Yes, because Docker becomes significantly more powerful once every container has a different publicly addressable IP.

Altough IPv6 support in Docker is still lacking in some areas right now, so add that to the long list of IPv6 migration todos.

There is this notion that IPv6 exposes any host directly to the internet, which is not correct. When the client IP is attacked “directly” the attacker still talks to the router responsible for your network first and foremost.

While a misconfiguration on the router is possible, the same is possible on IPv4. In fact, it’s even a “feature” in many consumer routers called “DMZ host”, which exposes all ports to a single host. Which is obviously a security nightmare in both IPv4 and IPv6.

Just as CGNAT is a thing on IPv4, you can have as many firewalls behind one another as you want. Just because the target IP always is the same does not mean it suddenly is less secure than if the IP gets “NATted” 4 times between routers. It actually makes errors more likely because diagnosing and configuring is much harder in that environment.

Unless you’re aggressively rotating through your v6 address space, you’ve now given advertisers and data brokers a pretty accurate unique identifier of you. A much more prevalent “attack” vector.

That is what the privacy extension was created for, with it enabled it rotates IP addresses pretty regularily, there are much better ways to keep track of users than their IP addresses. Many implementations of the privacy extension still have lots of issues with times that are too long or with it not even enabled by default.

Hopefully that will get better when IPv6 becomes the default after the heat death of the universe.

Will take a look at the talk once I get time, thanks. If you can find the original one you were talking about, please link.

For servers, there is some truth that the address space does not provide much benefit since the addressing of them is predictable most of the time.

However, it is a huge win in security for private internet. Thanks to the privacy extension, those IPs are not just generated completely random, they also rotate regularily.

It should not be the sole source of security but it definitely adds to it if done right.

With NAT on IPv4 I set up port forwarding at my router. Where would I set up the IPv6 equivalent?

The same thing, except for the router translating 123.123.123.123 to 192.168.0.250 it will directly route abcd:abcd::beef to abcd:abcd::beef.

Assuming you have multiple hosts in your IPv6 network you can simply add “port forwardings” for each of them. Which is another advantage for IPv6, you can port forward the same port multiple times for each of your hosts.

I guess assumptions I have at the moment are that my router is a designated appliance for networking concerns and doing all the config there makes sense, and secondly any client device to be possibly misconfigured. Or worse, it was properly configured by me but then the OS vendor pushed an update and now it’s misconfigured again.

That still holds true, the router/firewall has absolute control over what goes in and out of the network on which ports and for which hosts. I would never expose a client directly to the internet, doesn’t matter if IPv4 or IPv6. Even servers are not directly exposed, they still go through firewalls.

Anything connected to an untrusted network should have a firewall, doesn’t matter if it’s IPv4 or IPv6.

There’s functionally no difference between NAT on IPv4 or directly allowing ports on IPv6, they both are deny by default and require explicit forwarding. Subnetting is also still a thing on IPv6.

If anything, IPv6 is more secure because it’s impossible to do a full network scan. My ISP assigned 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696 addresses just to me. Good luck finding the used ones.

With IPv4 if you spin up a new service on a common port it usually gets detected within 24h nowadays.

Right you are, but don’t start telling everyone so I can’t silently download my lossless albums from Tidal, Deezer and Qobuz anymore.

Pretty disappointed so far, almost none of the prompts I tried came out better in SD3. It also completely botches anything humanoid.

Separating the artist from the art is fine for me as long as you don’t support them. There is nothing inherently wrong with consuming media you like from a controversial figure.

Of course it’s hard to separate the artist and the art if you actively give them money for it.

I like some of Kanye West’s music but I would never spend a single cent on one of his albums, watch an ad on Youtube for his music videos or listen to his songs on streaming services.

That’s a shame because ionity is absolute trash.

0.69 EUR/kWh is a robbery and requiring a subscription to fill your car cheaper is a scam. They are doing it with taxpayers’ money as well.

Imagine a publicly funded gas station with those conditions and people would lose their mind.

Does the game have anything going for it at all?

Played it during the beta and it’s not like it’s an inherently bad game, but Left 4 Dead did it all better and 10 years before.

It’s on sale for 5 bucks all the time but even for that price I never had the desire to play if over Left 4 Dead.

Just finished the DLC now and for 12 bucks I think the DLCs are excellent. Not worth 40 bucks but definitely worth it on sale.

