In my view, the problem largely comes from the way the Internet has grown. Many of these concepts developed together with the Internet, and IPv4 was the protocol that evolved with them.
I see many ISPs deploying IPv6 but still following the same design principles they used for IPv4. In reality, IPv6 should be treated as a new protocol with different capabilities and assumptions.
For example, dynamic IP addresses are common with IPv4, but with IPv6 every user should ideally receive a stable /64 prefix, with the ability to request additional prefixes through prefix delegation (PD) if needed.
Another example is bring-your-own IP space. This is practically impossible for normal users with IPv4, but IPv6 makes it much more feasible. However, almost no ISPs offer this. It would be great if ISPs allowed technically inclined users to announce their own address space and move it with them when switching providers.
You're correct, but the issue is that static IPv6 isn’t even available as an option—at least in my experience with two ISPs in my country. It may be different in other places.
It's also a privacy issue, in fact it's mandatory in some European countries because otherwise you'd be easily tracked by your address, but it's also mandated you can get a static one if you ask.
But not that much, unfortunately. Those same "cYbeRseCUrITy" orgs also ingest SSL transparency logs, resolve A and AAAA for all the names in the cert, then turn around and start scanning those addresses.
In my experience, it only takes a few hours from getting an SSL certificate to junk traffic to start rolling in, even for IPv6-only servers.
Small percentage of that could be attributed directly, based on "BitSightBot", "CMS-Checker", "Netcraft Web Server Survey", "Cortex-Xpans" and similar keywords in user-agent and referer headers. And purely based on timing, there's a lot more of that stuff where scanners try and blend in.
I agree, it's definitely attempting to gaslight us all.
I find I need to explain I know what I'm talking about first before it gives me non-patronising answers.
It definitely advertises Google services and I would say I hate it. But it's just reliably available. Neither Claude nor ChatGPT are responding at all today.
Its less funneled although most straight lines will approach the southern tip of India. Singapore is one of 2 possible ways through Indonesia and its the shorter one.
1. Write a generic prompts about the project and software versions and keep it in the folder. (I think this getting pushed as SKIILS.md now)
2. In the prompt add instructions to add comments on changes, since our main job is to validate and fix any issues, it makes it easier.
3. Find the best model for the specific workflow. For example, these days I find that Gemini Pro is good for HTML UI stuff, while Claude Sonnet is good for python code. (This is why subagents are getting popluar)
