@arstechnica only the front in this picture looks horrendous, everything else looks ok. Let's see the tail if it doesn't look like an Asian "appealing" design
Now my #IPv6 only network has IPv6 to IPv4 egress using DNS64 in #unbound and an af-to rule for 64:FF9B::/96. I just need to stand up an IPv6 only NGINX reverse proxy and the whole network will have native IPv6 and IPv4 access to the internet.
The configuration is very simple and once in place is set and forget.
Do not roll out IPv4 for any new deployments. Also think about migrating away from dual stack.

In mentally skipping directly from Bitcoin to AGI, it is easy to forget that just a few years ago, both Facebook and Apple and to a lesser extent other tech companies, and also a huge amount of Tech Opinion Youtube Guys, were absolutely no holds barred 100% all in totally convinced that The Metaverse was going to be a thing

Australia's eSafety Act comes into force on December 10. Here's a guide for federated service providers including some practical advice on how to demonstrate good faith compliance.
For now, no federated services are on the list for enforcement, but being prepared is easy, simple, and way better than frantically responding to a takedown or other message from eSafety.

Your impression: Is Karoline Leavitt better or worse at lying for Trump than Sean Spicer was?
(Please elaborate why in the replies)
how do people like... do things and then keep doing them until they're done instead of "getting scared of things being done and never finishing anything"
… these situations apply.
This is the reason, the Trump regime is coming up with weird terms like “war on drugs” to insinuate there is a war (there is not), and “narco terrorists” to insinuate that civilians can randomly be seen as terrorists (which they cannot).
They are executing civilians who have not been sentenced to the death penalty by a judge in a court of law.
This is murder.

Also, Europe has been tagging the word ‘hybrid’ in front of ‘war’ so we can pretend it’s not war and avoid economic shock.

@arstechnica As one of my uni lecturers always used to say, “nearly means not”.

SOUND THE MARACAS!!
We engage in an evolutionary construction that continues a tradition started by our physical world long before we were here, and carried on into computing from its earliest days.
It's also a process that mirrors how creative, explorative work is done.
@juliewebgirl @virtuous_sloth sure, but there is a significant difference between calling something a "war" colloquially, and then formally declaring actual war, which is a move that changes the legality of lethal actions.
"War on drugs"
"Narcoterrorism"
Those terms are not "weird terms" that Trump has come up with.
They both have existed since the 1980's.
What *IS* new is that this year, by executive order, "foreign drug cartels" are now classified as "foreign terrorist organizations".
No new terms, only new designations.
It's not a strong argument if you yourself are coming up with weird conclusions that are not accurate.
Flight stronger.

![Our evolutionary construction, the layering, neatly reflects how we do this kind of creative, exploratory work, and how the mind engages with ideas. Ted Nelson, in Literary Machines:
Complicated ideas evolve slowly. People who do not work endlessly with ideas may not easily imagine how many are the steps that intensive work with ideas entails; how many are the guesses, postulations, reconsiderations, shifts of thought, confusions, resyntheses, reintegrations; how much is the rework of dearly-held insights in clouds of confusion. The swirl of needed changes never seems to end. […]
This could not have been done with schedules and deadlines. When a project requires both exhaustive exploration and unusual inspiration, it is going to take however long it takes.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/656/918/714/974/827/original/ab95050fbb3c15d5.png)
