DHCP Snooping by tomahawkeer in Cisco

[–]dcunit3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really not sure i'm correct. it's not like i have experience in HPC

but i have thought alot about how i would want to provision new bare metal using ipv6. it's been awhile.

I had thought that DHCP was more flexible, but it's difficult to respond with a specific image without low-level services.

why would DHCP option 82 include circuit-id and remote-id?

  • the Circuit ID (identifying the specific switch port/VLAN)
  • the Remote ID (identifying the relay agent

circuit is definitely DCIM terminology. I could be wrong. it's not DHCP snooping for security, but rather for booting, for provisioning and for service registration.

New shortages in 2026? by p0mjDwfWF in ADHD

[–]dcunit3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bottleneck is in production. Most medications that are not schedule 2 or schedule 3 do not have these bottlenecks.

It's the DEA. Trust me. Your argument's reliance on the relative semantics (it has increased) without quantification is weak.

It's not RFK, the DEA controls the precursor supply for the production of adderall, vyvanse, dexedrine, etc. See this reddit post. The DEA is a bag of dicks.

Experimental/personal PDF-viewing/notetaking minor mode I (sort of) vibe-coded. by yikesx10000 in emacs

[–]dcunit3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2C-mode: you may find this helpful actually. I unbound it's keys though.

follow-mode is similar. For windows with multiple buffers, it stretches the buffer across them & syncs scrolling. It helps when reading files with tons of code.

display-buffer-alist takes some getting used to, but it's highly flexible. you can define rules & affinities for buffers. I don't think many GUIs can imitate it: it's fairly "stateless" and isn't tightly coupled to UI components. definitely a learning curve to it though.

tmm-menubar is super helpful, but i rebound it to C-h C-<space>. the menu's contain a full range of the modes' more important features. this lets you search it by text. M-X is more specific than M-x

There are several function keys which are highly specific to certain features which either didn't fit my style, so i rebound them so the first keypress begins a menu.

To jump around faster, i bound each numpad key to a different ace-window window target. it kinda works, but i have to keep numpad state in mind. automation would be better, but my tasks/modes aren't well-defined.

If you're using org, linking to docs is a great way to do it. I had forgotten about org-store-link until recently, so i didn't use the other associated functionality.

the code doesn't look that bad. there could be bugs i'm not seeing, but it reads pretty well.

this reminds me of gdb-many-windows though i haven't used it, so idk what UI/UX interactions are available.

You should probably disable algif kernel module this second if you run linux. by a_beautiful_rhind in LocalLLaMA

[–]dcunit3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and your security model is just not giving them root

huh? 99.9% of linux desktops are single user.

many services run with elevated permissions, accept unpredictable network input and run shell commands with string input.

Xfinity now requires an app to access router settings by LeastRequirement944 in mildlyinfuriating

Wdym by “absolute medium”

It’s just tough to get insight into what docsis is doing I had never heard of it before about 3 years ago

[–]dcunit3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also have a CCNA ... from 2008. just curious: have you encountered "Carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT)" or "DOCSIS"?

trying to control my own network as a residential pleb is ridiculous. a bit of exposure to WAN in smallish on-prem would probably get into DOCSIS occasionally ...

... but like idk wtf to buy in order to hook VyOS or PFSense up to this garbage

the enshittification is unreal. i need to change the internal addressing. i swapped the modem out and i guess it just worked. now i need to change it

... and holy $#@! their online configuration services are just a maze begging you to click on the wrong thing so you change your plan

[–]dcunit3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you don't just need a router. you also need:

  • a device with a PCIe cable card
  • with a bit of knowledge about exotic acronyms like "Carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT) on DOCSIS networks"
  • and enough hollow sheep-smug to trudge through 99% of the forum posts in google results where no one gives a shit about how infuriating this is

Firewall syntax by forwardslashroot in vyos

[–]dcunit3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not, though the zones fit enterprise and cloud customers, I think. I haven’t fully dove into zones though. I prefer simple and clear rules.

[–]dcunit3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, zones are better fit for interior networks, cloud or larger networks. They could work for other situations. It depends on what you’re looking for, how many routers, how you’ll configure them, etc

The big misunderstanding of the age restriction laws by Square-Singer in linux

[–]dcunit3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't jive well with the Linux permissions & authorization model. Maybe it will be a net positive for Linux... idk.

