I'm in the US and tried donating our child's potty chair. The donation spots I tried refused it because they weren't allowed to take anything which a child has to sit in or on for safety reasons. I even tried Value Village, which is a private second-hand store, and got the same response.

Into the garbage it went, sadly.

We (reddit) were blocked by AWS on this until 2017 or so. Since then it's mostly been an issue of reworking internal tooling and storage. There are a huge number of places we'd need to futz with to support IPv6, and to be honest we've had basically zero pressure to do so.

When pressure is zero and effort is high, things will go unchanged. I'm sure once pressure exists then some movement will occur. It seems most of the industry is doing everything they can to put off incurring pressure, though.

Not any immediate plans. Decent amount of development is necessary there. There are so many places in our various systems that work with IP addresses, and many of them don't support v6 addresses.

Thankfully, if someone is MITM'ing you, or has acquired the IP of your host, then the SSH fingerprint check against your known_hosts will prevent them from snagging your password in this manner. (provided the host's private key hasn't also been stolen)

That is, as long as you don't ignore the "IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!" message.

It's the code names of the exploits which are being released by Shadow Brokers. Likely the names which the original authors utilized. Equation Group is known to utilize code names like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_Group#Codewords_and_t...

To each their own. I've lived in cities and suburbs, and I personally greatly prefer the latter. I'm not alone - I promise.

It's fine if some, or even most, think that suburbia is hell on earth. Criticize suburbia all you like. Don't live there. Go someplace you enjoy. Also, try not to assume that your feeling on this matter is objectively correct.

For those wanting something safer but similar, see the `fc` shell function.

The traffic surge from the Boston incident is extremely marginal compared to the DDoS which we're facing right now. It is far and above any form of possibly being compounded, unfortunately.

But I wish it was :) Compounding I can deal with, astronomical is harder.

They're slamming over 20x our normal bandwidth with URL containing things such as "boston", "your_gay", etc.

Certain beyond any shadow of doubt.

We're mostly recovered, at this time.

FWIW, we're no longer under Conde Nast.

Journalists were the first to reach out to us, not the other way around. While I do agree that there is a trend in online journalism to hunt down page views rather than legitimate news, I personally feel that the story presented here is newsworthy. The information provided by integ3r on the shooting was the most succinct early coverage that I saw. Of course I'm a bit biased on that point.