The double marauder encounters were incredibly annoying and some platform/puzzle segments were pretty unclear on where you need to go. Having to add lengthy cutscenes so people know where to go sort of should tell them that the level design is not up to spec. But overall very enjoyable, thanks for the recommendation!

I mainly use it instead of googling and skimming articles to get information quickly and allow follow up questions.

I do use it for boring refactoring stuff though.

Those are also the main uses cases I use it for.

Really good for getting a quick overview over a new topic and also really good at proposing different solutions/algorithms for issues when you describe the issue.

Doesn’t always respond correctly but at least gives you the terminology you need to follow up with a web search.

Also very good for generating boilerplate code. Like here’s a sample JSON, generate the corresponding C# classes for use with System.Text.Json.JsonSerializer.

Hopefully the hardware requirements will come down as the technology gets more mature or hardware gets faster so you can run your own “coding assistant” on your development machine.

I prefer to do things properly once rather than do it again every day.

For example, I have an automation that I can trigger from my phone with a single button that does all these things:

• Lowers all my blinds in the living room
• Turns on all lights in the living room and dims them a little bit
• Powers up the smart plugs for my projector, receiver and player(s)
• Sets the correct volume and source on the receiver
• Starts playing random music in my living room

The alternative would be to do each of these steps manually, every day I get home. I’m lazy, probably wouldn’t do it all or just leave stuff running.

IoT devices (the non-shitty ones that don’t connect to the internet) become useful together when they are automated.

HDR is an issue. It just doesn’t seem to work right. Media players do all kinds of weird stuff. I’ve seen six screencaps from six media players taking snapshots of the same file, and they all had their colours wrong in different ways on Linux. VLC managed to get the colours right, but then lacked some other features. The Linux version of his previous media player uses different codecs on Linux so it suffers from the same problem.

Not surprising, there’s zero HDR support on Linux desktop as of right now. You either need a player that can tonemap from HDR to SDR or you need to run your entire desktop through gamescope (which is what Steam Deck is doing).

However, KDE Plasma 6 releases next month and it’s the first desktop environment to come with rudimentary HDR support. So things are evolving in that area.

Besides the tip given by someone else there’s also a mod for PC that makes the scary parts significantly less scary: https://outerwildsmods.com/mods/eotebrighterdreams

Did you try Sunshine and Moonlight? A little rough around the edges but the most reliable solution that I ever used. Also has the lowest latency out of the ones I tested.

There are 30,000 exclusives on steam.

There’s a huge difference between paying a publisher to only publish on your platform and publishers picking their distribution platform themselves. Valve pays 0 dollars for publishers to be exclusive to Steam.

No, not really. Sony, Microsoft, Stadia, and most storefronts have exclusives with benefits.

I never said any of them are any better, just because it’s industry standard doesn’t make it good. If you pay publishers to release games exclusively on your platform and you are not actively funding development you are anti-competitive in my eyes. (Also Stadia doesn’t exist anymore)

Overall, you should be made at the studios that accept the offer instead of Epic.

I am mad at both and I do not support either.

Epic is just trying to fund indie teams

If only that were true I would be less mad. Most of the time they try to snatch up games that are already finished or were already planning to release on Steam/GOG. Sometimes they even pull games from other stores (Rocket League and Fall Guys) after they released or just before they release (Metro). That’s not the practices of someone who wants to compete but someone who wants to get into the market by force without actively doing anything good for the industry.

Not “bad” but disappointing: No Man’s Sky. There’s a lot to be liked here but as someone who has played Elite Dangerous everything is just so incredibly dumbed down.

Fighting is trivially easy, just hold S, shoot and grab a snack while doing it.

There’s absolutely no consequences for anything. It doesn’t matter how much fuel I have because I can just find new fuel anywhere or teleport somewhere completely different. Doesn’t matter where I log out because the game will just throw me to the same system as my coop partner anyway.

Doesn’t matter if the authorities want me, just fly into a station and all is forgotten. Got contraband? Just tell them to get lost and fly away casually. No bounty on my head, no nothing.

Don’t get me wrong, Elite is definitely way too hardcore for casual play but at the same time the only thing No Man’s Sky has done is make me want to play Elite again.

Epic really hasn’t done anything bad.

You don’t consider bribing game publishers to only release on their platform instead of actually competing bad?

I don’t mind if they fund development and then release only on their platform. I do mind of they snatch up games that could have seen a broader release, if they weren’t so lazy and actually developed a store worth using.
