Aldipower··on WTF Ubuntu?
Why do you ask such simple and obvious questions!? :-P

nft add table ip cve_2026_98432

nft add chain ip cve_2026_98432 pre '{ type filter hook prerouting priority -300; }'

nft add rule ip cve_2026_98432 pre meta l4proto tcp ip hdrlength gt 5 counter drop

Aldipower··on WTF Ubuntu?
Calm down, man. I think Ubuntu is doing o.k. here. What is pretty bad that people cannot read advisories anymore and fix there machines, instead crying for their mama (in this case Ubuntu).

Use this firewall rule and you are fine - it blocks the tcp options negoation - and things remain working of course: ` nft add table ip cve_2026_98432 nft add chain ip cve_2026_98432 pre '{ type filter hook prerouting priority -300; }' nft add rule ip cve_2026_98432 pre meta l4proto tcp ip hdrlength gt 5 counter drop `

Aldipower··on Rosettes and Other Hidden Traces of Hamburg's Tram
Hamburg’s urban planners in the 1950s and 1960s looked to Los Angeles’ urban planning as a major model and even flew to California countless times to exchange ideas and, in particular, to learn about car-friendly urban planning, as Los Angeles had already implemented it at that time. One result of this was the dismantling of the tram system described here, but also, particularly in Hammerbrook, the viaducts and the East-West Street in the city center. However, many planned "atrocities" were actually prevented by citizen initiatives! For example, the Osterbek and Goldbek Canals were to be converted into an urban highway with a tunnel under the Inner Alster. No joke!

Aldipower··on Creating a Garmin "MCP"
Yeah and overall it is a mature platform for endurance sport planning.
Aldipower··on Ask HN: What is the current trajectory of a senior engineer?
For what reason should this be useful and also affordable for smaller businesses which just a bunch of employees? Or the SaaS owner like I am?

What you describe sound extremely expensive, even from a future perspective. It doesn't make any sense. And for larger businesses who can afford things, we already have quasi automated date-centers from AWS and others.

Aldipower··on Ask HN: What is the current trajectory of a senior engineer?
My wallet can't.
Aldipower··on Ask HN: What is the current trajectory of a senior engineer?
That drives my car, orders the parts and builds the server?
Aldipower··on Ask HN: What is the current trajectory of a senior engineer?
Next week I will power on a physical server in a colocation. The server is a vertical scale running my SaaS that I developed over the years and needs more space now. Sure, LLMs help me now with a lot of things. Coding, server commissioning, marketing, etc., but I simply cannot image how the LLM drives my car to the colocation and plugs the server in?!? How should this work? And who is responsible at all in the end? Responsibility? And renting something "automatic" like AWS would cost 20-30 times more btw. This is not an option.
Aldipower··on Why Sweden is abandoning its cashless society
Sure, that would be good, but that's not how Germany does it. Germany looks at the early adopters, doesn't wait, but needs 5-10 years for execution and then cannot revert it anymore, because so many parties are involved implementing this.
Aldipower··on Why Sweden is abandoning its cashless society
In Germany we like to mimic things from other western countries a lot. Especially the nordics (including Sweden) and the US. Problem, we do this with a delay of 5-10 years. Right now we are in the transformation process of becoming cashless.. Like our role model Sweden. Hmm, something feels wrong.. :-)

You are the prototype of the jealous HN commenter.
Aldipower··on Making big downloads resumable in Firefox
Also downloads or any other http call trough a service worker cancels at exactly 30 (sic!) seconds in Firefox. What were they thinking?
Aldipower··on A Modern Web App in C
> CGI gives you a single web server that calls your business logic directly. It's clear who does what.

One could simply put a Node.js server directly on the line. And then it is crystal clear who calls the business logic. I mean, there are reasons why we use Nginx in front of it. Distribution, filtering, rate limiting, etc..

BTW, the cgi-bin competitor back in the days was JavaScript too with the Netscape Communication/Enterprise Server that supported server-side dynamic JavaScript in 1997! Funny enough. :-)

Aldipower··on The RAM shortage is bringing back DDR4
I just bought a ~10 years old SuperMicro 1U server with 2x 24 cores of Intel's E5. For ... 250 Euros. Really cheap, hehe. Then I had to buy second-hand 128GB DDR4 ECC for 400 Euro and 4x 3,84 TB Datacenter SSDs for 2000 Euros, second-hand of course.

I mean it somehow still feels cheep, if I watch the prices for new hardware.

But it took me days to create this upper mentioned system from all the different sellers and different sources on eBay. There is no "cheap" one-click solution with included guarantee anymore.

Aldipower··on Mistral Large 4
You are laughing. Until it happens to you! :-)

Despite Opus 5.5 got really bad the last days for me. Looks like they nerfed it again. This is extremely unreliable.
Aldipower··on Friendship ended with Deno, now Node is my best friend
I have more than one friend.
Aldipower··on Fuck Android Developer Verification Program
I won't call it exactly legacy.. Nerds still provide an attractive market. :-)
Aldipower··on Fuck Android Developer Verification Program
yes, with the File System API, it needs user permission though (which is a good thing).
Aldipower··on Tcl/Tk 9.1
That's a bummer. Now I have to start over. </s>
Aldipower··on Tcl/Tk 9.1 Released
This is very cool! The name alone. :-)
Aldipower··on Tcl/Tk 9.1
I once had an O'Really book named 'Perl/Tk'. I mean, I still have it somewhere... I've the feeling reading through it will maybe become my AI recovery therapy at some point?
Aldipower··on Ask HN: Who's still keeping a DOS machine up because the business depends on it?
The Detusche Bahn still runs DOS and Window 3.11 in their ICE I trains! They searched for admins 2 years ago. https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/ms-dos-and-win...
Aldipower··on Opus 5.5 is good at explainer videos
You got all that from two sentences? I think you are reading a bit too much into it.
Aldipower··on Opus 5.5 is good at explainer videos
Sure.
Aldipower··on Opus 5.5 is good at explainer videos
This is the next level of PowerPoint presentations. I just had a look at the example videos. Really, what is gained here?

Back in the days, when I made websites or home pages for clients, my first question was: "What's your message you want to tell with your website?" Sometimes the client couldn't answer this, because he simply wanted a website for the sake of having a website. But a website without a message is meaningless more or less.
