… how did this ever work? One of the files needed wasn’t even installed

@projectgus kind of sort of not really: kind of because a single /64 is almost guaranteed to represent a small number of people (at most a couple of hundred in an office or something), and it’s recommended that an ISP delegates aleast a /56 per customer (so you get 256 /64’s to play with). Sort of being that because the address range of a /64 is so large you can just turn on IPv6 privacy addresses for outbound new connections and jump between mostly-random addresses in your /64, which will obfuscate individual machines inside the subnet. And not really because programmers do not give a single shit about IPv6 and it’s unlikely their per-IP tracking works in IPv6 anyway.

@ariadne libpcre has a lot of crimes to answer for

@alanc you should submit leave for your 65’th birthday now…

@Jplonie @guysoft apparently, just like MEGA328 Arduinos

Are FPGA dev boards the new Arduinos? I seem to have acquired… 5… in the last month…

@GossiTheDog let’s see what happens in a couple of days. Good start that The Line is starting to notice atrocious IT security

@foone with the corresponding scary warnings:

@GossiTheDog weren’t most of those (especially the big consulting companies Accenture, KPMG, et al) going all-in with Facebook Metaverse too? I wonder what happened with that project for each of them…

@s0 I am ever so slightly relieved that it appears to be a cable that was manufactured for the domestic Chinese market, based on the cable entry to the mains plug being 180° away from the earth pin

@s0 AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I’m not sure what’s worse, the fact that they exist at all, or the fact that they appear to be commercially-manufactured cables that use molded plugs

@NanoRaptor paging @foone , Foone to the white courtesy phone

@forteller I love this. Modern cities that have been designed around a roadway master plan look amazing, eg Melbourne’s grid layout, and Canberra’s circular layout.

@MattHatton hey we’ve got the same wooden toy frame! Also nice baby-proofing under the table

Do we, as a species, dare to develop ASN.2 ?

I’m just hanging around #CatsOfMastadon #CatsThatShareOneBraincell
