I don’t think any of his stuff would seem shocking by today’s standards.

See this example earlier in the thread.

Or you could just… learn to use the modern internet that 60% of internet traffic uses? Not everyone has a dedicated IPv4 anymore, we are in the days of mobile networks and CGNAT. IPv4 exhaustion is here today.

Where are you getting 60%? Google's IPv6 Adoption page has it under 50% still:

Screenshot of Google saying "IPv6 Adoption / We are continuously measuring the availability of IPv6 connectivity among Google users. The graph shows the percentage of users that access Google over IPv6." with a graph climbing from near 0% in 2008 to 45% in September 2024

(while other stats pages from big CDNs show even less)

If you have ::/0 in your AllowedIPs and v6 connections are bypassing your VPN, that is strange.

What does ip route get 2a00:1450:400f:801::200e (an IPv6 address for google) say?

I haven't used wireguard with NetworkManager, but using wg-quick it certainly adds a default v6 route when you have ::/0 in AllowedIPs.

You could edit your configuration to change the wireguard connection's AllowedIPs from 0.0.0.0/0 to 0.0.0.0/0,::/0 so that IPv6 traffic is routed over it. Regardless of if your wireguard endpoint actually supports it, this will at least stop IPv6 traffic from leaking.

The article text doesn't support the headline ("Biden helped end the dockers strike by saying reopening the ports to help Hurricane Helene victims would be patriotic"):

“ With the grace of God, and the goodwill of neighbors, it’s gonna hold,” President Joe Biden told reporters Thursday night after the agreement.

In a statement later, Biden applauded both sides “for acting patriotically to reopen our ports and ensure the availability of critical supplies for Hurricane Helene recovery and rebuilding.”

[...]

Thursday’s deal came after Biden administration officials met with foreign-owned shipping companies before dawn on Zoom, according to a person briefed on the day’s events who asked not to be identified because the talks were private. The White House wanted to increase pressure to settle, emphasizing the responsibility to reopen the ports to help with recovery from Hurricane Helene, the person said.

Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su told them she could get the union to the bargaining table to extend the contract if the carriers made a higher wage offer. Chief of Staff Jeff Zients told the carriers they had to make an offer by the end of the day so a manmade strike wouldn’t worsen a natural disaster, the person said.

By midday the Maritime Alliance members agreed to a large increase, bringing about the agreement, according to the person.

would this text land differently if "public school" were replaced with "school"? 🤔

see it's conciser?

Like… okay… I know this is me in the new brain, I’ll shut down the other one.

the other one: i'm pretty sure you've got it backwards, pal

Copying my comment from another thread about this:

They're going to be "sovereign" over the whole archipelago, but only as long as they don't exercise their sovereignty over the largest island in it which constitutes more than half of its total land area (30 km^2^ of 56.13 km^2^).

From today's Joint statement between the governments of the Republic of Mauritius and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning the Chagos Archipelago, including Diego Garcia:

Today’s political agreement is subject to the finalisation of a treaty and supporting legal instruments, which both sides have committed to complete as quickly as possible. Under the terms of this treaty the United Kingdom will agree that Mauritius is sovereign over the Chagos Archipelago, including Diego Garcia. At the same time, both our countries are committed to the need, and will agree in the treaty, to ensure the long-term, secure and effective operation of the existing base on Diego Garcia which plays a vital role in regional and global security. For an initial period of 99 years, the United Kingdom will be authorised to exercise with respect to Diego Garcia the sovereign rights and authorities of Mauritius required to ensure the continued operation of the base well into the next century.

The treaty will address wrongs of the past and demonstrate the commitment of both parties to support the welfare of Chagossians. Mauritius will now be free to implement a programme of resettlement on the islands of the Chagos Archipelago, other than Diego Garcia, and the UK will capitalise a new trust fund, as well as separately provide other support, for the benefit of Chagossians.

It will also herald a new era of economic, security and environmental partnership between our two nations. To enable this partnership the UK will provide a package of financial support to Mauritius. This will include an indexed annual payment for the duration of the agreement and the establishment of a transformational infrastructure partnership, underpinned by UK grant funding, to deliver strategic projects generating meaningful change for ordinary Mauritians and boosting economic development across the country. More broadly, the UK and Mauritius will cooperate on environmental protection, maritime security, combating illegal fishing, irregular migration and drug and people trafficking within the Chagos Archipelago, with the shared objective of securing and protecting one of the world’s most important marine environments. This will include the establishment of a Mauritian Marine Protected Area.

Nice touch making a new "Marine Protected Area" in the process; the current "Chagos Marine Protected Area" was created entirely to, well... lets let this 2009 US diplomatic cable published by WikiLeaks explain:

1. (C/NF) Summary. HMG would like to establish a "marine park" or "reserve" providing comprehensive environmental protection to the reefs and waters of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), a senior Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) official informed Polcouns on May 12. The official insisted that the establishment of a marine park -- the world's largest -- would in no way impinge on USG use of the BIOT, including Diego Garcia, for military purposes. He agreed that the UK and U.S. should carefully negotiate the details of the marine reserve to assure that U.S. interests were safeguarded and the strategic value of BIOT was upheld. He said that the BIOT's former inhabitants would find it difficult, if not impossible, to pursue their claim for resettlement on the islands if the entire Chagos Archipelago were a marine reserve. End Summary.

I wonder how the "treaty will address wrongs of the past"; somehow I doubt it will involve any mention of the CIA torture site there.

edit: after 20 comments, i'm adding a post description here, since most of the commenters so far appear not to be reading the article:

This is about how surprisingly cheap it is (eg $15,000) to buy a complete production line to be able to manufacture batteries with a layer of nearly-undetectable explosives inside of them, which can be triggered by off-the-shelf devices with only their firmware modified.

screenshot of paragraph from the article saying "The process to build such batteries is well understood and documented. Here is an excerpt from one vendor’s site promising to sell the equipment to build batteries in limited quantities (tens-to-hundreds per batch) for as little as $15,000:" followed by a screenshot of "Flow-chart of Pouch Cell Lab-scale Fabrication" showing a 20 step process

here is the talk description, from its page on the schedule for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + Open Source Summit China 2024 (which Linux Foundation somehow neglected to put in their youtube upload's description):

In Febuary the Linux kernel community took charge of issuing CVEs for any found vulnerability in their codebase. By doing this, they took away the ability for any random company to assign CVEs in order to make their engineering processes run smoother, and instead have set up a structure for everyone to participate equally.

This talk will go into how the Linux CVE team works, how CVEs are assigned, and how you can properly handle the huge number of new CVEs happening in a simple and secure way.

今年二月,Linux内核社区开始负责为其代码库中发现的任何漏洞发布CVE编号。通过这样做,他们剥夺了任何随机公司分配 CVE 的能力,以便使他们的工程流程更顺畅,取而代之的是建立了一个人人平等参与的结构。

本次演讲将介绍 Linux CVE 团队的工作方式,CVE 的分配过程,以及如何以简单且安全的方式妥善处理大量新出现的 CVE。

Here is a PDF of the slides from Greg's git repo for this talk.
