Somebody is pretty salty for no good reason. The maintainers own patch is nicer code than the suggested patch - and the change is small enough that there just isn't anything available to guide the reporter to a better solution without wasting everyone's time.

I'd probably have added a thanks for debugging effort into the commit message myself - but "please accept my patch because I want to have code in the kernel" is a very stupid thing to say, and the maintainer offering a suitable problem to fix is more than I'd have done in that situation.

I'd have guessed mostly countries which were late to the v4 distribution to be in there - but apart from India and Malaysia everyone should have enough v4.

I guess the long delays combined with changes in v4 usage by cloud hosters gobbling up any v4 addresses while also not properly doing v6 yet changed the situation also in countries which should have had more or less sufficient v4 reserves.

It's still shocking how long it is taking. I stopped doing IPv6 workshops back in 2006 as I got tired of waiting - and had a few years of no v6 usage myself after sixxs shut down. I only could get proper v6 at home last year.

My kids grow up with multiple languages. I told my daughter early on not to bother with German numbers larger than 20, and to select a different language to do math in her head.

For a few years she was just saying larger German numbers like 9-2, or was writing them down, though now at 7 she seems to get better at converting them correctly.

Parts of that make me pretty angry. I prevented cross origin iframes for years, and refused to buy on pages which were embedding payment verification screens like that instead of just going to that page - and back then one of my banks even was sensible enough to fail verifications if loaded in an iframe.

But nowadays pretty much none of the authentication bits work if you don't allow those. It was always obvious it is a bad idea, and if it were not for those idiot designers we could just have removed support for cross origin iframes from browsers years ago. Nobody needs that, they just shouldn't be supported at all.

Also: The Wii is about to turn 17. And is holding up surprisingly well. My kids love the sports and dance games - and none of the newer platforms really managed to provide the same feeling for that kind of activity games.

Was der Artikel nicht erwaehnt: Die hatten noch eine geheime Marinebasis - die von der Ukraine in der Nacht davor zerstoert wurde. Was dazu fuehrte dass das Stabstreffen in das regulaere Marinehauptquartier verlegt wurde, und dort dann von dem Angriff gestoert wurde.

Im gleichen Zeitrahmen wurden auch noch die Fuehrungsstaebe anderer Einheiten, sowohl im besetzten Gebiet als auch in Russland (Kursk) angegriffen.

Am Boden hat sich in den letzten 6 Monaten IMO nicht so viel getan.

Es hat sich nicht viel an Gelaendegewinnen getan - wenn man nur auf die Groesse schaut. Wenn man sich die strategische Bedeutung anschaut sieht das wieder etwas anders aus.

In Kherson haben wir den Brueckenkopf auf der anderen Flusseite den die Ukraine jetzt seit Monaten anscheinend weitgehend ungestoert ausbaut. Die Gegend hat auch eine andere Art von Erde als praktisch der komplette Rest der Ukraine - und wird nicht so uebler Schlamm wenn es im Herbst anfaengt zu regnen. Gut moeglich dass die hier einen Angriff vorbereiten fuer wenn ein guter Teil der restlichen Front die Bewegung von schwerem Geraet unmoeglich macht.

Wenn sie in den naechsten Wochen noch etwas naeher an Tokmak rankommen (auch ein Gebiet das nicht komplett im Schlamm versinken wird) haetten sie Kontrolle ueber die Schienen und Strassen auf denen Russland die Truppen um einen Ausbruch aus dem Brueckenkopf zu verhindern verschieben muesste.

Ukraine hat jetzt mehrfach gesagt dass es keine Pause in der Regenzeit geben wird - dass sie planen die verschlammten Gebiete als natuerliche Hindernisse zu benutzen waere da naheliegend.

In den Schlammgebieten selber wird das wieder ein reiner Infanteriekampf - wo russische Artillerie ein massives Problem waere. Bei selbiger hat Russland aber seit Monaten absurd hohe Verluste. Bliebe noch Luftunterstuetzung - aber Ukraine schaltet seit Monaten gezielt Luftabwehr aus, und greift russische Flughaefen an. Falls Ukraine tatsaechlich im Sueden eine Offensive fuer die Regenzeit plant koennte das mit ukrainischer Lufthoheit sein (neben der inzwischen erreichten Artillerieueberlegenheit auf der kompletten Front).

A well proven clbuttic solution.

Zumindest frueher konnte man noch oft zuschauen wie hinten der naechste Spiess zusammengebaut wurde. Aber auch angeliefertes nicht-Hack waere noch besser als Hack.

Ich bin inzwischen nur noch ab und an auf Besuch in Deutschland - aber nen ordentlichen Doener haette ich da schon gerne einmal. (Und die Frau auch - sie hatte ihren ersten Doener vor ~8 Jahren auf Gran Canaria, da hat ein ausgewanderter Deutscher ein excellentes Doenerrestaurant)

Es ist inzwischen verdammt schwer einen Doener zu finden der nicht Hack ist.

Out of curiosity what are the other hardware issues?

I'm generally not a friend of their USB-C expansion modules - which is mainly due to lots of experience trying to expand older notebooks with USB stuff. USB is not designed for devices to keep a state over suspends, so depending on what kind of hardware you plug in you get interesting results. This may be better with current spec (at least I hope they fixed some of that stuff when they worked on USB-C docking), but given how much I've seen fail I don't feel comfortable to fully rely on that.

I'd have preferred to have a few more mPCIe-slots (I think they just have one for the WLan module), and more storage slots (which I think they finally fixed with the latest mainboard version with two NVME slots). Also what they've done about the connection for the separate graphics card might solve my complaints about lack of mPCIe-slots.

If we not only look at the mainboard, but the complete notebook - I don't like the keyboard, the screen, the case in general, and the fixed battery - but unfortunately all those are bad on pretty much any notebook younger than 10 years.

One small issue that people seem to have, is their unwillingness to talk about core boot or libre boot, but that's a small thing.

It's a major issue for me - currently I'm keeping my old x230 alive, but eventually that'll have to be replaced.

I'm running it with heads, which allows me to do secure boot under my control. I don't really want to have my main notebook without that nowadays.

I don't like any of the current notebook keyboards, so it'll be a "build yourself" project anyway - and the framework mainboard would be nice as they keep the dimensions stable, even though I'm not a fan of some other hardware choices.
