IPv6 is too complex, error prone and unsupported to deploy without shooting yourself in the foot, even now, a few decades after introduction.

Which is purely down to people not testing things before releasing them, because the support is there but there's layers of unnecessary stuff put in the way. Like I had an old ISP provided router that ran Linux, but the management UI was only ever tested against v4 networks so none of the v6 stuff was actually hooked up correctly.

Support in desktops and mobile devices is effectively 100%, but even in embedded hardware there's often full support, just not enabled correctly or tested.

If you don’t have ipv6 internally, you probably can’t access ipv6 externally. 6to4 gateways are a thing. 4to6? Not so much.

I'm pretty sure stateful gateways do exist, but it's a massive ball of complexity that would be entirely avoided if people just used native v6.

It's failing storage, top half of the display is EXT4 complaining it can't read the SD card, bottom half is the result of that, services can't start.

e.g. one monitor is 96dpi, and the other is 192dpi, moving a window from one monitor to the other shouldn't result in the window becoming a different physical size, and it should render at a natural resolution on both (i.e. scaling it to half size for display on the 96dpi monitor doesn't count)

Only exception I got is global warming. We’ve never played this particular game before.

We also never had nukes before.

The conditions have been worse in the past, but the risks are so much worse these days.

we don’t have gestures broadly to American Evangelicalism going on here in Aus.

Hillsong says hi.

It depends on the type of input validation you're doing, a bunch of it is built into the browser and you don't need JS for it.

This is a problem that Nvidia is capable of solving but they haven’t been interested in it for over a decade so I don’t see them starting now.

They actually recently open sourced a bunch of required infrastructure, and hired a bunch of the OSS driver maintainers.

It's all still pretty crap, but there's more hope now.

It's not fraud, it's interest.

If you use a debit card and can't cover a transaction, it just doesn't go through. If you have a credit card then the bank pays and now you owe them, and they'll charge you extra for that privilege.

UUIDs are essentially random numbers, crypto schemes are not, they're not comparable.

They're also not using requests very efficiently, so who knows.
