Pathetic from Great Northern to capitulate so easily. Although I wonder if their capitulation will still trigger the right-wing snowflakes:
Our donation to the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife will now not be used to buy land to add to National Parks. Our donation will instead be used for the preservation of endangered species,” he said.
- Comment on Fucking Optus doesn't provide ipv6 over cell. And starlink has cgnat. 3 hours ago:
What does ipv6 give you that ipv4 does not?
A public, directly routable IP address which doesn’t cost a fortune for the ISPs. In fact, millions of public, directly routable IPs per user such that it’s an embarrassment of riches compared to ipv4.
And it’s even better if all devices and networks support it, since you know longer have to rely on n layers of NAT, reducing latency and complexity.
- Comment on Fucking Optus doesn't provide ipv6 over cell. And starlink has cgnat. 3 hours ago:
There is a business reason for it with the ever shrinking ipv4 space available. Universal ipv6 support is a must, and would properly solve the issue, but gestures at the OP post.
- Comment on Fucking Optus doesn't provide ipv6 over cell. And starlink has cgnat. 3 hours ago:
Optus ipv6 is still next to non-existent from what I recall, even on home NBN networks. Even TPG/Vodafone are starting to roll it out, although it hasn’t reached the MVNOs like Kogan yet.

"browbeaten” male of the far left
This line really stood out to me. Have they met anyone on the left in their lives?
It’s like they have some imaginary idea of what a left-winger looks and acts like in their minds.

If they lower city speed limits to 30 kmph they can have their 130 kmph freeways. The latter still wouldn’t be a good idea but I’ll take the trade.

Better yet, pause the whole thing for good because there is no value to this punitive system.

- Comment on Hundreds complain about failing mobile phone service since 3G switched off 1 week ago:
The reason why enabling 3G would improve coverage is because low radio frequencies do travel further and are less affected by interference.
Both 4G and 5G support low frequencies. The protocols have nothing to do with the frequencies they support, although it can seem that way particularly with 5G, which only used high frequencies when it was initially rolled out.
- Comment on Hundreds complain about failing mobile phone service since 3G switched off 1 week ago:
“I think this whole thing needs to become a political issue — I think people in the bush need to start complaining and we need to get 3G back,” he said.
I understand where they are coming from, but 3G doesn’t inherently have better signal. The carriers may have fucked something up or they haven’t fully switched all of their old towers to 4G and 5G. And to be clear, both 4G and 5G can use the same low frequencies that 3G used, but are more efficient.
That’s not to say the rollout hasn’t been a bit of a mess with bad communication and last minute changes (the whole VoLTE emergency calling shitshow, for example).
- Comment on BOM Indigenous Weather Knowledge - the seasonal calendars of different indigenous communities around Australia 3 weeks ago:
You can use reg.bom.gov.au for the old interface and beta.bom.gov.au for the new interface. But yeah, they should get on with making it the default.
- Comment on What are your Homelab goals for 2025? 3 weeks ago:
Thinking about setting up a NixOS or Guix firewall/router. I like OpenWRT but upgrades are a bit annoying, although should improve with the new packaging system.
The idea of having a single config file I can deploy on new hardware almost immediately is very appealing, however.

It can and will be multiple renewable sources of generation and storage, with nuclear only having a limited role (especially if SMRs don’t become a thing).

There is, although only the client and only v3 support.

Iirc it’s also a prerequisite for full-disk encryption on modern android.
How modern? It’s still working on Evolution X with Android 14 (although maybe it needs custom rom support).
- Comment on JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨ 4 weeks ago:
Tailscale/Wireguard are installed on the KVM itself, not the server you are trying to access. It’s just a Linux machine after all.
- Comment on JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨ 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know if the JetKVM supports it, but PiKVM and BliKVM support adding a multi-port HDMI switch to it (see: docs.pikvm.org/multiport/).
It’s a bit finicky depending on the device you use (some will require custom cables).
- Comment on JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨ 4 weeks ago:
Prices vary but there’s also BliKVM where the V3 version is essentially a clone of the PiKVM (and goes for around 90 USD) and they have their own Allwinner chipset version that I have seen even cheaper than that (although not currently). So not too out of the ordinary.

Worth noting here that KVMs are potentially a quite Hugh security risk.
You can put them behind a VPN and they should be relatively secure. I definitely wouldn’t expose it on the web directly, however.

- Comment on Baseload power generators not needed to guarantee supply, say science and engineering academies 1 month ago:
It’s a bit pointless until grids have a significant surplus of renewable energy and those few countries are rightly turning to batteries first.
Even if electrolysis remains very inefficient, if countries are producing huge surpluses of renewable energy (particularly solar during the day) it might not matter.
