_bernd··on The case of the slow-to-get-going Ethernet port
Tldr someone discovered STP.
_bernd··on OSS-SEC: 432 Linux kernel CVEs (in less than 32 hours)
Debian based systems can be queried if they need a reboot because of dpkg. But this was the same then 20 years ago....
_bernd··on Sonobe
Yeah a classic and indeed a beautiful one. I highly recommend to learn the module and craft the low count piece bodies. And if you need to meditate and build resilience try to build the huge shape :-)
_bernd··on Uber moves to acquire Delivery Hero for €12.5B
Sorry, but what have I missed that a pizza delivery is worth 12 (en_US) billion?
_bernd··on A Farewell to ARPs: IPv4 Service on IPv6-Only Networks
I don't get your question? If you use a /32 then there is no broadcast address and no ARP. And the /32 are then announced by your internal routing protocol.
_bernd··on TLS certificates for internal services done right
Could you give an example? I'm curious, too.
_bernd··on Train sim created by just one person is being called the best ever made
To be able to use this tech in the first place? I have no glue about business problems but this sounds far better then the 30% rip off by apple and Google app stores....
_bernd··on Where we are with climate change
403 :/
_bernd··on Ask HN: What Is DMZ?
Personally I dislike this term since ages.

Yes, in the end it just describes a "zone" and back in the old days most if not all small scale deployments just had wan, lan, and a server network.

But what actually matters are rules between the zones. And again back in the days most firewall rules where simply, disallow wan to lan, but trust all lan to "dmz"/server. And between server and lan? Good luck -.-

Tldr old farts rant: please just all it all a "firewall". Be it zone based or otherwise organized....

_bernd··on 'They take you out of life, out of time': a journey into Spain's cave paintings
If they would have live as shitty as your train of thoughts then yes we as a species would have not survived.

Please have a look at how indigenous tribes live and cure the sick to get a feeling what it would have might be back 50k+ years.

What I got during Museum visits and talking with people working in academics those people had a pretty good living. Well feed and even major injuries were treated well.

So please come on.

I wont blame you, but if you are interested, then have a look at recent documentaries about the topic. The German/French TV station "Arte" sometimes has the content in english too and other European languages.... They cover neolithic and bronze age quiet regular because we have many of these and other sites...

Funny anecdote, that when Picasso visited these places in southern France, he said: we have learned nothing.

Or something similar. Compare it with his style when he got older. It's related.

> so they are much more intelligent than I think they were

Pardon me, but we are talking about homo sapiens here? Those people would be not different then you and me. If you would raise one of their child's today it would just blend in. They were/are the same species then you and me... I just want to say please don't ride that all cavemen were stupid apes train. That boot sailed a long time ago regarding to modern science.

_bernd··on IPv6 zones in URLs are a mistake
Nobody is talking about mdns here. I don't know where you got this from.
_bernd··on IPv6 zones in URLs are a mistake
Think of that you want to Provision a "smart device" with just a computer and no router.

These link local addresses are quiet handy. But sadly the parsing of these with modern browsers is a flame war ever since. I assume that's the reason why we don't see its usage that often.

Another nice use case is to use these link local addresses in cloud environments...

_bernd··on AMD Wants You to Keep Using Your Old Hardware for a Lot Longer
Me too. Brought amd 3700x and 32 gb in 2020 and updated the GPU to a rx7800xt in 2024. Still no complains :cool: And yes I will have to run this rig for another couple of years...
_bernd··on FRRouting – implements and manages various IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols
Or https://bird.network.cz/

For those you do not like Cisco style for configs.

_bernd··on Built a robot that scans Cracow's streets for graffiti
Ignoring that the main intention is the removal? of them, it would be a great thing for documenting and archiving street culture...
_bernd··on Tunecat: Simple Internet Radio
> I certainly don't think of IRC when I think of Internet radio.

Or you are certainly to young :) Voting songs and the like on shoutcast/icecast stations via irc was not only common for gamers if my memory serves me well from the earliest 2000ths

_bernd··on Where to buy a non-Apple, non-Google smartphone
Pardon me but you could have in many cases have cached the data. I honor your strong commitment. I most often use digital because "it's easier" for them. But not for me. Sometimes I make fun and use printouts of their digital system just for the lulz. But back to cached data. Most often the mobil application catches data upfront and still be valid later even offline. Just as a reminder. Peace.
_bernd··on Where to buy a non-Apple, non-Google smartphone
Sorry Pale but I doubt you are either James Bond or Edward Snowden. Chill out. I once visit Japan, and you get papers with full of information and maps where stuff line out the direction for you ALL the time... You see there are alternatives and in this special use case you even gain privacy by blending in with all the other crowd.
_bernd··on Rolling the Root Key
I do really like his in depth articles.

_bernd··on Revocation of X.509 Certificates
The author has a long history of quality content and should be considered experienced in his field of doing.
_bernd··on IPv6 traffic crosses the 50% mark
You only need to set nothing and it should setup ipv6 on all downstream vlan interfaces. For static prefix I'd you can set ip6hint per vlan interface. For each vlan interface you need a stanza in the DHCP config file. And regarding firewall, as with the default lan zone you might need to add new zones with the vlan interfaces and configure forwarding rules. That's it.
_bernd··on South Korea introduces universal basic mobile data access
Do you have heared of IP addresses and that large institutions especially government institutions have their own blocks from the address space? Mapping these is kind of easy.
