voltagex_on IPv6 traffic crosses the 50% mark

>The Github IPv6 Proxy can only be used for traffic to Github using a VPS from TransIP which uses IPv6.

voltagex_on Show HN: I built a DNS resolver from scratch in Rust – no DNS libraries

Great idea, pity about the slop.

voltagex_on How to turn anything into a router

I am more curious that OpenWrt doesn't set these (demux) settings. It feels a bit like looking for advice on ZFS tuning and finding out 10 years later that what you were told was completely wrong.

voltagex_on 90% of Claude-linked output going to GitHub repos w <2 stars

When we need to archive GitHub when it shuts down, I wonder if I'll need to exclude 30 billion lines of slop.

voltagex_on Wise refuses to let us access our $60k AUD

Yeah just let me buy my coffee while travelling... waiting for confirmation... sorry still waiting. Shit, I missed my flight (who don't accept cryptocurrency)

voltagex_on Mac Mini G4 – The best « classic » Macintosh for retro-gaming?

$200-300 in Australia, so I'll just keep hoping emulation improves.

voltagex_on New LLM optimization technique slashes memory costs

I dunno, software seems to be getting worse, hardware is getting more expensive and both Microsoft and Apple are distracted by AI, not to mention NVIDIA who seem to have bet the farm on Deus Ex Shovel

voltagex_on Twitter Takeover Is Now the Worst Buyout for Banks Since the Financial Crisis

lol. lmao even.

voltagex_on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops

Those Linux systems that aren't getting updates must be the ones sending Mirai to my Linux systems, which are getting updates (and also Mirai, although it won't run because it's the wrong architecture).

No malware? Only if you have your head in the sand.

voltagex_on HP discontinues online-only LaserJet printers in response to backlash

Why? With what proof? With what statistics?

voltagex_on HP discontinues online-only LaserJet printers in response to backlash

Would you like to elaborate somewhat?

What other countries?

What problem?

voltagex_on No more boot loader: Please use the kernel instead

I'll bite.

Official documentation from who? For which audience? For which use case?

Making a bootable image for what kind of system? My Ryzen PC needs a very different image to my aarch64 router.

Where have you not seen info on "installing a bootloader to a target disk"? This is what every distro installer does - this can range from putting a kernel in an EFI partition and setting a variable to building a uboot image and setting variables in NVRAM

Lastly, what do you class as a "decent installer process"? Things have moved on from Slackware's installer. You've got everything from the Debian installer (which hasn't changed much) to Anaconda (let's run the install UI in a browser) to Ubuntu Server (everything is a container!) and many things in between.

voltagex_on Pwning a Brother labelmaker, for fun and interop

I think the protocols for those are reasonably well understood, but e.g. you can only print via USB from a Mac, Bluetooth was only on a phone AFAICR

voltagex_on DIY Wi-Fi thermostat from scratch with ESPHome and Home Assistant

You don't need the AI generated picture at the top of that article.

voltagex_on CitizenX: Invest in Citizenship

Ew.

voltagex_on Original WWW proposal is a Word for Macintosh 4 file from 1990, can we open it?

ITT: people repeatedly making the same mistakes, misunderstanding archival and also ignoring glaring problems with converted output

voltagex_on Original WWW proposal is a Word for Macintosh 4 file from 1990, can we open it?

With what command line?

Figuring out what to ask qemu to do (without libvirt!) is half the battle.

(Thanks though, I have something to play with tonight)

voltagex_on Proposed top-level domain string for private use: ".internal"

What broke?

voltagex_on Czech republic sets IPv4 end date

Windows ping.exe supports both.

voltagex_on Czech republic sets IPv4 end date

I have had IPv6 on every ISP I have been on since at least 2012 (http://web.archive.org/web/20120217204742/https://www.intern...)

It's fine. The only breakages I've had are when the ISP's v4 DHCP goes down (v6 websites keep working) or when IPv6 delegation fails somehow and my machines lose v6 (v6 only stuff breaks).

Your mobile phone probably already uses IPv6 (especially if you use VoLTE) and it's fine, too.

voltagex_on Framework 13 AMD 7040 Series: A Developer's First Impressions

What tech do you use?

voltagex_on Framework 13 AMD 7040 Series: A Developer's First Impressions

I currently get 600 using an Intel AX201 card and 900 from a better router.

voltagex_on Framework 13 AMD 7040 Series: A Developer's First Impressions

You are probably in a better place than me to really push them on Linux support.

Mediatek's Linux support seems reasonable, but I've only had experience running the AP cards in OpenWRT, not the little baby client cards.

voltagex_on Framework 13 AMD 7040 Series: A Developer's First Impressions

Try the card first but yes, you can do that.

voltagex_on Not setting up Find My bricked my MacBook

Apple creating e-waste like this should negate every single claim they make about environmental friendliness.

voltagex_on Framework 13 AMD 7040 Series: A Developer's First Impressions

Is there any hope for the wifi bugs mentioned in the article?

I was trying to avoid reviews like this because I didn't want to be thinking about all the problems instead of looking forward to my new laptop.

I am now wondering if I should have gone Intel.

voltagex_on How to build a IP geolocation database from scratch?

Can your probes be identified and blocked?
