I mean I updated my servers and some of them on LTS releases that were not the very latest one were still vulnerable after a reboot. Hence I disabled the module on those servers. So it’s worth checking your version definitely has a fix available.

Just to note, if you are on an LTS version (which many people running servers will be), it’s likely an upgrade will not solve this. In which case you should check your installed version and if not yet corrected, disable that module. For most people it is not used anyway.

Enjoy it while you can. The age of enshittification will be upon us. With fully locked bootloaders and the only way to install true FOSS mobile OS is to pay 3x the price for half the capabilities of a normal Android phone.

Well it’s not a scam. It works exactly as advertised. But, just like in casinos, the house is always the winner.

I made a multi-threaded UK lottery simulator that draws 68 million lotteries per second on my machine. It shows the ROI on average is around 30% meaning the “house” (lottery company/government/charities) gets 70%. Here’s the last line after 5.1billion draws:

Draws: 5,130,046,351. 3: 56,022,165, 4: 2,521,545, 5: 38,525 5+b 5,918 Jackpots: 113. Losses: 2,491,081,393. Cost £10,260,092,702, Winnings £3,058,100,000 ROI: 29.810%. 68,548,225.400 draws/s

Yes that means you will wait on average 45.4 million draws before you hit the jackpot.

In any case. You could implement the meme like the lottery and make money and I assure you, if you made the full info public people WOULD send you money and you’d keep the 70%…

Trinitycore has a guide https://trinitycore.info/ if you follow it properly it will result in a working server. Any time I’ve seen someone have a problem following it, they either missed a step by mistake, or tried to go off on a tangent, configuring it for their own needs during install/setup.

First make it work with the instructions, and once it is working, then tinker with it :P

It’s more likely trinitycore (which forked from mangos quite some time ago). https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/

Mangos do still have a Wrath server branch. But specifically for 3.3.5 trinitycore is more often used.

No, he used a Delorean because of the style, and something about the stainless steel construction that we’ll never know the rest of. :P

Well, it depends. I mean the original story “The Time machine” I think very deliberately had a machine that was on the ground. I guess if you’re “travelling” through time then you could follow your local location in the same way you do when it is moving forward at the normal rate.

The argument is more true for time machines that instantly move through time, like back to the future. Since yes it would need some way to account for planetary movement.

Wireguard vpn into my home router. Works on android so fire sticks etc can run the client.

They’re deporting themselves now too? That’s efficient.

Should it, or should it be “1”? (just removing one, one)

Yeah but if you tick TCP and pay the extra postage you can get proof of receipt.

Actually how is your ISP giving out IPs to you? Mine uses IPv6 PD to give me a /48. And I then use SLAAC locally on the first /64 prefix on my LAN. Plus another /64 for VPN connections.

If you mean receiving RA/ND packets from your ISP (which are used to announce IPv6 prefixes) then you need to allow icmpv6 packets (if you don’t want to be able to be pinged, just block echo requests, ICMP in v4 and v6 carry important messages otherwise).

If your ISP uses DHCPv6 Prefix delegation you will need to allow packets to UDP port 546 and run a DHCPv6 client capable of handling PD messages.

If you have a fixed prefix, then you probably don’t need to use your ISPs SLAAC at all. You could just put your router on a fixed IP as <yourprefix>::1 and then have your router create RA/ND packets (radvd package in linux, not sure what it would be on pfsense) and assign IPs within your network that way.

If you have a dynamic prefix… It’s a problem I guess. But probably someone has done it and a google search will turn up how they handled it.

EDIT: Just clarified that the RA/ND packets advertise prefixes, not assign addresses.

I believe the privacy concerns are made moot if all consumer level routers by default blocked incoming untracked connections and you need to poke holes in the firewall for the ports you need.

Having said that, even knowing the prefix it’s a huge address space to port scan through. So it’s pretty secure too with privacy extensions enabled.

But for sure the onus is on the router makers for now.

I used HE for ages until my isp gave native ipv6. I also used sixxs back then too. Both provided good connectivity for the few sites that were around using it at the time.

This is my biggest bugbear about a lot of UK isps. They are dynamically allocating ipv6 prefixes for absolutely no good reason.

I’ve only ever done ipv6 using Linux directly as a firewall or a mikrotik router. So cannot help with pfsense I’m afraid.

You start by adding ipv6 and serving both. One side needs to move first. Content providers or isps.

The big tech companies are using ipv6. In the UK the isps are mostly offering it too.

Host both and help us move towards dropping Ipv4 some day. It’s not going to happen in a day.

Don’t be so sure. Piers Morgan will do whatever he thinks makes “good television” and especially good sound-bites that can have his ugly mug displayed ad-nauseam.

He saw a weakness and exploited it. I doubt he’s “chosen a side” at all.

Whenever anyone asks if I use AI. My answer is that, so far it hasn’t ever delivered working code. However the majority of times I used it, the code it did provide sent me in the right direction.

So it’s not useless. And I know tools have gotten better. But when I see companies seriously talking “AI first” and wanting vibe coding to be a main development strategy. I do really worry.

The big websites are operating on ipv6. If you want to run your own website it’s actually trivial to host it on both ipv4/ipv6 now and most good hosting providers will give you a /64 allocation.

In the UK broadband providers also are quite commonly providing IPv6 as standard (albeit the scummy ones dynamically assign a prefix, for absolutely zero reason aside from annoyance). My provider uses PD to assign a /48 even.

So, really not sure why it’s so slow going elsewhere. There’s really no reason for it now in 2025.
