> As long as there is a provision to soak it in CIDR.

There is; the idea is to fill up random bits to /48, leaving you with 16 bits of subnetting space until you hit /64. If you're not concerned about aggregating networks, a common pattern on larger networks is to put the VLAN ID there in "false hex", i.e. VLAN 1357 = fd……:1357::/64.

If you need more space you can either generate more random /48 prefixes, or widen the prefix length on your existing /48. The latter is technically against the spirit of ULAs, but… only the pedants will care.
>So the new SaaS I was working on was planning to use a MoR from the start

We're here. Registrations are not open yet and new users will be onboarded through an accounting/revenue service friendly pipeline, and ping the lawyers and accouning firm to look into it.

I wonder how people here launch SaaS products directly with a "just use Stripe" and "just launch" attitude and don't seem to think about that. Is there something I'm missing? Do they just assume that the revenue generated is so low that they're not on the radar of their revenue services and "just launch"? Surely I'm missing something and they're doing something behind the scenes to handle that.

They also don't seem to mention they're using a limited liability company (SARL, SAS, LTD, LLC) and I'd assume they're operating as a Sole Proprietor / Natural Entity / Natural Person / Personne Physique, which is way risky in my opinion in terms of liability. That or the services they're providing are inconsequential and there is no risk because the stakes are low (SaaS with no sensitive data and users who wouldn't mind a breach or something). Again, I'm propably missing something.

> Life isn't short--it's LONG,

A counterexample. My father died when he was 59 after a decade of ill-health. He'd had to give up many of the things that he loved doing as an individual (sailing) and with us as a family (caravanning, long walks, etc). This made a big impression on me (I was mid-20s when he died) and I resolved to focus on things other than wealth maximization but still retire early enough to (hopefully) enjoy my health.

I'm now 60. I retired two years ago after working 3 day weeks for the two previous years. I then transitioned to volunteering for a conservation organisation, and started career 2.0 totally independently of my prior experience / education (software). It was a blast!

Then, five months ago, I had a cardiac arrest - ventricular fibrillation, from which I was de'fibbed and had an ICD [0] fitted. It seems to be a genetic thing rather than lifestyle as my cardiac health is otherwise good. Because of the UK's rules, I lose my driving license for six months from the date of the VF episode. I understand why, as once the VF starts I have less than ten seconds of useful consciousness before passing out, and, if the ICD operates, I get a painful kick in the chest. Thanks to underinvestment, the UK's driving agency currently has a backlog of at least three months in reissuing licenses, so I will likely have nine months not being able to drive (which means that I can't do my volunteering).

My point? Don't assume that you will maintain your youthful vigour for ever as life can throw curveballs.

I'm running Pi-Hole as well, and I don't have an issue with AAAA records as far as I can determine. I found several forum posts suggesting I make my router hand out the IPv6 address to my DNS server (also Pi-Hole) and after I did that it started working right away.

What’s worse is for group emails (e.g worship emails) I try to reply all and inform them of the mistake and only get more emails for the wrong person.

Update on Linux hibernation support when lockdown is enabled
It seems to be one of those nowadays numerous people who invest a great part of their time into programming 'communities' to the point it becomes a defining point of their life, instead of just considering the underlying tool... a tool (or one hobby) among others. It often ends this way.
Any books, videos, etc. you'd suggest to us in order to aquire the skill of understanding our own brain? I'm asking for some path to go down and lead me to this understanding I'm aware that in the end it's all up to oneself.

In this case, they don't.
The author seems depressed and is displacing their frustrations onto a programming language.

A programming language isn't going to bring you real joy, that can only come from within.
This is hilarious: someone comments about a real problem that requires a practical solution in a programming language, and someone invariably rushes to add their subset of “nice to have” language features.

per capita is the more accurate measure. Yeah I note my mistake in another reply.

Even so, the US historically took the number one spot for both total greenhouse gases and greenhouse gases per capita. If you look at it from a perspective of a longer timespan, the US is basically number one.

It is only in recent times does the US now currently take the number two spots for both categories.

Why isn't this fraud?
I find it strange that the author treats spending time with a language as a personal sacrifice.

If that's the case, maybe quit programming altogether? No matter what you work on, language or a piece of software, if you think you are sacrificing part of yourself, just stop. It's not worth it.
> For IPv6, people memorize/type IP address all the time. So the IPv6 designers needed to balance the address space size with ergonomics - and they did this poorly, imo.

