On a completely random note, the shit the US pulled on Autistici/Inventati is absolutely rippling through the networking community, and people are actively discussing what to do about it… and against it.
The US will probably be able to pull these stunts a few more times, but hopefully not too many. There's work to be done.

ah yeah the "unmanaged" part there really just means moving complexity around… and increasing it… 🫠

/128 (GUA), issued by the RADIUS server by filling the lower 64bit with random bytes. (It's an IPsec VPN, the client can't choose its own address sadly.)
You can absolutely use /128 with ULAs; the /64 boundary is a SLAAC concept.
What do you need RIOs for in your setup?

there you go, there's now a "drop-ipv4" option 🙂 (and a "v0.1" tag)
… haven't tested this as much … maybe I should copy over the tests from glibc … but right now this is only a "because it annoyed me enough" thing so no tests

it temporarily had that functionality already during hacking, as a side effect 🙂… might readd it

DNS64 / #nat64 in glibc's NSS…
…why did I have to hack this together? It seems so obvious… but I couldn't find anything

there is nothing to support /yet/, this is exploratory and will, at best, be shipped on some embedded devices in a few years, maaaaaaaybe.

Seeing what dn42 has become truly warms my heart… especially the bits like this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48501597 :rainbow_heart:

for the non-German speakers, since it's not in the tweet: she lists 4 European militaries as credible:
Ukraine, Turkey, Poland, and Finland.

it's also remarkable that she's saying this in *perfect, completely accent free* German on German television (as a native German speaker I was seriously WTF'd by that, - she grew up bilingual & partially in Germany. Still, powerful.)
And the host pointed out midway through that she hadn't mentioned the German military. (And I'll add: neither the French, regardless their driving EU defense ambitions.)

not yet. From your post I assume it doesn't work properly?

Oh for fucks' sake…
HomeAssistant VM: #IPv6 capable
Philips/WIZ lightbulbs: IPv6 capable
Shelly relays: IPv6 capable
ESPHome DSMR-P1 gateway: NOT IPv6 capable 🤬
"Defaults to false"… are you for fucking real, #ESPHome ?

as a networking person: please don't use 10Gbase-T. It's a pile of power-wasting, overheating garbage with short range. 10Gbase-R at 10.3125Gbd is the only real 10GE.
(Which means optical fibre. Did I mention that while yes it is a bit more fragile than copper cable, it's nowhere near as fragile as people think?)

WebUSB…
I had looked at it for a project of my own ("Web" interface for an STM32), but I'm primarily a Firefox user and Mozilla decided they don't want to support it for security reasons. After some research and thought, I actually agree with them for the general case.
My "way out" would be to try for WebUSB support for browser extensions rather than general webpages, to get an extra "barrier".
…maybe this is a good spot to get a few +1s on that? [except I can't find where… 🤔]

or just define THCI, for an USB 2.0 controller attached via USB 3.0. Like Thunderbolt does it for providing USB ports down the line…

"your modified version must prominently offer […] an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server"
Where are you getting that that "network server" must be the related/the same as the software is running on? To me this reads as "a link to the commit hash on github" would satisfy this requirement, with github being that network server…
(has this ever been enforced?)
