Hah! Joke’s on you. I accidentally restarted my PC and updated it without wanting to.
Yeah? Well I was playing a game and it rebooted in the middle of a boss fight!
I was mid-proposal. She said, “Yes, as long as this call doesn’t e…” Thanks a lot, Microsoft!
i was using it to control the robot arms to operate my patient. at least its secure now!
Tell me you didnt take a look at your windows update settings without saying so.
Mine restarted while I was watching a movie.
Thanks Windows.
Linux time?
Linux always
A working clock is always right!
😏🐧
Just say you run Arch and move on.
I run Arch and move on.
Lies, you never move!
Mobility scooter. Duh.
I ran Arch and moved on
I fought the law and the law won.
Now THAT’S a story I can FEEL. Thank you.
Well, it’s not like you lost a pen, now, is it?
Edit: for anyone who is lost here, enjoy
Is it a Pilot G-2? 0.7mm?
I disabled ipv6 long ago and never moved. Not even blinked.
People always talk about Arch. I wonder what people think of other oses and the people who run them lol. Like I’m a bearded Debian user (closer to the look of the Dilbert comic unix guy).
I just like my build working. What’s wrong with that?
So it took a little while before I could run stable diffusion, I can now!
You run Arch and move on.
(Am I doing this right?)
🐧🌿 (♏)
Just say you run Arch and move on.
You run Arch and move on.
I thought he was saying he’s sexually attracted to punguins…
I run Arch and since then moved on.
Still waiting for a distro named “Arch btw”
Cachy me outside. I’ll run arch over you.

I like Linux, but it can have security issues just as well.
Sure can. Just more eyeballs on it and 3rd party eyeballs.
Not every exploit is discovered minutes to hours after a git push. Some go unnoticed for years.
If Linux is so great, then explain why I can’t even install this latest security patch for Windows on my Tumbleweed??
You need to sudo zypper install win_patch
Great, it worked!
But now I have ads on my desktop, tiler, and all the menues feature ‘sponsored’ content instead of my shit.That’s a feature!
spoiler
An anti-feature, thanks proprietary software!
Is this for Windows 11?
My windows XP laptop is good right?
Our windows XP laptop
Can’t tell if you’re russian, or room mates.
Just anyone with a windows xp machine really
Why would you make it accessible to the world?
In this case? Research, but you are correct in that it’s incredibly unlikely that someone today has their computer directly connected to the internet without a router or something preventing any incoming connection
People rely on IPv4 NAT to be a “firewall” and it drives me nuts
Could also be a joke on how there was a single XP serial number used by nearly everyone that got it from, uhh, non-official sources. FCKGW FTW.
They own the botnet.
What about Windows 3.1!?
Does 3.1 even go online?
Winsock baby.
modem noises
3.11 goes online
With workgroups.
With or without, it’s a personal choice
Fuckin DOS could go online.
IPv6 huh? There are dozens of us!
Yay, new Xbox jailbreak method, can’t wait for new modded warfare videos about it
Serious question - I haven’t touched my Xbox one for about 4 years , it wasn’t powered and wasn’t connected to the internet - I would love to jailbreak it and run Linux on it. Can it be done?
About Linux, it’s not yet feasible, probably soon, right now Xbox one/series jailbreak scene is only making first steps with dumping of games and launching roms and emulators without dev mode
I updated Windows so hard Linux popped out.
And it’s Arch, by the way.
It sure is 😜
Sick my isp doesn’t even support ipv6
Be the change you want to see in the world, send an email asking for IPv6.
I did that years ago, and they said basically “never”. Then a couple years later all of a sudden, there it was.
To note: It shows even Windows Server 2008 as affected. Since MS is only testing against OSses they support, it is possible this has existed as a problem all the way back since IPv6 was first introduced to Windows XP.
Also, for all of you “disable IPv6 because I don’t understand it” people… unless you are running Windows 8 or older, just update Windows. IPv4 has been out of addresses for so long that CGNAT is a thing, which means connectivity problems when you’re hosting stuff, and more latency and packet drops from ISP routers getting saturated with NAT tasks. IPv6 is alive on the internet since 2011 and very much used on the internet, does not tie up routers by requiring NAT translation, and therefore just performs better. Plus, if you use your network printer’s or network device’s link-local ipv6 to connect locally, you will never have to deal with static ip address or changing ipv4 lan address pain, as link-local (non-routable on the internet) addresses don’t change unless you force it.
Also don’t use $35 routers for your internet. If your router does not support ipv6 firewalling, it is long since time to fix that with one that does.
just update Windows
I’m still on 22h2 lol
Every version of 10 going back to 15.07 original release is affected.

