  • I reject the notion that a shared prefix raises privacy concerns because the alternative is they all share a single IP address as they do in v4.

    Anyway, been v6 for years. Love it. It’s just easier to work with, to be honest. It took me a while to get it, but once I rotated my brain a little and stopped thinking in v4 logic then it all clicked. My ISP is insane and gave me a /48, so I have a lot of addresses.

    I know my prefix by head, something everyone is still telling me is too hard for them (skill issue). You also don’t have to remember 8 hextets, just your prefix. In my case that’s only 3, but for you it won’t be more than 4. It’s not that hard. I zero out all the hextets between my prefix and the last so my v4 and v6 addresses just look like this 192.168.78.160 and 2a05:f6c7:8321::160 respectively. Don’t have to remember two addresses when dualstacking.












  • Yeah let’s instead install a massive bloated shit project that the original developers left years ago and the maintainers don’t know heads from tails of the codebase because it’s too massive to maintain, with enough dependencies to make even a small child think he’s independent by comparison.

    All so that we can, uh, synchronize a markdown text file across 3 computers.

    These projects exist so that we don’t all have to re-invent the wheel every single time we need something simple. They have a purpose, even if they’re not pushing the envelope. I’ve developed a bunch of software to do extremely simple things for myself because all the existing options are massive and bloated and do a million more things than I need.

    I’m sure your projects look impressive on your resumé, though.



  • Even if that was possible, I don’t want to crash innocents peoples browsers. My tar pits are deployed on live environments that normal users could find themselves navigating to and it’s overkill when if you simply respond to 404 Not Found with 200 OK and serve 15MB on the “error” page then bots will stop going to your site because you’re not important enough to deal with. It’s a low bar, but your data isn’t worth someone looking at your tactics and even thinking about circumventing it. They just stop attacking you.
