I listed the 5 possible digits. What’s missing?

IPv6 subnet masks are long, but super easy because of hexadecimal. A bunch of Fs, then [EC8]? then a bunch of 0s.

Self-driving trucks will never be 100% autonomous. They will need a reliable data connection to a control center so humans can figure out how to deal with exceptional situations.

There will probably be occasional stupid traffic jams until the technology is perfected. As long as they avoid murderous rampages, we should be okay.

They’re saying $2.99 because it sounds better than $36/year.

The battery can deliver a stable voltage output of 1.25 V and a capacity of 110 mAh/g

110 mAh/g * 1.25 V * 1000 g/kg = 137 Wh/kg.

Lithium ion is around 250 Wh/kg, so this battery is around twice as heavy.

Java is still borked in a dual-stack environment: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8170568

On Chrome, I only ever recall seeing the dialog when I install an extension, or if an extension is updated to use additional permissions.

Firefox MV3 is different, in that the all_urls permission cannot be granted on install. If an extension requests all_urls, it installs with the permission disabled. The user has to manually enable it for one site or all.

IPvFoo is mostly useless without all_urls, which is why I made it show that button until the permission is granted.

Firefox requires explicit user interaction to grant the all_urls permission, although this only applies to Manifest V3. Here’s what it looks like on my extension:

I could’ve just reverted to Manifest V2 to avoid that step, but V3 will probably become mandatory someday.

In this case, disabling IPv6 is actually the right move. If the VPN provider doesn’t support IPv6, then there’s no way to allow to allow IPv6 Internet traffic without causing a leak/VPN bypass.

The right move for the VPN provider is to support IPv6. The right move for the user is to take their business to a provider that does.

“Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

There probably is some value in understanding why “evil” things were attractive to people at the time, because if you believe that evil always looks unambiguously evil, then you might fail to notice when it happens again.

I’m still using Win10 / Debian, but supposedly setting the language to English (Global) provides a cleaner install of Win11:

When has a “manager” ever persuaded world-class engineers to stop what they’re doing and build something cool? Who cares about words in a history book, when you have a fleet of autonomous fire-breathing metal monsters?

I think Elon’s been a total douche since the “pedo guy” comments, but that doesn’t invalidate his past accomplishments.

Yes, but he organized and funded those people. That was not a trivial task.

Not literally everything. SpaceX is the only company to reuse an orbital first stage rocket, and they’ve done it hundreds of times. That’s a damn impressive engineering accomplishment:
