randomizing is the better way to go.

Tor's approach to fingerprinting seems misguided to me. Their idea is to make every single user appear to be identical so that you can always tell when someone is using Tor Browser, but you can't track which Tor Browser user a visitor is.

The problem is that new fingerprinting techniques are found all the time, and as soon as even one is discovered that Tor Browser doesn't know about or hasn't updated to address you become 100% trackable.

Instead of trying to always make sure that every browser will produce an identical "Tor Browser" fingerprint and just hoping you account for everything that might go wrong, it seems like the smarter thing to do would be to make sure that every browser (and even every session) used a totally randomized fingerprint. That makes it impossible to track anyone across sites/visits and impossible to even tell the difference between someone using Tor Browser or any other browser that has a unique fingerprint (or randomizes to create one). Most people's browsers are already creating a unique fingerprint, the trick is just to make one person's browser differently unique every time. Every website will see your browser visit them once, but then never again.
Not if you want SLAAC to work in each LAN. Basically in IPv6 each LAN is supposed to have a /64, that's the real minimum allocation by design. Per the official recommendations, ISPs are supposed to give every individual customer at a minimum a /56.
Tech companies are definitely still hiring too though. My company is and I have no shortage of recruiter LinkedIn mail with leads should I need or want to find another job.

I’m a fan of this too, essentially the idea would front-load the cost of repairs into the product as a consumption tax at the point of sale. This internalizes the externalities of this planned obsolescence.

But of course it’s not really a fixed price and the manufacturer is tacitly encouraged to compete in total lifecycle price rather than to do the “cheap out on a structural part to save 2 cents” thing. Which is the ultimate goal.

If what you want is for products to last a while, thats the way to do it. Legislate the lifecycle you want and let vendors compete on optimizing their products for that lifecycle. The free market will happily give you planned obsolescence, we are already in a market failure, and it’s not going to work itself out by just “making consumers more informed” or whatever pablum - if that worked you wouldn’t be in a market failure to begin with. Staying the course and “spreading awareness” has always been a vote against actual change.
That doesn't work any more than anything else.

I'm testing with `ping ipv6.google.com` as well as the router IPs. Between each change, I disconnect from wifi.

The router itself has a ping tool and can ping ipv6.google.com just fine. So I assume the upstream options are correct.

For the LAN, I have 4 options:

* ND Proxy gives me an fd/8 address. I can ping the router via its fd/8 or fe80 address, google blackholes.

* DHCPv6 gives me an ::/64 address. I can ping the router via its fd/8 or ::/64 addresses, google blackholes

* SLAAC + Stateless DHCP does not give me any address (I still have the default fe80 address). I can ping the router via its fd/8 or ::/64 addresses, google gives Destination unreachable: Beyond scope of source address

* SLAAC + RDNSS does not give me any address (I still have the default fe80 address). I can ping the router via its fd/8 or ::/64 addresses, google gives Destination unreachable: Beyond scope of source address

In all cases, the IPv6 addresses the router says are its DNS servers blackhole. I do have working DNS returning IPv6 address for google though; presumably because the ipv4 DNS server it advertises (which is the router itself) still works.

If I bypass the wifi router, the ISP router gives me both an address in both fd/8 (in the same /64 as the wifi router gets assigned, which makes sense) and in 2607/16, besides the usual fe80. The ISP router is really bad, all it has is an "it's connected" indicator and a bunch of phone numbers and URLs for support.

Still bypassing, pinging `ip6-allnodes` gives me 3 responses, all with fe80::/64 addresses: my computer, an unknown, and the wifi router; I can ping those addresses, as well as the wifi router's fd/8 address.

Maybe I should play with the router's upstream settings ... "Get IPv6 address" has auto, slaac, dhcpv6, non-address ... since I can ping it from outside that has to be right. If I disable "Prefix delegation" the ::/64 box is editable but it complains about literally anything entered. And I don't have anything meaningful to manually enter a DNS address.

Hm, I just noticed that the last bit of the router's address varies between some of its addresses ...

Yes. But also they probably anticipate AI models improving massively and inference costs going way down in the near future. In that case the future economics of an AI-dedicated hardware device would be much more favorable, and by that point they'll have had a sizable first mover advantage.

