Meh. There’s also .UK, which is not the country code for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland… that’s GB.

We also have .EU, so this stuff is all pretty flexible in some sense.

Country codes are defined by the ISO, which is not UN run.

In both the US and China software developers get paid a lot more than an average job. Not so in Europe.

“More like chewed out. I’ve been chewed out before.”

I was interested in that quote, since it seems incredible:

tldr: it originally appeared in slightly different form in a newspaper article by a critic of Jay Gould about his failure to get a particular policy through, and was probably not something Gould said in so many words.

Interesting though!

Justice Thomas? Is that you on Lemmy?

Dutch population started to decline a few years ago it you just look at births and deaths, and discount immigration and emigration.

From RFC 2804:

• The IETF believes that adding a requirement for wiretapping will make affected protocol designs considerably more complex. Experience has shown that complexity almost inevitably jeopardizes the security of communications even when it is not being tapped by any legal means; there are also obvious risks raised by having to protect the access to the wiretap. This is in conflict with the goal of freedom from security loopholes.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc2804/

This was written in 2000 in response to US government requests to add backdoors to voice-over-IP (VoIP) standards.

It was recognized 25 years ago that having tapping capabilities is fundamentally insecure.

lemmynsfw is awesome!

Hm, maybe. I know that de Tocqueville found Americans to be obsessed with money in the 1830’s. Nothing seems to have changed in the past 200 years in that regard. 🤔

I use it when shopping online because DuckDuckGo is shit for shopping in Holland.

I worked with a French guy in Amsterdam. His parents were Portuguese, but he was born and raised in France. As far as he was concerned, he was French.

Contrariwise, I worked with an American woman in Virginia. Her grandparents were Irish, and she considered herself Irish, in spite of having been born and raised in America, and both of her parents having been born and raised in America.

It is a kind of fetish in America to hyphenate yourself. Irish-American. Cuban-American. And so on.

My own theory is that this is because America has no culture going back many generations, so people try to find one.

Thank you for this! At least according to the Wikipedia article you’re right, and Pasteur invented the technique for wine. Beer came soon after, by others, but it was a long time until it was used on milk.

So this isn’t about routing really, rather about optimizing standby routers for recovery.

A few things make me nervous.

First, the description of the work involved seems to imply that your setup really needs more automated tooling. Nontrivial, but you’ve already mentioned typos, and that this is for large operations.

Second, using IPv4 for your management network is wasteful and needlessly complicated. Even if your customer traffic is all IPv4, there’s really no reason to use legacy protocols for internal routing.

IIRC Germany shut down their reactors because of Fukushima and the disaster there, not because of psyops.

I agree 100%.

Every article about “gen z is terrible” or “boomers had it so easy” should be viewed as a way for capital to divide labor.

I’m not sure that I understand the benefit of “unnumbered” routing. It sounds like there are numbers (well, “identifiers”), just not IP addresses.

It’s hard to know without more context, but you can use things like IPv6 multicast to manage reachability. This will let you set arbitrary sets of endpoints that talk to each other, and you can still us IP-based tools to debug connectivity, measure performance, and so on.

This strikes me as nonsensical. If one person stops eating meat then the meat industry will create less waste. Maybe not exactly 1 person less, but unless they literally trash all of the meat that person would have consumed, it must be less.

Let me try again.

People cannot find places to live.

The government decides that is because landlords cannot make enough profit.

So the government tries to remove protections for renters, to benefit renters.
