To be clear, the rest of the OS supports IPv6, just the WireGuard VPN doesn’t. Disappointing all the same.

The only downside is this doesn’t work if you have IPv6 enabled as UniFi Network still allows those to bypass the VPN.

I ended up making a long list of firewall rules to block specific sites IPv6 ranges, which worked until I hit cloudflare backed sites.

I’m really hoping UniFi start supporting IPv6 WireGuard soon.

I was literally looking for a solution for this over the weekend and ended up with a very quirky setup for my Kubernetes Operator.

Now I can rip all that out and use this! Bravo!

I currently use Wipr on macOS and iOS. I’ll give this a spin, however, what are the biggest downsides of the MV3 variant over the original MV2?

New comment by cpressland in "Commodore OS 3.0 Released"

I am a huge fan of the Commodore 64 and have built my own using modern replacement components and new-old stock with help from other retro computer fans in the office.

But the Commodore 64x and Commodore OS don’t mirror the spirit of 8bit micros. Hardware hacking, direct access to the CPU etc. The Commander X16 is probably the only true “modern” hackable computer in my opinion.

I just hope future generations can experience the power of completely open hardware and as a species we don’t “forget” how computers actually work.

This is correct - but I’d rather my law enforcement had a pre-existing reason to investigate me rather than just stumbling upon something in random hidden searches. Innocent until proven guilty is key here.

I have nothing to hide, but I’m still not giving you access to my photo library.

Any sources? I’d be keen to see if I can help out, even if only financially.

I have seen this in the past, but I figured it was mostly abandonware given the lack of recent commits. I’ll install it and check it out though, thanks for the suggestion.

I’d love a project like this, but for Red Alert 2. It works great on my Steam Deck but often stutters on larger battles. A modern, native, Linux port would be amazing.

While I couldn’t find a better document: https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/search-engines/google-is... describes how non-Google search engines cannot get new results from Reddit.

This is amazing - I’ve not had a chance to test this yet but if it works as described then this is something I’ve been needing without realising it.

Hopefully you’ll be able to get this on the Mac App Store at some point, I’d gladly pay for this.

Edit: alternatively Homebrew / Nix.

At least it’s still lower on average than renewables at the moment [1]. I’m not sure what the current state of Nuclear Reactor construction is like, but hopefully we get some come online soon.

As somebody with very little understanding of the business world: why would a seemingly successful organisation like this become a public company? What benefits are there?

This is great! But I’m not keen that the site isn’t using HTTPS by default, nor the links in the verification emails.

I’m pretty sure Linux is natively supported via N64Recomp: https://github.com/Mr-Wiseguy/N64Recomp

Had the same issue, plus I think one of my Safari extensions was hiding a cookie banner so half the page was just “dark”. A more mobile friendly view is absolutely needed.

This looks really good. I hope ultimately this replaces the “Azure Cache for Redis” resource. It’s slow, it’s a fork of Redis made to run on Windows, and it takes nearly an hour to create an instance of it.

No, he’s right. Sixteen singular addresses. And those a quite expensive for what they are.
