Hah! Joke’s on you. I accidentally restarted my PC and updated it without wanting to.
Yeah? Well I was playing a game and it rebooted in the middle of a boss fight!
I was mid-proposal. She said, “Yes, as long as this call doesn’t e…” Thanks a lot, Microsoft!
i was using it to control the robot arms to operate my patient. at least its secure now!
Tell me you didnt take a look at your windows update settings without saying so.
Mine restarted while I was watching a movie.
Thanks Windows.
Linux time?
Linux always
A working clock is always right!
😏🐧
Just say you run Arch and move on.
I run Arch and move on.
Lies, you never move!
Mobility scooter. Duh.
btw.
I ran Arch and moved on
I fought the law and the law won.
Now THAT’S a story I can FEEL. Thank you.
Well, it’s not like you lost a pen, now, is it?
Edit: for anyone who is lost here, enjoy
Is it a Pilot G-2? 0.7mm?
I disabled ipv6 long ago and never moved. Not even blinked.
People always talk about Arch. I wonder what people think of other oses and the people who run them lol. Like I’m a bearded Debian user (closer to the look of the Dilbert comic unix guy).
I think those are really the only two options when it comes to Linux (that’s why I main Windows 10). Hacker man or Dilbert.
Well, I’d like to think I’m just a normal looking dude who blends in in a crowd. I just use Debian ‘cause I got sick of Windows’ shit a long time ago, like, back when telemetry was introduced in Windows XP. That was the first sign of things to come. When we would start losing control of our own OS and computers and losing privacy as well. I shouldn’t even notice the OS when I do normal computer shit, and I want to keep it that way. Those who are old enough to have grown up with PCs in the 90s get what I’m saying. We had control.
Ah man, you toughed it out clear into XP? Win2k was the last version I ever ran here. That whole shit of “oh you inserted a USB drive, please reboot” really got on my nerves. Plus trying to write code and having Windows crash once a week.
having Windows crash once a week
Several times per day sometimes if you came from the Win9x line like us normies had to use and not NT.
I haven’t seen a Windows BSOD in a long time on any of my systems…
I wish I could find something to help me convert my dell laptop into a Debian device. It would be all sorts of fun.
Ive had luck with puppy on older laptops. I have one running on a 2008 machine. Works ok.

I just like my build working. What’s wrong with that?
So it took a little while before I could run stable diffusion, I can now!
You run Arch and move on.
(Am I doing this right?)

You run Arch and move on.
I thought he was saying he’s sexually attracted to punguins…
I run Arch and since then moved on.
Still waiting for a distro named “Arch btw”

Cachy me outside. I’ll run arch over you.
I like Linux, but it can have security issues just as well.
Sure can. Just more eyeballs on it and 3rd party eyeballs.
Not every exploit is discovered minutes to hours after a git push. Some go unnoticed for years.
If Linux is so great, then explain why I can’t even install this latest security patch for Windows on my Tumbleweed??
You need to sudo zypper install win_patch
Great, it worked!
But now I have ads on my desktop, tiler, and all the menues feature ‘sponsored’ content instead of my shit.That’s a feature!

An anti-feature, thanks proprietary software!
As a networking nerd, I am endlessly frustrated with how many otherwise smart people are just ‘fuck ipv6 lmao’
Giving me goddamn flashbacks to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v26BAlfWBm8
Just sayin’
IPv6 genuinely made some really good decisions in its design, but I do question the default “no NAT, no private network prefixes” mentality since that’s not going to work so well for average Janes and Joes
No NAT doesn’t mean no firewall. It just means that you both don’t have to deal with NAT fuckery or the various hacks meant to punch a hole through it.
Behind NAT, hosting multiple instances of some service that uses fixed port numbers requires a load-balancer or proxy that supports virtual hosts. Behind CGNAT, good luck hosting anything.
For “just works” peer to peer services like playing an online co-op game with a friend, users can’t be expected to understand what port forwarding is, let alone how it works. So, we have UPnP for that… except, it doesn’t work behind double NAT, and it’s a gaping security hole because you can expose arbitrary ports of other devices if the router isn’t set up to ignore those requests. Or, if that’s not enough of a bad idea, we have clever abuse of IP packets to trick two routers into thinking they each initiated an outbound connection with the other.
can you tell me if any device in an IPv6 LAN can just assign itself more IP v6 adresses and thereby bypass any fw rule?
IPv6 has two main types of non-broadcast addresses to think about: link-local (fe80::) and public.
A device can self-assign a link-local address, but it only provides direct access to other devices connected to the same physical network. This would be used for peer discovery, such as asking every device if they are capable of acting as a router.
Once it finds the router, there are two ways it can get an IP address that can reach the wider internet: SLAAC and DHCPv6. SLAAC involves the device picking its own unique address from the block of addresses the router advertises itself as owning, which is likely what you’re concerned about. One option for ensuring a device can’t just pick a different address and pretend to be a new device is by giving it a subset of the router’s full public address space to work with, so no matter what address it picks, it always picks something within a range exclusively assigned to it.
Edit: I butchered the explanation by tying to simplify it. Rewrote it to try again.
In most cases, the router advertises the prefix, and the devices choose their own IPv6. Unless you run DHCPv6 (which really no-one does in reality, I don’t even think android will use it if present).
It doesn’t allow firewall bypass though, as the other commenter noted.
DHCPv6 is very much in use with large ISPs. SLAAC only lets you get a single /64 (one network) from the ISP, but if you use DHCPv6, which is also provided ISP side, you can often request a /60 to get you 16 networks to use. Also, DHCPv6 doesn’t base the IPv6 address off the MAC address like SLAAC does, so it is better for device privacy.
Why Android does not support DHCPv6 is beyond me. It’s honestly quite ridiculous as it makes configuring LAN-side DNS and other things a lot easier.
Dhcpv6-pd is used by isps for prefix delegation, which most routers support now (not so when my isp first started with it).
But for advertising prefixes on a lan most networks use router adverts.
They’re different use cases though.
ok. thank you. stuff like this just made me wonder: https://en.avm.de/service/knowledge-base/dok/FRITZ-Box-7590/573_Configuring-IPv6-in-the-FRITZ-Box/
for linux etc they suggest du enable dhcpv6 and i cant figure out where they adress this in their firewalls. still learning.
Best thing to do to test the firewall is run some kind of server and try to connect to your ipv6 on that port.
