Diseased Open Source Software Community - it's about ethics in Code of Conducts

My ISP, Spectrum, STILL doesn't support it. It feels intentional.

Quite a few don't. There are reasons.

My ISP, Spectrum, in former Charter territory, supports it... sometimes.

I'll get bored and enable it, often when KF worked better with IPv6. It would work for a while, then it would stop, then I'd disable it, then I'd enable it a few months later, works for a while, fails. Maybe I'll try again next year.

This website is almost Maoist struggle session level lunacy. Someone got banned for reporting a post for a reason a janny didn't like.

Hexbear ( a leftist forum that's pretty active tbh daily 1k users at least ) has a separate PUBLIC board called "selfcrit" where banned users have to BEG and explain to their janny commissars for why they were banned and how they understand their ban was justified and that they want to BE BETTER and be let back on the forum. https://hexbear.net/c/selfcrit

There is a modlog, it's like the ResetEra ban reason API but they implemented it themselves

If this post (Archive) doesn't convince you that sticking to leftist ideals is a pointless exercise in frustration, I don't know what will.

Luigi Mangione literally threw his entire life away to execute a CEO of a health insurance company, and that still isn't good enough for them because he DARED to not be openly "trans-inclusive", whatever the fuck that means.

Killing CEOs isn't necessarily partisan. The leftists view them as heckin evil capitalists, while the rightists (the good kind, not cuckservatives) view them as filthy jews and whatnot.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't IPv4 just starting to be phased out for IPv6, due to the character limit inherent in IPv4?

IPv4 will be phased out in just two more weeks. Trust the plan.

I said all of this but with less words. I do a lot with 'on-site caches', actually and it's a very odd space. Some ISPs are starting to push back against it since they see it as Netflix/Google/etc pushing their electricity and cooling bills onto them. Which is a big reason why the local Stadia racks never went absolutely anywhere.

I thought Netflix offering on-site caches was them trying to partially resolve ISPs complaining about the amount of bandwidth Netflix was consuming.

My issue is shit ISPs who sometimes do not give out v4 addresses and then totally fuck up 6to4 or whatever the way they use giving you a service that doesnt fully work because you cannot connect to the v4 world.

Slightly less worse: GCNAT prevents you from self hosting so you have to use IPv6 which works except when something doesn't support it.
Dockerhub doesn't support IPv6 unless you use an account.

It started out, probably honestly, as a 'everybody wins' kind of deal. Everyone pays less transit and the ISPs get better Netflix scores - which I can tell you from personal experience some of them cared about a whole lot.

Now some are questioning if it's the best deal for them. Most even cable ISPs are even really wanting to get out of video, it's kind of a declining business.

The really only thing I have against IPv6 is that it is difficult to use without DNS.

EUI-64 pisses in the cornflakes of everyone who doesn't have 100% perfect forward lookups. Though what gets me extra salty is that Windows Server doesn't enable it by default, instead using address randomization. Why does a server need privacy? I guess the client version of Windows has it and the server team gives so little of a shit about IPv6, they never bothered to change the behavior.

God forbid a router advertisement hits your DCs and you haven't configured shit properly, now you'll have AAAA records growing like weeds all over the place.

If something ever happens that forces companies to start implementing IPv6, it's going to hit their network guys like a tonne of bricks. I've never seen a network guy that has a clue about IPv6, they just avoid it like the plague.

This site needs a community watch thread. Looks like a great place to funpost. Resetera had about a 35 funpost per janny mental breakdown rate, but with this site you might be able to get it down to 20 or even 15.

Hand ChatGPT an example of your own writing and tell it to generate a ban appeal in the same style.

The really only thing I have against IPv6 is that it is difficult to use without DNS.

I have quite a bit more from the usability perspective. The initial idea when designed would be "oh everyone get's a shitload of addresses because they can". Okay, turns out that's not very good for privacy, because you can track devices reliably like that. So now they decide they'll rotate addresses and even sometimes - prefixes. This is bad because now your *local* routing can get wrecked when you get a new prefix. Okay, we'll fix that by ULAs (which is like a 192.168.0.0/16 from ye IPv4 days). Cool, now you have to track something like 3 sets of addresses which may or may not be routable. Add to that that some devices work only on DHCPv6, some only on RA, and some do both... what a clusterfuck.
I used to be a fan in the early '00 when running on openwrt at home but I'm not anymore because this shit just doesn't work. And that's even before you take into account all the broken ways your ISP can give you an allocation.

This is NOT a place to mount a defense of your words or actions, call out other users, or appeal bans.

You're wrong, this is not a place where you can appeal bans, this is purely for self-flagellation. They are not getting unbanned.

The alternative being CGNAT pisses me off. You can't even use wireguard anymore even if know your ip address. On the other hand NAT 66 exists, so you can still do that for your own network if you want to via dhcpv6.

