> heavy usage from a small number of IPv4s

Basically, all crawlers.

If be curious to see what the IPv4/IPv6 breakdown looks like when looking at HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 connections only, which should exclude the vast majority of crawlers.

Here is my article that I wrote when I wanted to learn more about IPv6: https://ssg.dev/ipv6-for-the-remotely-interested-af214dd06aa...

EDIT: After reading Tailscale's article, I noticed that I overlooked our neverending dependence to NAT despite that IPv6 seems to eliminate it.

Berkeley Mono, Iosevka, and Cascadia Code are missing which are my favorite fonts. The game handed me Roboto Mono instead.

What I noticed while playing was that when fonts are similar, I really pay attention to the rendering of "m" and "r". When they look off, the whole font looks off to me.

Berkeley Mono was the first time I bought a font.

It's so good. Perfect even. And they have a really neat customization tool.

I've been using it for a few years now and they actually still occasionally release a new version of it. Haven't gotten tired of it yet.

The only complaint I have about it is that I had to do a hacky workaround to get my Nix setups to pull it in since it's proprietary.

I even forked their "Machine Report" tool (which presumes Debian) to make it work on Linux/NixOS by applying a "polyfill": https://github.com/pmarreck/usgc-machine-report-nixos-editio...

Berkeley + iosevka = https://github.com/ahatem/IoskeleyMono

ohh thanks for sharing, I'll check that out.

It's really funny that after going through all those fonts it landed on Ubuntu Mono for me which is what I use anyways to code in my terminal.

I wonder if it's Stockholm syndrome or if I really do prefer it. It's a totally fine font, I've never felt the need to change it. All the default open source mono fonts seem completely adequate I suppose.

I have an individual GitHub Copilot Pro subscription and also am a member of an Enterprise account that has one of its GitHub Copilot Business seats assigned to me. The opt-out setting doesn't appear on my individual profile anymore. However, I want to be able to use individual GitHub Copilot subscription for my individual work, and it seems like I can't do it anymore as Enterprise has taken over all my preferences. What a mess.

Is 4Chan still accessible from the US states with age verification laws?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media_age_verification_...

I am in a state with age verification nonsense and I can access if I process Cloudflares javascript.

In Tennessee, 4chan is accessible without verification (but does block many porn aggregators, e.g. pornhub, redgifs).

Yes. Opens just fine from in NYC and SF.

> the fact that you cannot get a valid bzip2 file by cat-ing 2 compressed files

TIL. Now that's why gzip has a file header! But, tar.gz compresses even better, that's probably why it hasn't caught on.

tar packs multiple files into one. If you concatenate two gzipped files and unzip them, you just get a concatenated file.

Ah okay, I thought gzip would support decompressing multiple files that way.

How it works is, if you have two files foo.gz and bar.gz, and cat foo.gz bar.gz > foobar.gz, then foobar.gz is a valid gzip file and uncompresses to a single file with the contents of foo and bar.

It’s handy because it is very easy to just append stuff at the end of a compressed file without having to uncompress-append-recompress. It is a bit niche but I have a couple of use cases where it makes everything simpler.

tar supports that types of concatenation, so you can concatenate tar.gz files, and unpack them all into separate files

I know, but I've been always confused why a gzip file would have a filename field in its header if it's supposed to contain only one file. Obviously it's good to keep a backup of original filename somewhere, but it's confusing nonetheless.

My story is similar. I loved playing video games and all, but after I wrote my first program, I became obsessed with computers. The infinite canvas for interactive human experience and problem solving felt out of this world.

Thanks!

Yes, good article showing your experience.

Also it's good for people to realize that all of the built-in scheduled Windows tasks are itemized down the folders in this console, and some can be individually disabled if you are careful.

For people that are tweaking Windows, if you're not looking into Task Scheduler it might help.

I haven’t experienced that yet, but that’s a good point. Perhaps I need to keep a script of Unregister-ScheduledTask calls like a replayable delete log.
