Did you manage to get IPv6 prefix delegation working with dynamic prefixes? Best solution I found involves scripting to re-build config files and restart a daemon, where OpenWRT just does it out of the box.

Curious: how did you set up firewall (nftables?), IPv6 delegation both ULA and public prefix? Happy to read if you have a write-up somewhere.

Outside of Tokyo you can still easily get one of the other regional IC cards [1]. They can now all be used everywhere in Japan including the Tokyo subway, provided you don't start travel in one region and end it in another. [1] https:

At my electronics engineering school we had access to everything we needed to mass-produce those decoders and did so at a reasonable scale to pay for our studies. That was a lifeline. Knowledge of TV signals gave me my first job, during whi

If I understood correctly, the link between ULA-based address and host name is done through a DUID. This is assuming that DUID values do not change over time and can easily be harvested from everything you want to connect to the local netwo

Genuinely curious: how do you maintain a local DNS to make sure you can always designate 'printer' and 'intranet' by name?

"with AES-NI the system should be easily able to push the full 1 Gbps of traffic through Wireguard" You were probably thinking of OpenVPN? Wireguard is not based on AES and thus has no use for AES-NI.

Having a generic "Send to" would only solve a part of it though. There is currently no standard way of connecting the two ends of the same cable to two computers and expect them to exchange files without heavy configuration on bot

They even have a decimal clock dated from the French revolution: 10 hours per day, 100 minutes per hour, 100 seconds per minute. Total of 100k seconds/day, making seconds a bit shorter. Was largely ignored, only lasted a few years. The

Ah but sockets are only an illusion that fall apart under the next tunnel. Mobiles are not constantly connected, they use a wireless packet-based network. The only way your mobile is registered as part of a network is because it is the one

True enough, this is in concept the very same as Apple Push Notification (APN) service. Difference is that you are in charge of the server side and handle all the security and uptime yourself. Very cool idea, simple enough to generate a lot

And yet, this is exactly how push notifications are implemented on mobile phones. You have the illusion to push a message from server to device while in fact you also push a message onto a queue that is polled at regular intervals by the mo

Good point: Mbed OS is only for ARM-based processors. The main difference lies in the vast number of drivers it offers, which is the reason why you already have 100+ supported boards today. In comparison, FreeRTOS would run on any MPU but w

Good translation. You are right about intonation of 'normal' in French, though spoken French is always stressing the last (pronounced) vowel of every word by default.

There is still one issue left with Yubikeys: backups. When I loose my Yubikey after I cautiously registered it with a hundred different sites and servers, I would like to restore its secrets onto a brand new (blank) Yubikey and go forward.

Second this. All these fancy services are neat but hosting private data in the US is seen in Europe as a major security risk, when it's not a complete no-no. Would be cool to know about self-hosted options.