This would presumably mainly be an issue for computers open to the internet. So not so much for home PCs, unless the router’s firewall is opened up.
I’ve not read the CVE but assuming it works on any IPv6 address including the privacy extensions addresses, it’s a problem. Depending on what most routers do in terms of IPv6 firewalling.
My opinion is, IPv6 firewalls should, by default, offer similar levels of security to NAT. That is, no unsolicited incoming connections but allow outgoing ones freely.
In my experience, it’s a bit hit-and-miss whether they do or not.
Now, if this works on privacy extension addresses, it’s a problem because the IPv6 address could be harvested from outgoing connections and then attacked. If not, then scanning the IPv6 space is extremely hard and by default addresses are assigned randomly inside the /64 most people have assigned by their ISP means that the address space just within your own LAN is huge to scan.
If it doesn’t work on privacy extension IPs, I would say the risk is very low, since the main IPv6 address is generally not exposed and would be very hard to find by chance.
Here’s the big caveat, though. If these packets can be crafted as part of a response to an active outgoing TCP circuit/session. Then all bets are off. Because a popular web server could be hacked, adjusted to insert these packets on existing circuits/sessions in the normal response from the web server. Meaning, this could be exploited simply by visiting a website.
IPv6 firewalls should, by default, offer similar levels of security to NAT
I think you’re probably right. We had decades of security experts saying that NAT is not a firewall and everyone on the planet treated it like one anyway. Now we’re overexposed for a no-NAT IPV6 internet.
What about torrenting through a VPN with IPv6? Would that make you vulnerable to this exploit?
I think it depends on all the caveats I mentioned. If it could have worked with an outgoing connection, then someone with a bad client could execute it for sure. The VPN wouldn’t protect you.
Harvesting IP addresses shouldn’t be a problem, since the firewall shouldn’t allow packets from a peer you haven’t talked to first. But true, if you can be attacked in response by a server you’re connecting to that would be bad.
For a professional sysadmin’s home network? Maybe. For the average Joe who probably has their 12-year-old toaster still connected to their wifi? I wouldn’t bank on it.
Lmao good thing we’re all on ipv4
I just updated and now my audio sounds like shit.
That’s pretty odd. Did you try turning it off and on again?
One restart post-update restarts changed it and helped, but something was still off. Took me like 30 minutes but it looks like my nvidia HDMI audio output got reset to a really low 16 bit sample rate. Got that set back to a decent 24 bit and its closer, but something is still off. I don’t think I had any settings/levels/enchanments.
Sounds like windows changed your audio driver. I’d download the most recent audio driver available through nvidia, then uninstall your current audio driver in device manager and manually install nvidias.
16 bit audio is normal like 320kbps mp3 and not low bitrate
I tried to roll out ipv6 when I was sysadmin for a small ISP. ARIN gave me a /32 block with no fuss. I started handing them out only to discover most routers at the time couldn’t use them. Not much has changed. No one offers them and I just turned it off at my present job. None of my windows machine have the ipv6 stack enabled.
My LAN has ipv6 disabled. So there.

Dude 10-Base2 won, get over it!
Nah, bus with terminators is better.
Amateurs, not using null modem db9 serial
I’m not running my computer with an IPv6 address. Only my modem has an IPv6 address. Does that mean I’m not affected?
I’ll make sure to updats either way though.
