I use ULA prefixes to ensure the management interfaces of my devices don’t leak via public routes.
It’s one of the unique parts of the standard IPv6 stack not back ported to IPv4, that an interface on any host can be configured with multiple addresses. It permits functional isolation with the default routing logic.
IPv6 is far from perfect, but the majority of the arguments I’ve seen against deploying it are a mixture of laziness, wilful ignorance, and terminal incuriosity.
Configuring multiple v4 addresses on an interface is a kludge, typically only used on hosts which apply inter-network routing logic. It’s an explicit, primary function of the standard v6 specifications.
With v4, you would use either RFC1918 and NAT, or plumb a public address to the host.
With v6 you should use a ULA and an address with a public prefix, and selectively open ports/services to on appropriate address.
An example is the file sharing and administration daemons on my NAS are only bound to its ULA. I don’t need to worry whether it will accidentally be exposed publicly through fat fingering my firewall config, because it will never route beyond my gateway.
It’s not how much they took, it’s how little it took.
The US has the cheapest representation their money can buy.
A broadly educated population is toxic to conservative ideologies.
No serious entity can legitimately claim the arts don’t get funding when security theatre this entertaining exists.
A society which charges students to acquire knowledge values neither.
I never claimed education shouldn’t be paid for, nor that resources shouldn’t be applied to its provision, but a society which levels the financial burden on the student is imposing an artificial and indefensible barrier on their collective progress.
Further, education can only be framed as expensive when it is not appropriately valued as the investment it is.
Finally, taxes don’t pay for anything when the funding originates from the issuing entity of a fiat currency.
