w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Incident with Pull Requests, Git Operations and Issues
I feel there is a problem with your connectivity or with the Github datacenter you are being routed to. That has not been my experience.
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on If IPv4 were land
There is no need for that, every modern OS prefer IPv6 over IPv4
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on We're releasing the weights of Mistral Large 4
I believe there should be a way to distinguish this type of open-weight model from one that you can find hosted by someone else, such as Chinese models.
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Cuba is skipping its November 1, 2026 clock change and staying on DST until 2027
In EU it's currently stalled because some countries want to stay permanently on their DST time (south europe) and others (north europe) want to stay on their solar time.

It's better to make a common decison about this, so we are stalled.

w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Solar power is becoming bigger than nuclear
In Italy you don't need to declare to the utility a balcony solar system if you are under 350W, even if you conenct it to your own line.

The inverter is smart enough to disconnect from your line if you are not consuming energy, so there is no risk of sending the power back to the distribution line.

w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on eMudhra intermediate CA compromise
Thanks now I understand!
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on eMudhra intermediate CA compromise
really cool
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on eMudhra intermediate CA compromise
I find difficult to understand why intermediate certificates are present in trust stores. The whole adavantage of having intermediate CA certificate was that they can be quickly revocated in cases like this, without impacting the root CA and so without having to touch trust stores.

Anyone cares to explain?

w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Verisign .com Domain Name Registry Consumer Class Action
I believe you made the wrong example using US, since gTLD like ".com" are de facto controlled also by US companies.

If we instead take another country, like Italy, the reasoning would be sound. If Italian governament bans abortions in Italy, it's more likely that the auhtorities are able to restrict the sites registered on .it than .com

w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Google Playground: Create and play custom games
Italy too
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Hackers obtain counterfeit TLS certificates for Google and other large services
That is a good point.
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Hackers obtain counterfeit TLS certificates for Google and other large services
CAA records (with ACME account bindings) can prevent this.

HPKP was deprecated because it was too dangerous to be deployed in production.

w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on California closed the Montana license plate loophole
Paying bollo is not the main reason. Bollo is around 100-200€ a year. Third Party Insurance for cars is mandatory and in Naples, due to high level of fraud, it can amount to 1500-2000€ a year. Using a Polish insurance, or a fake Polish insurance, is the main reason to get a Polish license plate.

Luckily the loop hole is being closed by the Polish authorities after it became popular.

w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on US Forces Exit Iraq
Yeah sure, really stable, apart from Islamic State invasion of Iraq between 2014 and 2017.
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on What do Visa and Mastercard do? An intro to card networks
The Set rules and handle disputes chapter is really interesting.
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on What do Visa and Mastercard do? An intro to card networks
Yes usually it's promotional.
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Mistral raises €3B
Add Italy please.
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on GrapheneOS says Pixel 11 has MTE support after all
Also, the SIM card has its own operating system.
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash
In Italy too. We have national contracts that are negotiated by unions for the whole indistry and are valid for all workers of the same industry, not only members.
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on GitHub Publishes IPv6 Addresses for Git SSH remotes
I can still se the IPv6 addresses in the git block
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on The Work Number: credit score but for your employment history – by Equifax
Corporations want obedient wage slaves, so if they find out that you may have some "Fuck you" money that you can use to stop working for them at your whim, they will avoid you.
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Today IPv6 adoption exceed %50 in Google Statistics
Maybe they want to sell it as an add on for business users?
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Google loses fight over record $4.7B EU antitrust fine
We would build our own alternatives. Russia is a much smaller market (120 million people) and they have their own tech companies.
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on European digital ID wallets rely on safety services of Google and Apple
Functionally illiterate means that they can read in their own language, but they cannot understand the meaning, a part from very simple things.
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on One million passports leaked online
We should stop treating digital pictures of physical documents as some sort of crdentials.

There is a reason why numerous security features are embedded in physical documents like watermarks, holograms and NFC. That's so the authenticity can be inspected in person. A picture has none of those, so it should not be treated as a credential.

w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Ryanair dark UX patterns summer 2026 refresher
Dark patterns are already regulated, but Ryanair does not comply.
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on The Future of Email
What's the point of the article?
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Localsend: An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop
Yes Google added the feature recently https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/platforms/android...
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on IPv6 is the only way forward
IPv6 cannot be backward-compatible with IPv4 in the way UTF-8 is with ASCII. Any argument built on that comparison reflects a misunderstanding of the protocols and leads to flawed conclusions.
w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Tell HN: Azure outage
In Italy we typically vote for two days, usually Sunday and Monday or Saturday and Sunday.
