apearson··on Adventures with Verizon FiOS IPv6
True but it's much easier in IPv6 as it's the standard way of doing things
apearson··on Adventures with Verizon FiOS IPv6
Why not have a ULA and an internal dns server that rewrites the dns to the ULA address and have the external dns dynamicly updated?

One great thing about ipv6 is your not limited to 1 IP address per interface

apearson··on Unconditioned Texas Garage Lab – 1 year later
This is the default last mile environment for at least a couple ISPs that I've worked with. I've seen switches and other networking equipment in non air conditioned closets in the Orlando heat. The equipment doesn't seem to mind the higher temp that much.

A lot of people are driving the "the sky is falling" mentality. Ignore most of this and do your own research. The world is overall getting better everyday. Keep planning for the future and contribute to changing the world to how you'd want it.

apearson··on mDNS, Avahi and Docker non-root containers
Right there still a need for apps and browsers to surface mDNS services but the parent comment made it seem like the browsers can't use mDNS at all.

You're are correct, mDNS name resolution is an OS feature and to the browser/program/app it makes no difference.

apearson··on mDNS, Avahi and Docker non-root containers
The browser support you listed is for listing out the available sites. The browsers still support mdns for name resolution. Zeroconf is used in Google Cast and Airplay for service discovery.

How would you write out a rebranding like Mac OS X to macOS
apearson··on Every default macOS wallpaper, in glorious 5k resolution

apearson··on How Crash Bandicoot hacked the original Playstation [video]
I share somewhat the same memories. I remember putting hours and hours into that game to see what was possible and what were the limits. One of the earliest memories I have of figuring out how software works and what it's limits are.
apearson··on WireGuard is now in Linus' tree
I run Wireguard on a freebsd server behind pfsense. Works well once you have a nat setup. What is stopping you from going that route?

apearson··on Apple Removes HKmap.live from the App Store
There's a balance between freedom of expression and security (de-platforming). Where that balance is, is different for most everyone.