Most people have a hard time with remembering more than a handful of important telephone numbers (15 digits per E.164), so I don't think 64- (36:31:85:fc:bc:64:21:58) or even 48-bit (da:e1:4d:a5:9d:e7) addresses would be any easier.

And if you don't like the current IPv6 addresses, be thankful the IETF didn't go with RFC 1561:

> General purpose CLNP implementations MUST handle NSAP addresses of variable length up to 20 octets, as defined in ISO/IEC 8348 [11]. TUBA implementations, especially routers, MUST accommodate these as well. Thus, for compatibility and interoperability with OSI use of CLNP, the initial octet of the Destination Address is assumed to be an Authority and Format Indicator, as defined in ISO/IEC 8348. NSAP addresses may be between 8 and 20 octets long (inclusive).

* https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1561.html#section-4...
> In other words: The current IPv6 specifications don't allow public IPv6 addresses to send packets to public IPv4 addresses. They also don't allow public IPv4 addresses to send packets to public IPv6 addresses. Public IPv6 addresses can only exchange packets with each other. The specifications could have defined a functionally equivalent public IPv6 address for each public IPv4 address, embedding the IPv4 address space into the IPv6 address space; but they didn't.

Why didn't they? What are the arguments against this solution?

You would have to upgrade the software and OS of systems using IPv4-only to understand the IPv6 IP header. (Which is much simpler than upgrading to support IPv6 AND assigning IPv6 addresses)

I guess the bigger problem is that all routers in the path between an IPv6-only host and an IPv4-only host would have to support IPv6 to parse the destination IPv4/IPv6 address and make the proper routing decision.

This would make "IPv6 to IPv4 and vice-versa" traffic only work for some, depending on which ISPs has upgraded their equipment to support IPv6, and which IPv4-only hosts has upgraded their software+OS to support IPv6. This could result in IPv6 getting a very bad reputation, further delaying adoption.

Anything I am missing?
Java was also largely successful, by now it's the new Cobol of business software and will never go away. The same for C++, of course, it will not go anywhere, at worst it will slide a few points down the TIOBE index (where, surprisingly, Visual Basic is on place 6).

At a bookstore or library, pull a book off the shelf, read it for two minutes, then put it back.

Often you'll find you really don't want to put it back.

If so, then give it a shot.

Kinda, not really. Linus stopped at the kernel, and one of the key features of a good Desktop OS is, well, all that user-interface stuff above the kernel that Linus neither wrote nor prescribed a design for.

Hey there, Portuguese fellow here. I'm currently living abroad, but I actually would like to move back to Portugal but still be working as remote. Would you mind telling me which company do you work for (or if you know, other companies that offer remote working)?

You can contact me directly if you like, just see the e-mail on my profile.
Uh, source? Media very much likes to simplify these things, but if you think of this in a probabilistic/continuous manner, rather than a "yes spread vs no spread" approach, the vaccines obviously reduce spread?
They are mandatory only in the sense you might get a small fine if you happen to be caught and pulled over without one. You still keep your drivers license, and your car, and your job.

Also you can take the seatbelt off when you get out of the car.

It's still nonsense (click it or ticket laws), but you gotta pick your battles. Though I'm ready to murder the people who invented/mandated "beep incessantly if the seatbelt is not clicked, even if the car is stationary".

I used to have my entire music collection in iTunes (ripped from CDs and purchased from Apple's store). After reaching my limit of frustration with iTunes, I decided that I would put my collection in the cloud and manage it myself. I wrote a python front-end that used OpenStack Swift (object storage) for the cloud storage. I set up plugins for the cloud storage layer so that I can also use S3 or Azure. I hosted Swift in a Digital Ocean droplet for many years. I recently shut down my Swift server and moved my collection to Wasabi (S3 compatible). I use Cyberduck to upload new content. My catalog (metadata) is stored in a SQLite file that is also stored in the cloud.

I nearly always listen to my music on random/shuffle play. It's all command-line oriented. I have a script to toggle play/pause and another to advance to the next song. I have playlist support, but hardly ever use it. It's not a perfect system, but it meets my needs and I'm generally quite happy with it.

On MacOS, songs are played using Apple's built-in 'afplay' executable. On Windows, songs are played using 'MPC-HC'.

