How do things outside the LAN talk to things inside the LAN that have ULA addresses. . .?

One big conceptual difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is the notion that any single host on the network is expected to have multiple, simultaneously-useful IPv6 addresses and this is totally normal and fine.

Any IPv6-enabled host is necessarily going to have a link-local address which can only be used to communicate with other hosts on the local network/subnet.

If your ISP offers IPv6 connectivity, or if you’ve set up an IPv6 tunnel from an IPv6 tunnel provider then a host on your network will also have a globally-routable IPv6 address which was assigned from your router via DHCPv6 or (more commonly) self-assigned using SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration) which is an IPv6 way for machines to self-assign addresses is a sane, interoperable way without requiring a setup and operation of a service like DHCP(v6). Many IPv6 networks do not need to use run a DHCPv6 server at all and rely solely on SLAAC host self-assignments and local IPv6 router discovery protocols to find DNS servers and eligible gateways to other networks and the internet at large.

The block of IPv6 addresses used for your local machines is delegated by your ISP or tunnel provider. It can be static or dynamic and the underlying protocols will handle if that network range changes. IPv6 generally is tolerant of a host’s public IP addresses changing at any time without disrupting connections or services.

With privacy extensions (enabled by default on all mainstream operating systems) a host on your network might have additional publicly-routable addresses which rotate frequently for privacy. Outbound traffic for the host will prefer these more private addresses for new connections. These addresses are ephemeral and change frequently.

In rare cases you might set up ULA addresses which are static and usable on your internal networks but will not be routed to the internet. They can be used for hosting services on your local network which need to potentially span multiple subnets/VLANs and in particular are useful for internal resources like name servers which cannot rely on DNS lookups for address resolution. Most networks will not use ULA addresses and normal use cases do not require them.

At any given moment, an IPv6-enabled host will have multiple active addresses all used for different types of traffic and it’s important to break any assumptions you have carried over from IPv4 about the relationship between IP addresses and hosts on the network. Your host might be using a link local address to talk to another machine on a shared internal subnet while also using temporary, globally-routable IP privacy address to talk to a server on the internet. Multiple addresses can be in use at the same time to reach different endpoints in the world.

There are still options for disc-by-mail rental online. Netflix shut down their business but there are smaller companies still serving the remaining market.

… when there’s literally no other option to own it in a way it can’t be just taken from you …

There’s at least one legal route that’s still viable.

I buy lots of Blu-ray and 4K UHD discs. I rip them straight on to my Jellyfin server. In fact, there’s been renewed vitality in disc releases during the past few years. Small shops like Shout Factory and Arrow are buying rights to old (‘60s through ‘00s) films that were shot on 35mm. They re-scan and remaster for UHD 4K and then straight to physical disc. That’s a cheap production pipeline with modern tech.

I’ve been having a blast re-visiting films that I never saw in the theater and only know from VHS or DVD rentals. Seeing them again with fresh eyes in 4K has been really gratifying.

That, plus new release discs keep me with more options than I have time to watch.

Is AI in this ethical and sustainable AI?

It’s possible to make use of the full suite of HA AI tooling with entirely open source, on-premises, behind-the-firewall resources. That’s actually damn awesome and can do some cool things. There’s a lot you can do on a Raspberry Pi or an old Apple Silicon Mac, it doesn’t take a lot of hardware for basic stuff. Ambitious usage is going to drive you to into a budget on par with “Gaming PC.”

You can set up complex AI automation flows and voice assistant interactions without giving a penny to any of the many “ai” companies you might not want to support.

People are, in general, still boiling the oceans to produce all those interesting models you can run. Indirectly, you’re sustaining that activity by giving it interest and inertia.

Where do you draw your line?

Have you found this approach to be effective in any way at anything at all?

What do they pack them in?

Lending and credit from western banks dried up for Trump, but he continued to find willing lenders overseas. It’s likely that he owes hundreds of millions of dollars to Russian oligarchs and as a result is beholden to Putin because he can’t afford for those loans to be called.

Found the hate!

Ironically, by selling out so quickly they are really damaging the quality of the results they will get. The overwhelming majority of those kits just got sold to a bunch of coffee nerds with notifications set for his channel and not the broad consumer base they say they want to reach.

I think you misread. The article seems to refer to Thomas’ time when he served in the Reagan administration and working alongside Welters who was an executive at UnitedHealthCare at the time.

I agree it’s awkwardly phrased and hard to follow.

GenX Humor: Pointing out that they forgot to put GenX in the joke

I think many are simply arguing against your unconventional use of the term “socialist” to describe politicians who are definitely not socialist.

You are describing the GPL. FOSS encompasses many licenses in addition to the GPL and those other licenses do not fit your description above.

HP peaked with the LaserJet IIIsi. It’s all been downhill ever since.
