  • I use both ULA and global addresses. Servers set a token to make the last 64bits predictable, which simplifies dyndns. For some critical internal communication, I hard code the ULA address in my hosts file, for everything else, I rely on DNS (with global addresses). No DHCPv6.

    I usually just disable IPv4 on my VMs, unless there is a specific need for IPv4. Most container networks are single stack as well. I have a squid proxy that services can use to access IPv4 http/https destinations if really necessary (combined with some additional filter rules); ideally I would like to have 464xlat/a nat64 gateway, but I never bothered to set that up yet. I will likely do that when I buy a new router (end of year?). I expect all my devices to support CLAT by then, so that will be the end of IPv4 on my network.
















  • By your logic, obligate carnivores would have the larger brains. Humans are obligate omnivores. Studies show no significant differences in cognitive function, cardiovascular risk, or bone health when vegan diets meet recommended dietary allowance levels. Animal protein contributed during the evolution of the human brain, but the development was driven by cooking. Cooking externalized the energy required for digesting food, which allowed for a reduction of jaws/jaw muscles, and especially gut size, freeing energy that could be used by the brain instead.

    Also, the brain is fueled by glucose, not protein …


  • Germany. I found an article about a case where the parking offender tried to appeal the penalty (translated):

    The taxis picked up passengers waiting at the stops and drove them to other stops along the route. This went on for an hour, then the car parked not far from a sign saying “Please keep a sufficient distance from the tracks” was towed away and the route was clear again. This interactive view on Google Street View shows the location.

    When the VGF then demanded €973.13, €25 of this was a flat-rate fee for expenses – and the rest was the cost of the rail replacement taxis. After hearing witness statements, the court ruled out any manipulation by the taxi industry, and the court also found no evidence of any delay in towing the car.
