☝️this... In some Linux distros you can set the address to ::78 and it'll use the prefix on the RA but use whatever you configure as a suffix.

IPv8 doesn't really solve the problems it claims to solve. Plus it's not like there's a working/reference implementation.

000

It could have been an equipment or isp issue. Modern gear does well with IPv6 and in fact some test data on IPv6.army shows it performing better than IPv4 on average. I think what I'm getting at is don't give up on it. I get turning it off if things break, but try it again.

What exactly was misbehaving? Was your network dual-stack or were you trying out something like IPv6-mostly/only?

WRT pip and publish cooldowns, the `P3D` is an ISO8601 spec for duration, similar to how `2026-05-30T20:31:14Z` is an iso 8601 spec for datetime. That's probably why they chose it, even though iso8601 isn't my favorite choice for durations.

Are there any signs that traffic is actually transiting into space? Or does this look more like a company consolidation effort?

The Trump/ICE method is akin to stochastic terrorism. You flood a city with untrained hotheads. You pump them up with white nationalist propaganda and tell them to escalate and kick ass. You also make clear you'll shield them from any legal accountability. You don't know specifically who is going...

@pythonbytes.fm for your live recordings, do you happen to have an iCal url I can add to my calendar? I'm anti-YouTube-notify-bell (well really anti-most-app-notifications) but I still want to join one of the recordings.

When you ask a (human) bullshitter a question, they'll gladly give you an answer and you can never really be sure if it's correct. They might actually know it or they might just be making it up to provide you with an answer. You can never trust the answer of a bullshitter.

James Harr @jamesharr.me · 01/12/2025

It's not really saying that it's crap, it's saying that "LLMs are bullshitters" in the same sense that you might encounter a human who is a bullshitter.

@brianokken.bsky.social you mentioned that your daughter got some bad chemistry advice from ChatGPT (and to her credit, called BS on it). You should check out the paper "ChatGPT is bullshit" [1]. [1] eprints.gla.ac.uk/327588/1/327...

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

BREAKING. From a reliable source. MITRE support for the CVE program is due to expire tomorrow. The attached letter was sent out to CVE Board Members.

I was going to get in touch to see if he was interested in finding another maintainer, found a link to his FB profile from his GitHub profile, and noticed the post saying he had passed. That is if I'm understanding the translation of the post correctly. It's a sad way to find out.

@samatkins.co Thanks for forking pylibyear, it solved some problems with libyear running on newer python versions. So I hate to be the one to mention this, but I think the author of the original Python project (Nasir Hussain) passed away back in May of 2021.

TIL that (at least some) filing cabinets have a big block of concrete at the back. It makes complete sense but I just never knew...

It doesn't get you out of doing labs and POCs to ensure it actually does work, but that makes it a lot harder to fudge an RFP response

James Harr @jamesharr.me · 01/02/2025

@ehorley.bsky.social @jjx.bsky.social Listened to PP046. on the topic of RFPs and getting IPv6 support in enterprise gear: Apparently one of the few phrases that can actually get through is "must work in the *absence of IPv4*" because "works on IPv6" isn't specific enough.

The argument that one unified voice gets NE more attention is flawed. We get far more attention when both parties think they need to work for our vote. The same is true for other states too.

James Harr @jamesharr.me · 31/01/2025

@meganhunt.bsky.social I see the effort to make Nebraska a winner take all state is back... I know you'll fight against it but is there anything I as a private citizen can do beyond keeping you elected?

I take one issue with this and it's the word "cheaper". It might be cheaper than ChatGPT but it's probably not cheaper than a vanilla Google search circa 2022

James Harr @jamesharr.me · 11/12/2024

Occasionally, I'll find a webpage or app that doesn't behave over 6RD and can only assume that it's the tunnel overhead capping the MTU, and something along the path is blocking the ICMPv6 "Packet Too Big"

James Harr @jamesharr.me · 11/12/2024

Honestly, CenturyLink's 6RD implementation was fairly performant for me. I have gig fiber in Omaha and IPv6 speed tests are solidly above 500mbps and usually above 900mbps. Still bug them for native IPv6 support. I've been doing it every few months.