There is over 1 billion users with less than 5% on IPv6 in China alone.
Some 200 million users in Indonesia with less than 15% on IPv6.

Hundreds of million of users in Africa that are growing at a very fast pace, still on IPv4.

In Europe outside Germany and Belgium, the IPv6 usage is between 5-20% max. Millions of people.

There is also millions of industrial systems, ATMs (heck, some of them still run XP!), and whatnot that will not get IPv6 short of complete replacement.

You can't price IPv4 out with that kind of numbers combined with the fact that it is an extremely open market.

The layoff announcement mentioned that the 11% staff laid off is global. It's possible a lot of people laid off are actually in China, since Tencent owns 100% of Riot Games.

It's doubtful that these Chinese employees are chatting about it on hacker news, since it would draw attention of the authorities. Also, there is a trend for Chinese companies to not hire workers that are over 35 years old, so most of these employees are probably in shock on how they would pay their mortgages and support their parents at the same time. And Chinese economy is in the crapper right now.

Why not? Are you making some oblique reference to Popperian refutationalism or is your point just that it’s very difficult to 100% prove something, so often it’s more a matter of a significant updating of priors? If it’s the latter, using “proof” doesn’t seem like the worst shorthand to me. Anything more involved would go over the head of the average nytimes reader.
I actually did exactly this.

I run a very small site for a local club from an AWS Nano instance. Minimum cost is important. When AWS announced that they would begin charging for public IPv4 addresses, I enabled IPv6 on the subnet (which was tricky), updates the DNS record, and removed the IPv4 address.

In my case, no one notices or cares because they almost always access the site through their cell phones.
That is so toxic and just painful to read. Hard to understand how people function like that.

That's a very interesting case, as UDP is very reliant on MTU. If the IPv6 headers take out more space from the ethernet frame, that leaves less space for the UDP payload. Which means that a UDP payload which was at the limit for IPv4 on the typical MTU needs to be fragmented into two IPv6 packets, which will likely increase latency quite significantly.

However, this will depend on each specific game, if they are using all the available space or not. If they're sending 200 byte datagrams, they shouldn't see any difference.

On the flipside, IPv6 has a larger minimum MTU than IPv4, so it could happen that your maximum UDP payload actually goes up when switching to IPv6. So, if the game previously had to send 5 packets to do an update, it might be able to send only 3 when it can rely on IPv6, so maybe latency actually significantly improves.
Seems like the usual “all change is bad” reaction you see around most initiatives. All the alternatives have similar downsides or worse.

Show HN: 2024 arttime feeder challenge. Code feeder in language of choice, share
arttime is a terminal application that blends beauty of text-art with functionality of clock, timer, and pattern-based time manager. One can also display customized dynamic feed of information like weather, news, stocks, system metrics and etc. The above GIF shows that a feeder can be used to display weather in arttime.

