Easier said than done.

If you have to support the sort of user that barely managed to download a copy of putty a few years ago and kept using this, then walking them through key generation and use is a nightmare.

One could fairly argue that maybe such people shouldn't have access to a system, but it is a reality.

Of course the likelihood that a system using musl is something that class of user would be accessing is lower.

Maybe now that ssh is generally "just there" for Windows users, you can more easily work with them to generate a key, or give them a zip file to make them have a key in a standard way. But the interaction of ssh and windows file security can be... Interesting, though mostly an issue on the ash server side.

Yeah, any application checking passwords would be vulnerable.

While that can be how style could be mismatched, in this case it's generally for that AI slop feel. For example, I doubt you would have retraced the same thing from the same angle but subtly different for a new frame instead of just copying and scaling it.

And of course all the other stuff with it.

I do think that's broadly an issue, and unfortunate when a condition catches "cool" factor and suddenly a bunch of people want to be that. Feel like the trend started with" Asperger's" in the 90s when a certain group of people liked the concept of "Autistic, but not bad, it just means an asshole who is smart". Over time we now have ASD, ADHD, and DID as conditions that are actively desired among certain subcultures. Which really can muddy the waters when it comes to mental health diagnosis.

It's just a 'proper' IPv6 private address, the IPv6 equivalent of '10.'.

I say proper as a private address in ipv6 is supposed to be fd, then 40 random bits, then whatever you want. Nothing stops you from having fd::/64 as your private network though. The thinking was people who got tired of merging networks that happened to choose the same 10.x.x.x scheme and/or vpn connecting to multiple sites similarly with the same private address. So they thought it would be swell if every private network on earth would likely be unique, so they said you 'must' randomize 5 bytes of it. Then no renumbering/no conflicting vpn connections.

And he is not going to run he says

I suspect there's some skepticism recently because a sort of Internet subculture developed around it being "cool" and some folks are adopting it as an affectation, and further prizing a diagnosis as real cred. So some people are shopping mental health professionals in pursuit of a diagnosis for that subculture.

I hope you built it inside that exact case with sticker intact to fulfill the promise of the sticker.

But why can't I use IPX in my routing table for IPv4????

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

I have had to deal with a lot of companies where they did the opposite, acted like 192 was a /8 and did stuff way out of the private range.

The real nightmare when someone puts two ip addresses on the same host through different interfaces. Now that makes for some confusing troubleshooting and explanations in various applications.

What really gets me is in about 3/4 networks in the last couple of weeks I've been asked to help troubleshoot, the problem has been duplicate IP addresses. I don't know what is going on with people...

It can be made to work, just really really stupid.

Ultimately the 'gateway' is really a mac address, and the IP is just the thing to ARP to get the mac address. And you can do some gnarly things to pull off things like off-subnet gateway addresses.

You should never ever do it, but you can if you hate yourself enough.

Becomes easier in IPv6 to do these shenigans too.
