That is patently false. Encrypted email and patient portals are absolutely allowed under regulation.

What you have here is a practice that has probably been in operation since the 80s or before, and they refuse to change their ways.

It’s Twitter

You cannot specify ports in a DNS A or AAAA record. www.example.com cannot resolve to 1.2.3.4:443 and app.domain.com cannot resolve to 1.2.3.4:5555

If the application (be it a game or whatnot) supports it, SRV records can identify a port for a hostname. So, you could have minecraft1.domain.com and an SRV record to specify port 25565, and minecraft2.domain.com SRV 25566.

This means you can have multiple Minecraft servers with the same IP address, but you won’t need to give people the port numbers to remember; the hostname allows the game to look up the port via the SRV record.

This is great for selfhosters because we generally only get one IP (until they rollout IPv6; probably half the reason they don’t)

I’m on FiOS and I just had to turn on IPv6 on my router (it’s disabled by default on older Quantum Gateways). It works and they are assigning /56 blocks, I think it’s DHCPv6 but I haven’t looked in a while.

MAC addresses are link-local device identifiers, used by the switches and routers and WiFi access points that talk directly to the devices in question. Switches and routers maintain a table of which MAC to send a packet to based on the IP address - I.e. which actual port to send the data frames down.

There is DHCP for IPv6, but the IPv6 stack is supposed to be able to detect which subnet it’s router is in and then just pick addresses on its own (it does look for conflicts before committing to an address). This is called SLACC (stateless address auto configuration).

NAT is unnecessary because there are so many addresses, as others have mentioned; but I did want to point out that NAT is not used for security. Just because it obscures your devices does not make them any safer. All IPS routers have a firewall to one degree or another (could be as simple as “no incoming connections”; which is bad and lazy but it happens). Firewalling - examining incoming traffic against a set of rules for allowing or denying - is the correct way to secure any network, IPv4 or IPv6.

Yeah I’ve fallen into this trap before as well. When I shop for a desktop, I tend to go as high-end as I can afford and then sit on the same machine for 7-10 years until it becomes unusable/support begins to wain. That desktop sits under my desk and doesn’t move that whole time, it is in a very controlled environment.

You cannot shop that way for a laptop that will be moved and handled and charged and stowed and scratched and bumped and bent and twisted. Even if you take excellent care of it.

I did, and I found that the US does WORSE shit than Russia sometimes.

Russia ain’t good. Neither is the US. Get your head out of your ass.

Can’t it also dock to a TV or monitor?

I can’t believe Microsoft is doing EEE on malware

I wish instead of complaining to people that they didn’t read the docs or whatever that linux devs would scour the internet for these criticisms (like when specifics are provided) and then develop solutions for them.

Yeah, people are shitting on your product because it’s not obvious. Make it more obvious!

(Thankfully this is starting to happen…)

I own several Analogue products. They’re solid AF.

FPGAs would be considered “hardware emulation” but a lot of people don’t like that term, and think emulation should be a term limited to software.

Like, there aren’t real N64 chips in there. The hardware IS emulating an N64 - it’s just not doing so in a way that’s comparable with software emulation at all.

Passkeys are basically client certs for website logins.

Server stores a public key, encrypts a challenge on login attempt. Client browser uses private key to decrypt challenge (and sign it maybe?) and respond to web server to authenticate.

Hackers can’t get a shared secret (like a password or password hash) by hacking the website’s database becaus the public key is all they store; useless without the private key.

Not foolproof, but much harder to exploit than passwords - which many people re-use across multiple sites.

Wasn’t there multiple password managers that got powned over the years ?

Pretty much only LastPass

That’s weird, it works for me. Is there something you need to click on the mobile site?

Bitwarden just announced a consortium with Apple, Google, 1Password, etc to create a secure import/export format for credentials; spurred by the need for passkeys to be portable between password managers (but also works for passwords/other credential types)

All the major password managers store passkeys now. I have every passkey I’ve been able to make stored in Bitwarden, and they’re accessible on all my devices.

Article is behind the times, and this dude was wrong to “rip out” passkeys as an option.

It’s not illegal for Nintendo to run retroarch.