It is fairly clear that is it not a significant factor, even before omicron. I don't know how these claims that lack a solid scientific basis still continue. You cannot attribute a capability to a vaccine that has not been confirmed through high quality evidence.
It’s interesting to look at Tokyo from space, what you’ll see is a type of sprawl but it’s an dense urban sprawl. In the us we have taken to trying to constrain growth to small specific areas to drive up density, but that wasn’t needed in Tokyo to achieve density. It tells me that in some ways our attempts at urban planning through zoning have been ineffective. The reason why a location 5 miles from a city center can only house a single level big box store isn’t due to cars or the great expanse of America. That piece of property could be put to better use if people were able to build as they do in Tokyo.

On the other hand, if we aspire to be like Tokyo, we might consider what the Tokyo area originally looked like as a natural environment and how the unchecked growth in density turned most everything to concrete.

My understanding is that the vaccines aren’t completely effective at stopping you catching/spreading, but they are a whole lot better than being immune naive altogether. Casual googling has given me some Washington state pdf data that says even in the most robust cohort (13-29 year olds) unvaccinated folks get Covid at 3x the rate of unvaccinated and the differences only get more dramatic from there.

If you have more robust information though I’d like to know of it.

Edit: please note this was published in dec 29 2021, with data up to that point, and therefore also incorporates omicron.

What kind of reasoning is this? Is this the sort of logic you would use on the job?
Horrible logic. Seatbelts are in the same position. They are mandatory and greatly reduce harm done in an accident. Same thing for the vaccines, you won't die and won't likely be using an ICU bed that other patients need.

Go spread your FUD elsewhere.
> Friendly fraud can be faught. Both person's are known to the payment processor. You are still ignoring that it's the customer who decides how to pay.

The merchant is highly likely going to lose more money towards fighting friendly fraud on top of the chargeback fees regardless if the customer knowingly paid for the service, product or not or if both are known to the payment processor. That is irrelevant since it is the bank who decides who wins the dispute and the payment processor sides with them, even when the bank cannot determine if the chargeback is fraudulent or not.

> That's why a vendor won't pick crypto when the goal is selling products as in e-commerce.

So you mean 'running an online store, selling something digital or physical' as in e-commerce?

Didn't stop 'this vendor' from selling limited edition shoes to its customers. [0] nor did it stop this vendor either [1]. Once again, OpenSea, Rarible, etc selling NFTs like domain names, etc. Nor did it stop merchants using Coinbase commerce.

Since you keep forgetting, do I need to repeat the same examples again?

> And you're talking about jobs in fan/artist investing now?

This is you:

>> You should ask HN if there is any business owner that cares, lol.

It seems you forgot already? It was only because YOU asked here on HN for 'any' business owner. I didn't need to ask given this one seems to care.

> But if you think any of both are even remotely related to the OP's post, than that's just idiotic.

So '...running an online store, selling something digital or physical' is not what the OP said? Neither it being related to 'e-commerce' via buying and selling NFTs, domain names, shoes and clothes? That is idiotic because it involves cryptocurrencies, especially those that have low fees?

It is clear that you are still having a hard time accepting that a new generation of merchants and customers are accepting and using cryptocurrencies for payments 'globally' rather than you sitting there saying 'Nothing fundamentally has changed since 2017' or 'Many ecoms added support in 2017 and removed that functionality again.' and 'But it's all going away when BTC drops again.'.

I always hate that quote. Much of the misery and suffering in the world also comes from the unreasonable man. Every tyrant is trying to adapt the world to himself. Every stalker is trying to adapt the world to himself. Every poacher is trying to adapt the world to himself. Every vandal is trying to adapt the world to himself. Many a murderer is trying to adapt the world to himself. Every person demanding Ivermectin to treat Covid is trying to adapt the world to himself. Trump spread the lies about the 2020 election trying to adapt the world to himself.

In addition, the reasonable man is also adapting the world to himself. Every time you turn on the air conditioning or heat, you are adapting the world to yourself.

Every human is trying at some level to adapt the world to himself while also recognizing that some things are easier to change than others.

In addition, many of our greatest advances came from people who knew how the world worked and carefully pushed change along 1 dimension. Every scientist with a ground breaking discovery appreciates the fundamental laws of nature and works within those constraints. The quacks forever making perpetual motion machines are trying to adapt the world to themselves without realizing the constraints.
