OpenBSD makes it easy to try IPv6 tunnelbroker.net with NAT64/DNS64 if your ISP only has IPv4 ("one more lab test away.." they say).

This has worked for me well for a couple years. I do use a VLAN to keep the IPv6-only network separate (homelab) from video streamers in the household.

In my pf.conf:

    # IPv6 tunnel
    block in log on $tun6_if all
    block in quick on $tun6_if inet6 from fd00::/8 to any
    antispoof quick for $tun6_if
    # allowed icmp6
    pass in quick log on $tun6_if inet6 proto icmp6 icmp6-type {
        unreach, toobig, timex, paramprob, echoreq
    }
    # MSS clamping 60 bytes less than HE 1480
    # 20 byte IPv4 tcp header + 40 byte IPv6 ip header
    match on $tun6_if all scrub (random-id max-mss 1420)

and in /var/unbound/etc/unbound.conf:

    # DNS64/NAT64
    module-config: "dns64 validator iterator"
    dns64-prefix: 64:ff9b::/96

Done. I don't have 464XLAT on Win11 but I do want to know if there's a hard coded IPv4 address anyway. I never had an issue.

Forgot the most important part of pf.conf!

    # NAT64
    pass in inet6 from any to $nat64_prefix af-to inet from ($ext_if)

I love how people are passionate about fonts. Search for the 2017 Saturday Night Live skit with Ryan Gosling "Papyrus". It captures the obsession!

"It’s like they spent $300 million on the movie, and then.. They just used Papyrus."

Sadly, in this particular case, it's not the font that they are obsessed about.

My friends and I still reference "Shakira merch" from that sketch

yes! the first one^1 is hilarious! the sequel^2 is somehow equally funny.

Or OpenBSD, in my case a USG-3P. I would have otherwise tossed it but now it's a nice OpenBSD switch.

    OpenBSD 7.7 (GENERIC) #339: Sun Apr 13 17:52:27 MDT 2025
        deraadt@octeon.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/octeon/compile/GENERIC
    real mem = 536870912 (512MB)
    avail mem = 521142272 (497MB)

Only complaint I have with Unifi is so-so IPv6 support. I'd love to see a NAT64/DNS64 option configurable in their UI.

Can anyone comment on wafer-scale systems, multiple equivalent chips on an entire wafer?

Seems like where things are heading?

Only Cerebras is doing wafer-scale. It seems to be working for them but no one is copying them. The minimum unit (one wafer) costs millions and it's not clear how good their multi-wafer scaling is.

A 300mm wafer on a recent process node (TSMC N3) is estimated to be around $20k at quantity[1]. I don't know what kind of testing and crazy packaging processes would cost for a wafer-scale chip, but I can't imagine it would put the price anywhere near the millions.

I'd love to see a non-programmable version. If I recall it would be something like the HP 10C. It's because I just want the RPN part along with math functions.

A good example: Taking your FCC ham license exam does not permit use of your phone or a programmable calculator. They would have allowed me to use it.

I had practiced for the exams with my old HP 11C. It was jarring to have to switch to a TI calculator during the test.

Swiss Micros makes several reproductions of old HP calculators such as the 11c, 12c, 15c ...etc. I know the 15c has keystroke macros, but not sure about the 12c.

Edit: it looks like you're right and they're all programmable. My mistake.

Also towards the bottom of the site:

> Tell your friends and family about XSLT.

It's hard enough telling them to also get off Instagram and Whatsapp and switch to Signal to maintain privacy. I'm going to have a hard time explaining what XSLT is!

> also their lack of IPv6 on anything but their mobile network is annoying.

This gives me even less confidence after BCE took over ZiplyFiber, US PNW provider. There's a long running joke about IPv6 just one more lab test away from deployment.

Speaking of .NET, I've been successfully running .NET 9 on AMD64 FreeBSD. It's nice to have that choice.

I use NetBSD on a Pine64 RockPro64 and use USB3. It has been stable:

    awge0: flags=0x8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
            ec_capabilities=0x1<VLAN_MTU>
            ec_enabled=0x1<VLAN_MTU>
            address: 26:80:xx:xx:xx:xx
            media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full-duplex)
