This seems to be the open-access link but in searching for that I saw another article from the authors about the small intestine metabolizing fructose into glucose.

So it's probably more complex than we thought. Another 5-6-fructase pathway, I'd guess, haven't read it yet.

It was an unusual campaign in that 95% of campaign promises weren't not just unfulfilled but 180* opposite of policy. Ultimate con man.

But now that Philippines is nearly out of oil China has made overtures to take care of their oil needs which have been defacto accepted.

The quid pro quo isn't stated yet but US caused their oil crisis so this announcement isn't real.

What an odd thing to say.

I rip my DVD and Bluray discs to a NAS and play them with Jellyfin. There's not even an optical player near a TV anymore. The last one died in about 2008.

But I have put some of those files on USB before for the kids.

Used Blurays are about $5 usually and much better quality than any streaming service rental.

The Onn is an excellent device for the money and most questionable aspects can be disabled or piholed. Jellyfin and SmartTube and Projectivy are all fine.

I should go see if LineageOS has added any new low-power devices in the past year. That's the best option but nothing supported was for sale when I last looked.

Exactly.

Somebody said they spent a lot of time and money coming up with a new "nonbinary" mascot.

I started using Firefox over 20 years ago and never had any idea whether the fox was male or female. Since thunderbirds are fictional I'm not sure about the sexual dimorphism of their plumage.

It's hard to understand how they think these days. At least Ladybird will offer a second rendering engine when the bubble pops. Engineering-focused software organizations used to be the norm.

I guess a Ladybird is a female, not that it matters at all. The AI should have Majel Barret's voice anyway.

Posting since it was only in the footnotes.

15W might be good for use cases where n1x0 are a bit slow.

I'd consider a mini pc with one of these for kiosk-type applications. I have an n100 platform that gets maxed out with about 8 4K streams running. Would be nice to bump those up to 12 streams without much more power.

The iGPU code for ffmpeg is pretty good.

Hopefully these move beyond laptops later in the year.

To me the hoops that smoothbrains will jump through to avoid IPv6 and stay on legacy IPv4, especially when hosting, is pathetic. NAT, port forwarding, tunnels, blah blah blah blah.

I have something like ~1.2 trillion times the number of routable addresses that the entire IPv4 space has. Not all are reachable, of course, just the services that need incoming access and they're each on their own isolated DMZ.

Forgot to add: if you enable IPv6, be sure to use the browser extension IPvFoo. It shows a small 4 or 6 in your URI bar to let you know what protocol you're connecting to. Once enabled, you'll see just how much stuff out there actually is IPv6.

Started the move about 18 months ago when I decided to get off my lazy ass. My ISP gives out a /56 prefix, so that lets me run 256 /64 subnets/VLANs in the house, currently there are ~10 in use. Everything get a GUA through SLAAC and I use RAs (Router Advertisements) to give ULAs to everything. Any external facing services get their own VLAN and /64 for the system(s) as needed. Firewall blocks all incoming as they usually do by default and I punch a hole for the external-facing systems. They can't reach back into the network, they only answer the phone. All the systems update DNS dynamically if the prefix or full address ever change.

I have an SSH bastion set up. In all this time there has not been a single SSH attempt from the internet. On IPv4 it was constant background noice.
For those legacy IPv4-only systems on the internet, I set up NAT64. I have an IoT VLAN and IoT 2.4 GHz wireless network that are only IPv4 because a lot of IoT network stacks are junk.

I'm still farting around with it, but man oh man, there's no way I'd go back to IPv4. It was one of the best moves I've done in ages.

I've been looking since March 2024. Having no reasonable options in sight, have reopened https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Finformationr.us%2F

Some colos don't even provide v6 yet.

Some ISP's still don't suport it.

Some classes of network gear only recently got hardware v6 support. Older gear still in service pushes v6 onto the CPU. Probably why those colos and ISP's don't support it.

And I still see important v6 fixes coming in hardware changelogs, mostly on the LAN management stacks (neighbor discovery, mDNS, etc.)

That said, the pieces are finally coming together in the past two years, roughly.

I would bet 2030* will see v6 at around 75% of traffic as that old gear is tricked out and the stacks wind up in maintenance mode.

At home I actually have more light bulbs on v6 than desktops, but that'll change when my switches get too old and tired. I could replace them all right now to change but there would be no benefit to me for dropping three to four grand. None of my home use cases would benefit.

* 2038 if the politicians do actually create a global depression which is looking increasingly likely

They're pissing on 'you' and telling you it's raining, if the summary is correct.

It usually follows the business model collapsing and precedes a fork and the original just going into support.

Does BYD make dumb cars or is that mandatory control-grid over there?

Also, how dare they not comply with a US control grid!

Excuse me while I go find a '77 Lincoln Town Car. But do make a dumb electric with a good cold-weather battery and let me know.

I've seen too much sausage being made to bet on cell service always existing .

Yes, but it could prove the genes that could eventually be targeted by a gene therapy. As a therapeutic it might work for eradication even if it's not integrated.

Then there was that Chinese guy who got arrested for creating engineered babies with the outside claim being he was introducing HIV resistance but everybody thinks he was trying to enhance intelligence. If both are true things could get interesting.

In this job search, Linked In and Dice- but MOST of my LinkedIn devolves down into one of the above quickly. The number of scammers on Linked In is truly awesome.