Please read sections ORCHESTRATING and CONTRIBUTING (which has a software spec) in [arttime man txt](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/poetaman/arttime/main/shar...). to understand how to write custom information feeders. They can be written in any language, and should be quite simple. Please get in touch if you write something of common interest. Link to such feeders will get added to arttime's page, and best ones will get special mention. Here's an example that shows how line of text under art can be remotely updated to show "Hello World":

```
$ printf 'MHello World\n' >/path/to/some/fifo/arttime/is/listening

I know. It may well be so, but I'm willing to try it because I don't find "may contribute" to be a strong deterrent, even supposing it's not wrong. There are many people with various inflammations that have found the carnivore diet to be very effective, (e.g., see Mikhaila Peterson). It may be that red meat is bad, or not entirely healthy, and the diet could still work because it's a very extreme keto and elimination diet. Elimination diets are known to work, see the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet. Leaving out all processed food or some vegetables could mean excluding some unknown allergenic or noxious substance to which some of us may be too sensitive to. There's also an interesting argument about it being the diet we evolved with for millions of years.

I think this is ignoring the feedback loop between market demand and product design. It is entirely possible for cheap products to crowd out good ones such that good ones no longer exist in the market no matter how “informed” you are. Indeed, as discussed in this very comments section, appliances are already there, pretty much every brand of fridge or washer/dryer is shit now regardless of how much you spend.

It is entirely possible that the overall social optimum is that the very cheapest tier of product needs to not exist in order to get the volume for decent models to have good economies of scale etc.

Anonymize data with a restore capability. Maintains historical continuity for never ending total user awareness.
The original idea was that configuration would be so automatic that humans would never see the addresses. Instead of an admin assigning a name and IP address to each host, the admin would only assign the name. The host would figure out its local topography from Neighbor Discovery then tell the dns where it's connected. I'm not sure how well that worked out in practice.
It will be interesting to see if they support WebVR/WebXR. Probably not.

The cheap version of this is just using tmux/screen, but yeah honestly I suspect a lot of programs are easy to make recreate their GUI state if you care to bother, it's just that not everyone does (or should; it's a trade off and display servers aren't usually that crashy).

Ah I misread - thought he said Linux software.
I grew up with IPv4 (1.2.3.4) and I was expecting IPv6 to just be 1.2.3.4.5.6 with backward compatibility so that 1.2.3.4 would just be 0.0.1.2.3.4 and the 1.2.3.4 dude wouldn't need to change their address.

And the IPv8 would be 0.0.0.0.1.2.3.4 whenever we need it, but probably not for a long time

When I saw all the double-colons and slashes and monstrosities like f00f:00f:::ea//dead::beef/3 I just kept using IPv4.

I can't even remember Google's IPv6 DNS ffs. 8.8.8.8 was easy to remember. Now it's got some hex bullshit in it and a double colon thrown in somewhere.

If done right it forces the asker to really think about and flesh out their idea, most ticket systems don’t necessarily enforce great descriptive hygiene. But if you use an idea portal you can force the requester to answer a bunch of questions with min char counts that make them really think about the idea, then they can get feedback from others who might have a similar problem. Additionally most other channels for receiving feedback are unstructured and won’t result in high quality feedback, nor an accurate description of the problem, these types of tools have a much better chance of getting real serious feedback, bec only the ones who really care will persevere through all the questions.

If you just drop every customer email complaining about a supposed problem into a ticket in your company’s private queue, no one but internal employees will ever see it (and 99% of those won’t ever notice it or read it) but if you give your users a place to vent and discuss their ideas (with moderation of course) you can have a pretty powerful new idea/roadmap tool.
I really like that. It also helps reassuring the importance of items. Like, if you want to create the same story three times in a year, it might actually be important.

Quote from Dreamfactory:

> "Typically, self-hosted software is installed and operated on servers physically located within the organization’s premises"

When you claim it is self hosted everyone assumes you can host it anywhere, including AWS if they want. Your software can't do that.

You need to make it clear, otherwise you will alienate your potential users. You may be technically correct for a limited definition of self hosted, but that is not what users expect.
It's interesting to me that you find partisan political op-eds by non-attorneys persuasive on a highly technical legal subject. Not the choice I would have made.
At a time when many companies, flush with cash, routinely perform mass lay-offs in order to boost the stock price no employee's job is secure no matter how well they perform.

So, in such an environment, how can you expect employees not to hedge themselves against the market they find themselves in?

Or, is your argument that we are only allowed to act in our own self-interest if we are C-suite or higher?

This is how it used to be. When you bought a computer you got a full circuit diagram with it so you could understand how it works. All appliances were like this, and some still are, but the fancier it is the less likely. My stove has a sticker on the back describing how the coils are wired up so a technician can service it better. There's no reason we can't mandate this even if our circuit boards and physical mechanisms are more complicated. It's clearly a net benefit for society.

I don't know how clean or simple or portable you wish your build environment to be, but would it be worth embedding at compile-time?

Thinking of the general need in these situations to produce a custom-named interpreter/executable, could it be worth accessing the program name itself to find a paired source file? E.g., in invoking ./foo2.o it would look for ./foo2.code -- a two-file distribution allowing to double-click on the executable??

Could there be a non-unicode flag at the end of a special elf file which allows arbitrary unicode data to be concatenated after that? I.e., an agreed loader-ignore-hereafter convention or similar? (Asking with no knowledge of ELF internals, besides hints given in the OP.)