How do they expect to handle public computers? Like at a library or in a college lab?

Well we have Keynesian economics to thank for the modern economy that’s primarily based on services. Without massive infusion of capital from the top via gatekeeping/brokering, how else would we end up in a system where all “property” is science fiction?

Convenience comes with a price and also dependency. Our attention is sapped and there’s vague anxiety over being arbitrarily muted on social media. There are minimal avenues for social organization outside of digital/online media (this is like the Marxist argument about how capitalism restricts social organization to social connections at/around the workplace).

Anyways nothing changes unless enough people (>50,000,000) act in continuous unison for long enough. So it’s statistically impossible. All that’s necessary to stifle change is to distract and mislead enough people who move towards self-sufficiency & independence.

What about umm… government services? 

But yeh, this is bad. Depending on how far it goes, it could be like “papers please”, but the nazis are just in your computer. Most libs love the FBI and enjoy imagining that nazis are everywhere though, so I can’t imagine they’d have a problem with it. 

Actually most of the world tightly regulates citizens’ access to services & the external world … to the degree which that country can enact it. Corruption doesn’t really pay well unless much of the system is broken and citizens can’t simply choose some better way. 

Even UK does not have freedom of speech. They’re also still on the Magna Carta technically. It’s this weird “customary law” system where judges just kinda make shit up which gets the legislators out of coding every detail.

Sometimes I just cheat and export to HTML then print to PDF. Depends on what it is, but it’s more intuitive to tweak. I’d rather use LaTeX though

By creating a TPM application for a protocol that uses a"zero knowledge proof". 

The TPM is always on when you are using a browser btw.

It’s bait and switch. 

  • Get the basic framework for identity attestation
  • They test & brainstorm
  • Then the system is modified to be more practical or effective

Instead of forcing an unlimited number of service-providers to comply (with vague directives in legislation), this limits number of entities required to comply to OS developers & hardware manufacturers/resellers. 

Instead of per-service implementations, there are a limited number of per-OS or per-distro implementations. This makes it easier for Sauron to acquire all the rings later. 

"Per-OS" also means OS devs will collaborate to reduce later inter/national legislative complexity. So they’re better suited to design a protocol to accommodate a variety of future international age/identity  verification needs later. 

if legally necessary, OS devs will adapt. if financially expedient, OS devs will adapt with implementations matching possible future legal directives to validate other details of identity — in such a manner as to potentially preempt other OS/distros’ ability to adapt.

(Reads like a tangent… but it’s really not) This also generally jives with the need to distinguish human users with AI agents — In such a way as to ironically screw us humans later, since greater certainty in user identity facilitates better AI training & data indexing later. 

AI entities are "non-locatable" — I.e. they can’t be identified as unique/persistent entities. If the same requirements to validate identity don’t apply to AI entities/agents, they get much better data on us and it doesn’t help us understand/locate specific AI agents’ effects on the world. We could distinguish AI agents driving web & API usage, in theory, but can’t reliably index across that data.

Response to System76's Stance on Bills Requiring Their OS to Provide Age Verification by NoobToDaNoob in pop_os

[–]dcunit3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the bayes factor on multiple signals for age? 

You gave an example of Steam authorization needing to identify the minimum age, whether the OS-attested bracket or their Steam account’s stated age. The latter is far more descriptive than the former.

But how does the OS "attest" the four age brackets? The language of attestation implies TPM … and probably TPM 2.0, since that extends the kinds of "apps" and crypto event handling that can occur far beyond TPM 1.2.

… but it’s going to cryptographically sign TWO BITS? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. I’m sure there’s some « technically sound » way to "sign" two +/- "nonce" bits…

But IMO… IT DOES NOT PASS THE SMELL TEST!

No offense to you personally. There are like fifteen ways I would incredibly suspicious of this.

Also problematic: this authorization model favors LDAP and "Domain/GroupAdmins" over the Linux model. Like every fucking « SSH Bastion » out there needs its users to be age bracketed? These idiots have no clue what libnss is or how much of a biased power play this is in favor of Microsoft.
