IPV6 is already rolled out in parts of the world. My provider has a Dual Stack lite architecture, the home connection is over IPV6, IPV4 is normally being tunneled via V6 through a provider grade NAT.

As I AM a network nerd, I pay for a dedicated IPV4 address every month, so I can reach my stuff from outside from old IPV4 only networks.

So when I plug in my router, connect a windows machine and just google stuff then all this traffic will be IPV6 without me configuring anything.

It's so great fun having the attack surface being doubled by dual stack setups.

A lot of places overheat the milk until it becomes "construction foam" (Bauschaum). That would explain the bad taste.

I'm frothing milk at home when I want a cappuccino, so I put it into a metal vessel and hold the vessel with my hand during foaming so I can feel when the milk is nearing 80C (feels uncomfortable)

But as coffee goes, everyone has their own taste, so if you prefer cold milk - you do you. (I have another friend who likes the milk scalding hot, close to boiling - when she's visiting I'll make her coffee like she prefers, even if my mind goess "THIS IS SO WRONG")

I'm a German (currently even on vacation in the US). The political world is so crazy the last years, the authoritarian vs liberal segregation infecting huge parts of the world.

The Harris vs Trump race is one that fills me with hope and fear all the time. (We Germans have some history with right wing failures who get into political offices)

I hope Walz, the new vice president candidate will be an asset to win the US elections. Those have ramifications around the world.

In case Trump wins, even if we can still hope it won't come to an authoratorian regime in the US, the orange old man would be an end to multilateralism, putting the world into a state like it was before WW1.

200er Schleifpapier regelt. Nimmt das "zu viel" weg, lässt aber die Wunde zu.

There's another trick - checking against street maps. When you walk/drive/ride around a corner the phone can use it's inaccurate GPS reading and update it according to where the corner is. Of course it doesn't use ONE corner. to fully update your position, it just nudges the position a bit closer.

In case you are navigating a lot of street corners, after a time an inaccurate GPS position will be corrected.

There's even more input to the algorithm (location of known WIFI Hotspots for example etc) and they are all combined with a "Kalman filter".

I'm not trying to argue against you, I'm just trying to rally people against crappy business tactics.

Thanks for the personal attack, though.

Am unteren Ende der Klowand, dort wo sie zum Durchwischen aufgeständert ist:

Vorsicht vor dem Limbotänzer!

I'm keeping a mumber of my first generation Eneloops around. Around 10% of the ones I bought in the 2010s died, the others are still duing duty in my TV remote control etc.

The ones that died mostly died because of staying in a moving box for around 6 years or so after I divorced and forgot about them.

So I'm amazed how many of them just keep working.

You don't get cookie check boxes because of GDPR. You're getting them because companies want to track you, and need to ask if they do so.

If they don't want to steal your private info they don't need cookie check boxes, even under GDPR.

Additionally, those shitty checkboxes, that take 1000 clicks and 5 minutes if you don't want to get tracked? Illegal under GDPR. Rejected getting tacked needs to be "as easy" as getting tracked by GDPR law.

Companies hating their tracking data business going away like to shit on GDPR - and if it's repeated frequently enough peopme believe it.

(Btw Kosa sounds really dangerous in itself, I'm not advocating for that)
