@wolf480pl In fact I did this for like a month just for fun.

The only things that didn't like it were a few sites which claimed to do v6 (returned AAAA records) but didn't actually respond over v6. As well as game consoles, because those things are just assholes.

The Switch 2 actually will not function on a v6-only network, despite happily claiming it does IPv6. The Switch 1 didn't do v6, but it also didn't pretend to. You'd think the Switch 2 supports v6 so because it says it supports IPv6 and it will grab a v6 address if a typical dual-stack home network supports it when you look in the settings, but it's all symbolic, it will never actually use v6.

The system requires DHCPv4 or a static IPv4, then it does IPv6 after. The programming logic is:
if dhcpv4.result == "Success":
slaac

If you spoof it by setting a fake IPv4 that doesn't work, you're still fucked. it only accepts IPv4 addresses in the DNS server field.

So okay, I put a DNS server on that same fake subnet just to respond with AAAA records, still nothing, the Switch 2 will never output any v6 network packet. While the Switch 2 /can/ have a v6 address, the entire network stack is a lie:
- You can only add a v6 address if you already have a v4 address
- It will only accept v4 DNS servers
- It doesn't seem to ever actually do any AAAA DNS record lookups.
- If v4 isn't routing, but v6 works perfectly, everything breaks. No eshop, no online gaming, no update checks, no nothing.
- No matter what I tried, wireshark showed that the Switch 2 would never output a single packet with a v6 src or dst address after initial address setup, not even once.

It's actually impressive, I've never seen a product "implement" v6 to the point where it will grab an address and display it in the system settings right next to the v4 address, yet the entire v6 network stack is a lie.

"So you know Murphy's Law? That anything that can go wrong will?"

'Yeah'

"Well, do you know Cole's Law?"

'No, what's that'

alright pretty much everyone figured out how it works instantly, and it's been like 40 minutes without mastodon announcing their security release on their fedi profiles despite having the release published on github. heres a post

in 2034 some nerd is going to figure it out and make a youtube video titled "Sony already cured cancer 45 years ago, but for some reason nobody bought the cure!"

unfortunately sony already merged the departments responsible into each other 15 times and have no clue where the design documents ended up, while most former employees are now stuck in retirement homes with dementia. so it's up to a crack team of internet weirdos to hunt down any remaining sony employee who might know how the cancer cure was made.

eventually they find a single japanese guy who retired and decided to start a ramen shop in hokkaido, who casually goes "haha yes, i remember when we cured cancer, good times, the bubble economy sure was wild huh. but now my passion lies in making the perfect tonkatsu ramen"

This case focuses on Apple's obligations under Article 6(7) of the #DMA. Specifically how Apple must open up software & hardware interoperability on its smartphones and tablets.

The EU Court explicitly recognised this case will likely have "a significant impact on the supply of #FreeSoftware." 💡

this code uses a datatype with the questionable name of "tribool", but when I looked into it to make fun of it I discovered something terrible:

It's an enum with 4 possible values. It's a goddamn quadbool

GST::FAddRgch ahh yes, methods written by people who were scared of vowels and thought the solution was Hungarian notation

I keep seeing a lot of advice for writers saying "don't use this, don't use that" because it will show up as AI written.

I hate it. It makes me worried. A lot of the "AI" traits in writing overlap with storytelling language. Spoken language.

When I write, as a storyteller, I use em dash when I would take a breath or a pause on stage, instead of finishing a thought. I use triple adjectives because in spoken word they add to the rhythm.
