This might be the first time I've ever approved of the use of DRM

Unrelated to the question but I don't believe webm(matroska) is based on RIFF, webp is but that's separate.

Maybe it's just me but it feels like calling it anything other than Linux is just an UHM, ACKTUALLY. And that's saying something because I'm one of the most pedantic people I know.

What has the US government actively done to harm FOSS? Last I knew they contributed to and maintained several high profile FOSS projects. The NSA maintains Ghidra and other US agencies fund and contribute to tor.

Also while I do agree that the NSA is more likely to approach US based organizations and US citizens to include back doors willingly it doesn't stop them from attempting to covertly get back doors in place. Additionally let's not pretend like the US 3 letter agencies don't have agreements in place with their European counter parts to do cross border shenanigans. It's known that they do.

Genuine curiosity, why power shell?

I'm not sure I see the urgency? Plenty of organizations in the US love free software, OSU wouldn't be providing hosting if they didn't. Additionally most of Europe isn't exactly a bastion of privacy. There are certainly exceptions, notably Switzerland but the majority isn't that much better if you ask me. I'm also not entirely sure how privacy is all that relevant to where websites and source code is hosted, these projects aren't storing personal information. I think the important thing is that these projects are hosted and that funding is found. Where they're hosted is mostly irrelevant.

My machine says that network is unreachable

I'm surprised we don't all need help from the JS creator given the insanity of that languages type coercion system.

I guess I just feel like if you're manually configuring BTRFS you'll either use it like a regular FS, or you'll set it up to make use of the features in which case you'll probably setup both automatic snapshots and cleanup. Possibly with auto scrubbing too. I don't really see a situation where someone who manually opts to use it sets up snapshotting manually and then doesn't setup any form of cleanup.

If you're running btrfs manually and don't setup clean up scripts I'm slightly confused how you get into trouble in the first place since that also means there won't be any automated snapshots.

Personally I hate fighting with CSS and JS is...a language? No further comment. So having something that lets me avoid them for the most part sounds very appealing

Haven't used it, didn't know it existed, but I want to check it out now

 

TIL that apparently capital one was assigned the entire 2630::/16 block...which is the largest assignment I've seen to date. Does anyone know of other absolutely massive allocations...are there even any others this large?

 

I've been using duckduckgo for years ever since I degoogled but I'm increasingly annoyed by its complete lack of IPv6 connectivity. I use NAT64 and so it works fine but it bothers me to use services that don't have v6. Does someone have a good non-google IPv6 search engine that's privacy respecting?

I'm curious about something so I'm going to throw this thought experiment out here. For some background I run a pure IPv6 network and dove into v6 ignoring any v4 baggage so this is more of a devils advocate question than anything I genuinely believe.

Onto the question, why should I run a /64 subnet and waste all those addresses as opposed to running a /96 or even a /112?

  1. It breaks SLAAC and Android

let's assume I don't care for whatever reason and I'm content with DHCP, maybe android actually supports DHCP in this alternate universe

  1. It breaks RFC3306 aka Unicast-prefix-based multicast groups

No applications I care about are impacted by this breakage

  1. It violates the purity of the spec

I don't care

What advantages does running a /64 provide over smaller subnets? Especially subnets like a /96 where address count still far exceeds usage so filling subnets remains impossible.