 

[thegunbuilderguy]

let's not cancel the author of something we like purely because his opinions differ from ours. as long as notepad++ remains unmolested, he can write what he wishes

IMO it's never been the reason I, and hopefully, a bunch of people follow.
The problem is that the man mixes his own opinions in with the updates, that shows a lack of separation between his work and his personal life.
It's the same kind of lack of separation that brought the Node.JS nuke, if you're not able to separate your work from your politics and whims, then i cannot trust you to not weaponize your work down the road towards your ends.

of course, that doesn't mean you're lost, you can absolutely decide to halt that, but there'll always be the shadow of doubt over you, with theories that you might've just went silence radio because you've been adding sketchy stuff into the code and don't want to bring more attention. That's unfortunately what life is, you don't really right a wrong more than you layer a different layer on the one that stinks, a bit like why people don't want a partner with lots of previous relationships and prefer a clean slate, because it's less messy to deal with.

Anecdotal, but a lot of the junior devs I work with seem incapable of plain old "figuring things out". Every problem they come across, they send me the error, and ask how to fix it. When I probe into what they have done to troubleshoot... nothing. Bitch, I'm not your personal ChatGPT.

At worst, google the error. At best, put some dimples in that smooth brain of yours and do some problem solving. Understand the context, read some documentation, learn to use debugging tools. Anything.

Perhaps this is just a naturally biased observation of being a senior engineer, but a lot of these kids can't do shit. Potentially a serious skills issue in the next decade.

IMO i tend to rarely figure out bugs that don't come from my own code mainly because the errors thrown by them tends to be so unhelpful/filled with insider technical jargon that i'm not able to figure them out, as someone who's a jack of all trades and isn't intimate with specific programs' innerworkings

I've noticed it as well, both the junior devs and the pajeet horde fucking suck at troubleshooting and rather than investigate something they immediately run to the first person that they know will fix the issue. They also have zero curiosity and no interest in figuring out how things work, basic networking shit is like fucking magic to these people.

the pajeet plague is seemingly universal
a coworker in D******* has to deal with like a hundred of them, had to make some 4XX page manual to assemble hull chunks of a plane and it didn't stop them from swarming him in questions for over a year, they have zero autonomy, and in a way it makes sense, when one gets any authority, their caste system brain kicks on and either they become hapless themselves or instantly abuse it, it's like they lack some gene that makes them fair or wise whenever they get a modicum of power.

Now i understand why the anglos took them over so easily, only to leave after realizing they were a waste of time, resources and an affront to all the senses.

....fucking wut? No. The sole reason for pushing IPv6 is address exhaustion... because some clowns decided that everybody and their toaster needed a world-routable address for no fucking reason whatsoever, [...]

Despite all the many faults of IPv6 and the sad state of its adoption, I have to hard disagree on this statement.

One of the cornerstones of the original Internet Protocol design was to have a flat, global address space. The entire point of the capital-I Intenet was (is) to be able to reach out and communicate to anyone connected to it.

In order to do that, you need global, reachable* addresses for every device connected to the Internet.

NAT is a horrible but necessary kludge in a world where the amount of network-connected devices exploded beyond anyone's wildest dreams at the time IP was designed. It makes zero fucking sense from a network design point of view. It is only tolerated/understood by today's engineers because they've been (forcefully) exposed to it, from day zero, their entire fucking careers and that's the way their brains are wired to think now. I guarantee you that if you grabbed a completely novice, unprejudiced (but capable) student and gave them a formal course in network protocols and network design the way it was meant to be, and then introduced the concept of NAT to them, they'd vomit all over your face and ask why the fuck you'd want to do that.

NAT introduces state into a protocol that was very explicitly designed to be stateless for performance and scalability reasons (and because frankly it's the only sane design that would work). NAT turns a network of peers into a network of providers and consumers; of privileged, content distributors and passive NPC consumers.

The cruelest fate was not that we ran out of IPv4 address space (we did, btw). It was that we ran out of space slowly enough that it gave shit like NAT (and CGNAT, and others) the opportunity to more-or-less effectively mitigate the problem and thus disincentivize a move to a proper protocol.

For what it's worth. If someone took IPv4, left *everything* about it the way it is except turning address formats to 128 bits, I'd take that over IPv6 in a heartbeat. But we do need that larger address space.

* Yes, yes, I know most devices (usually consumer products such as PCs, smartphones, etc) only ever make outgoing connections because they request data, not serve it, and they should NOT be allowed to be otherwise connected to for security reasons. But that's what proper firewalls are for, and NAT is emphatically NOT a substitute for perimeter defense.

"oh everyone get's a shitload of addresses because they can". Okay, turns out that's not very good for privacy, because you can track devices reliably like that.

Privacy is important but thinking that you're "safer" because your PC is one level of network translation away from the endpoint that's trying to figure out who you are, is flat-out wrong. And you can reliably track devices anyway without them having a "fixed" IP address; the advertisement industry has been extremely successfully doing that for years and they care a whit not about NAT.
