I'm lately getting hit occasionally by captchas when using Google or login walls when using YouTube. They think I'm a bot (clearly I'm not). Usually this goes away after I reboot my router, which changes my IPv4 address/IPv6 prefix. Does anyone know why this happens, and how I can fix/prevent it?

Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

PSA: Changing video card trips up BitLocker. If you're about to change your video card, please make sure beforehand to either disable ("suspend") BitLocker, or have a working copy of the recovery key somewhere safe.

Does anyone know of a DHCPv6 server implementation that can let me subdelegate individual subnets from the dynamic /56 I get from my ISP? Existing ones (ISC, Kea) seem to require you to have a static prefix, which I don't (it changes after every router reboot)

also pokรฉmon is a text game, not a movie with subtitles, so in practice the effect would be that i would read the text near-instantly and then either cut off the voice line or have to sit there listening to it while *literally nothing else happens*, and i'm not sure how that makes the game better

I think Apple broke MTKView and/or CAMetalLayer in iOS 26. I'm observing randomly appearing severe delays in present times, dropping framerate from 60fps to 30fps; this happens even with Apple's own Metal samples.

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

Not to preach toxic positivity but more people need to ignore the little worm in their brain that tells them to share bad posts.

There is no shortage of places to see this crap. Compulsively wallowing in it can't be healthy.

Make space to get weird instead of just angry and sad.

- MKW: I haven't had much time to test it, but the game overall feels good
- I'm running out of space on my desk, will have to reorganize stuff around

- SV runs disgustingly good, game is finally playable!
- Both Zeldas also massively improved by the S2E
- Battery charging (especially while docked) makes the thing toasty as hell
- Tested many of my games under S1 compatibility; everything OK so far

- Screen is a dust magnet, screen protector pretty much mandatory
- ProCon2 joysticks feel nice, DPad still not fixed (argh!!!!!)
- JoyCon straps 10000x better than S1
- Little noises when booting up docked
- ProCon2 USB cable much thinner than old one

Day 1 Switch 2 thoughts:

- Really quick setup process even with N account login
- Zero issues with dock/HDMI - 1440p60 HDR screen detected and calibrated
- Nice clicky feel when detaching JoyCons, was expecting tougher behavior
- Distinctive brand new Nintendo smell everywhere!

This was supposed to be a picture of a Switch 2 box (MKW bundle), with carrying case and Pro Controller. However, it seems Amazon has utterly fumbled the bag here in Spain with the preorders (and apparently all of Europe?). I don't even have any information on when my order will actually ship.
