  • Why is so much of IPv4 allocated to multicast when it cannot be used by the public at large ?

    Jump

  • They are still in use as multicast. Typically it's for local traffic.

    I don't think multicast over the internet would have taken off as multicast requires all routers between the source and any destinations to be multicast aware. Each would need to keep track of the subscriptions, meaning more resources that would mean higher cost. There was also less interest as one of the pluses of internet delivery was that delivery was on demand.

    In the end cdns were going to be created anyway for static content and streaming could just use the same systems to produce effectively the same improvements.

    But your next question would be why have they not done it for the experimental range.

    Well, everything knows those packets are not on the internet so will block them. If you want to ask the internet to upgrade everything for that, well just ask how the ip6 upgrade is going.

  • The first item on the list is probably also just home but they don't want to confuse people. So really you have lots of consumer machines, and 3 business machines.

  • I don't think ofcom expect to get any money. It's either to just be a precursor to requiring a DNS/ip block by isps. Or just as they have told that they have to do this anyway.

  • Well that was a predictable outcome of commercial vpns. The "protect your data from isps" line never really answered the "what about the VPN provider" question.

  • Cabled from Vodafone is not much better, ip6 does auto configure from the router with a local address, so it at least supports it. but no routable ips yet.

  • Images might be even less, it looks like a fair amount of the site is inline SVG.

  • Adult sites are stashing exploit code inside racy .svg files

    Jump

  • I think it's saying that the default association for SVG is edge, as setting a default browser does not change that. If you use another image viewer for SVG it might behave differently.

  • Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30

  • You would kinda notice the disk usage. Last I saw it was quite image heavy and could use a fair amount if you had a lot of activity.

  • In case you are interested, facebook now opens links in a site of thier's, but it contains an embedded window of the site you were linked to. This means that facebook can follow any other links you follow while on that site. It has the site effect of you not visiting that site but instead facebook's "hidden window" shows in the history.

    It has no practical reason to exist other than allowing them to gather more data.

    Some mobile browsers might have an add-in to auto-break you out of the window.

  • Could global warming make Antarctica habitable?

    Jump

  • The artic (north pole) is just sea ice, so no land.

    Antarctic (south pole) has a continent (Antarctica,) so land, but has a very think layer of ice over much it it. Due to the shape, there are also some areas that are just sea lice.

  • 78,000-year-old footprints from Neanderthal man, child and toddler discovered on beach in Portugal

    Jump

  • They were probably made in a slightly dried mud, then sand or other light particles were blown over. Over time this was compacted and the mud became harder than the sand. They are probably still not so hard that you wouldn't have to be careful to reveal them.

    There have been some trackways found from dinosaurs, so they can last even longer.

  • Iirc there was a previous attempt to patch this, it would appear a slight variation was not fixed in the patch. Might be why people are saying zero day.
