.4 quintillion addresses.

You can’t scan it before encountering the heat death of the universe.

Outgoing connections are made on a different address that does not accept incoming connections. You never disclose your real IP when browsing.

So, no. It can’t be done.

They’re portscanning bots.

I made SSH IPv6-only and it stopped. You can’t scan IPv6 space for open ports.

I love a real pregramming blog. I actually wrote my own HTTP frontend for my NTP server. It uses the “new Date()” and doesn’t adjust for RTT.

My approach was for all static content to be cached, which is everything except for the raw timestamp. I also ensured the whole website would fit in a single TCP frame if it had to. No repeat round trips.

Here it is, anyway: https://ntp.ubermotive.com/

I should probably try to get better timing adjustment into it. The primary goal was more an exercise in golfing than anything else. The site is seriously small.

AI is “taking credit for the work of humans” all the way down.

I’m old enough to understand this reference.

Installed it this week on an old PC. It really is unusable at this point.

I selfhost mail and have no problem receiving. The only problem is spam. However I’ve found that just dropping anything that isn’t over TLS and passes SPF is fine. I don’t use a spam filter.

Fun fact: Australia’s youth social media ban was lobbied by crooked betting agencies so that they could run ads without restriction.

Not the strongest name. Sounds kinda weak.

Maybe “Photographic Image Manipulation Program”?

It’s a GNU program, not a Linux program. It runs on multiple platforms.

Interesting. I’m getting full marks on mxtoolbox but failing the same tests on this one.

We almost had to mention standard cars, which are also half the size.

In GrapheneOS, there’s a new RCS activation setting in “Sandboxed Google Play” -> “Play service permissions”.

I didn’t have RCS for years, and this feature fixed it. The fearure was just added in February.

They didn’t look all that advanced…

I’m an IPv6 sage and this shit is all retarded.

I wanted to get involved in a community project around Manhattan. Is there anything good going on?
