Seems @zorked is correct about some POPs simply lacking IPv6. I simply happened to hit one of those. Quite disappointing but I guess Bunny is on the cheap side and doesn't actually own or manage their network like big CDNs do.

Seemingly lacks IPv6 though? Cloudflare requires you to pay them and make an explicit effort to disable IPv6. Sad to see it not enabled by default on Bunny.

I've found inverter microwaves for example useful when making porridge. A traditional one at 50% power blasting at full for 5 seconds makes it boil over, but on an inverter microwave 50% continuous heats it evenly and consistently such that it doesn't boil over. Sure you may be able to lower the traditional one so it does it even shorter steps but then it takes longer to get done or the result might be rather poor due to the inconsistent heating steps.

I also could never get traditional ones to heat potatoes well. Scalding hot on the outside, cold on the inside. With inverter ones it's simpler: just a lower power setting for longer.

Unless you have an inverter microwave it simply adjusts the % of the time that the magnetron is turned on. So at 50% you will have the magnetron at full blast 700W for 5 seconds and then 5 seconds off (or similar timestemps). On older microwaves you may be able to hear the magnetron cycling between being on and off.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned inverter microwaves. Unlike plain old regular microwaves where power settings just adjust the time that the magnetron is running at full blast the inverter ones can actually change the power of the magnetron. Makes it tons easier to cook food evenly and calmly. Never am I buying again one without.

It's kinda hard to find them though. Most manufacturers hardly list this but Bosch seems to have inverters in most of their mid and higher-end ones. My favourite is the Bosch BFL634GB1. Bosch BFL7221B1 was a huge downgrade due to the shitty touch screen and wheel along with a multi-second boot time.

> My understanding with Mesa is that it has very few dependencies

Some of the shader compilers require LLVM which is a giant dependency to say the least. But with Valve's ACO for RADV I think that could technically be omitted.

The difference probably is that GCC extensions have been stable for decades. Meanwhile Rust experimental features have breaking changes between versions. So a Rust version 6 months from now likely won't be able to compile the kernel we have today, but a GCC version in a decade will still work.

Seemingly lacking IPv6 support?

Not that you'd usually need this if you have IPv6 but might still be useful to bypass firewalls or forward access for IPv4 clients from your newer IPv6-only resources.

I was considering CBOR+CDDL heavily for a project a while so they're a tad intertwined in my head. I very much liked CBOR's capability of being able to define wholly new types and describe them neatly in CDDL. You could even add some basic value constraints (less than, greater equal, etc.). That seemed really powerful and lacking ASN.1 experience it sounds like a very lite JSON-like subset of that.

How do you feel about something like CBOR? In which stage would you say it's stuck in evolution compared to ASN.1 (since you said Protobuf is still TLV)?

I recently wanted to do point-to-point Wi-Fi for transferring some data but apparently support for the ad-hoc IBSS mode wasn't available on my MT7925. Wi-Fi Aware is completely new to me and didn't come up while searching on the topic at all. I can't find anything about using it on Linux now either. Anybody have any references on its support?

There's a single kernel commit referencing Wi-Fi Aware from 2023 [0]. iw supposedly supports a few commands pertaining to it [1].

The explicitly includes Cloudflare as one of the big services they currently used and needed to excise from their life as part of this move. Promoting consolidation from many providers to one while also switching from a generic solution to a vendor locked-in one would probably be a downgrade in their book.

Side note: the site has an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address as its AAAA record. Surprisingly this actually works. Unfortunately there's no way to contact them over email to let them know that it's wrong/useless.

You're on an network with DNS64 and NAT64 as its IPv4 compatibility mechanism probably.
