Some of the most useful drivers in CUPS are "Generic PCL Laser Printer" and "Generic PostScriptPrinter". The Canon drivers for my ImageClass MF8580Cdw offer some extra features, but both of those drivers work with it and many other printers if you're just concerned with printing. It will also work over lpd, HP's hpjis or whatever, HTTP, or HTTPS. I used to have (and probably still do in a drawer) a standalone network print server to hook up to non-network-native printers. For that I could use PCL or PostScript generic drivers depending on the printer, too. Or I could actually FTP a text, PS, EPS, PCL, or IIRC PDF file directly to the print server.

Not everything useful is your primary desktop.

At this point an iPhone 5s is both cheaper and easier to order than a RaspberryPi 4B. People have lots of uses for those, which is why they're sold out everywhere that's not scalping or price gouging.

I imagine you'd usually, outside a massive backbone, terminate these into passive optical mux/demux equipment before it ever got near electronic routers or switches.

That appears to be a cable of 20 fiber pairs, with each fiber in each pair still having a single core.

You'd really just need your gateway router to do NAT for you. We could reserve a /8 for mapping active v6 connections into your v4 network. The internal v4 network doesn't need to know who it's actually talking to unless you've got a server that cares about accurate logs. You can log the mappings of the NAT from the router. If you do care at the server who's accessing it, run v6.

Why would that traffic get past the router? Why wouldn't that be internal traffic, and tunneled if it needs to go over the Internet?

There's a lot more to RFC 1918 space than 192.168/16. You're forgetting 10/8 and 172.16/12 completely here.

Honestly, though, if the whole public Internet refuses to route any IPv4 at all, then all IPv4 could be used at every installation behind that 6-to-4 bridge. There's no shortage if each private network can have 4 billion addresses. Anyone who needs to route directly without NAT in your scenario could just do the right thing and use IPv6.

Interesting you think career DoD people support a man over a nation state to which they've dedicated their careers.

As I said, he's a stupid fucking fascist tool and his motives here reflect that. Removing the copyright extensions is I imagine the only piece of policy regarding anything anywhere on which he and I would agree. The reasons for doing so are different, because I am not a stupid fucking fascist like Josh Hawley.

Josh Hawley is a stupid fascist fucking tool and his motives reflect that. I can't argue with returning some common sense to copyright limits, though.

Absolutely. The location and victims and the fact that it happened are newsworthy. The name of the person attacking is nearly irrelevant to public discourse except to sensationalize all the neighbors saying how quiet he was and his aunties saying he was such a good boy. Stop giving them the notoriety they crave, and it might prevent a couple of future attacks by someone feeling marginalized and anonymous.

I still have my 2000 and the Video Toaster for it (but not the drive array for the Toaster). I'd be interested in a mini version of an Amiga that hooks up to a USB keyboard and mouse, but I may as well just use UAE.

We've been told for years that having no laws and no regulations was a good thing, and that access equals ownership. So if these people have access, therefore have ownership, how could they steal what they own? Perhaps lessons like this will teach cryptobros why we have laws and regulations around money and other property, if they're capable of learning that and willing to do so.

East Texas is not desert. You're thinking of west Texas. Texas is a sizable state with green hills, subtropical beaches, mountains, plains, swamps, and yes, desert. East Texas is places like Beaumont, Lufkin, Marshall, Tyler, Texarkana, and Nacogdoches. It's forest, swamp, small towns, farms, ranches, and farm-to-market highways. Yes, oil fields can still be relatively remote, but it's not like they said this is west of Midland or north of El Paso. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...
