On: Cloudflare took down our website

Of course not

You put yourself in a bad spot. We can either kick you out or work (for a price) to help you.

Extortion ? Hardly. Nobody work for free, you know.

But end users do not speak to filesystems.

Programs speak to filesystems.

He is right, tho : many network guys are .. just dumb.

And I know what I am talking about: I am one of them :)

People who fails to adapt because "it is new" has no place in IT. The only skill required to work in IT is a great ability to adapt.

[tsimionescu → JackSlateur]

But that's just it: it's not failing to adapt. It's avoiding doing too much extra work.

If IPv6 were a simple replacement for all things IPv4, and you simply had to learn IPv6 instead of IPv4, no one would complain.

But you need to learn IPv6 in addition to IPv4, in almost all areas of networking. The complexity adds up, it isn't replaced.

[JackSlateur → tsimionescu]

Well, yes, just like I learned k8s but still know iproute2 and I still use tcpdump and curl despite knowing how to debug http requests using the web console

And I still manage ipsec tunnels and NAT and I still have to know things about OSPF, even tho I learned BGP more than 10 years ago

In the real world, you cannot simply replace things in the blink of a eye. This is not possible unless you are working in your own, fully-managed environment, never talking to other people (which is a good but scarse position)

ifconfig is deprecated for years, and this has nothing to do with ipv4 nor ipv6 Checkout iproute2 and its impressive feature list

Pretty simple indeed Will it rewrite all my hardware, without it nothing will work ?

No You'd need a full rewrite at the parser level

As everybody said : ipv4 cannot be made compatible with larger addr space

On: NetBSD bans use of Copilot-generated code

[JackSlateur]

This is not a license violation per-se

They must send the source to their clients. They have nothing obligations to keep all of their clients.

There is no renewable energy, only moved entropy

One server = one feature = one library version

That's the golden rule for easy upgrades, sane dependencies managements (both technicals and organisationals)

There is no good reason to not spawn hundreds or thousands of VMs : just do it, make your life easier and stop bothering with a whole bunch of issues

You may "booh" me. But in the end, you know I'm right : who won, the 80' era supercomputer, or the k8s/serverless world ? Yeah

On: Attackers can decloak routing-based VPNs

[JackSlateur]

There are lots of ways to disable vpn : basic firewall on the router, if you have access ARP poisoning if you do not.

[Aloisius → JackSlateur]

Yes, but this disables a user's VPN without alerting the user.

Firewalling off their VPN service would cause a visible connection failure.

I'm working on a r&d team dedicated to finding ways to repair modern cars at scale

As such, we get lots of car, mostly EV (but not only), up to 100k€/u

The Telsas are indeed not the worst

They are still boring af and not in the top of the basket
