@GergelyOrosz They know. They don't care. It's theatre.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

@heygurisingh DNS tunneling through port 53 has been around for years. As have the ways to block it.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

@DefiIgnas @claudeai 4.7 is nerfed from the off. It can't remember things it was told two prompts ago or even how it works itself "sorry, you'll need to start a new chat, I've exceeded tool calls", no other just exceeded them for that turn.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

@AlecDacyczyn @realsigridjin Yes, history repeats itself yet again. Someone trying to force their workflow and build onto everyone else. Just like they tried with IPv6 to start with (IPsec etc.) which is why it floundered for so long.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

@gindi4711 @VixieTSQ @realsigridjin If your are worrying about IP addresses then I would say that you're more than capable of running internal DNS resolver so that DNS on internal networks isn't an issue. Which is exactly what the vast majority do already.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

@AXA6AXA @realsigridjin 45-50% of traffic to google is IPv6. I'd say you've not looked very hard.

@Patrick1Kennedy @dhh @ServeTheHome Early days of raid controllers were better in our experience, near the end, it didn't matter who made it. If a drive was dying it locked the controller and caused downtime - the very thing it was supposed to reduce! Moving to a SDS solution was the best thing we ever did.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

What is going on @VodafoneUK ? Ever since you bought @ThreeUK your network has been awful. An Edge signal in the middle of @LoveMeadowhall ?!! Frequent zero throughput, degraded signal strength *everywhere*. It's like going back in time 20 years!

@KnightUK007 @RyanceyReturns They didn't copy it, we gave them it.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

@RyanceyReturns "Isn't some other countries tech" err yeah, the VTOL is.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

@Florianplatau @levelsio Yes, let's blame PHP for putting all the code in one file and for zero proper dev practices.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

@FPMarcil @markgadala 2030 is what we have been told by suppliers.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

@virustotal Further raises the question of why @AVGFree uses data from @virustotal when it can't be trusted. So they are actively telling users that a website is dangerous and can't be trusted, without any firm data to back that up. Dodgy sounding ground to me.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

Why are you using data from Phishing.Database @virustotal ? It's a dumpster fire of data with no veracity at all. They've listed the whole of AWS S3, Docusign and others. Clearly not reputable data at all.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

@tomvanmechgelen @troyhunt @haveibeenpwned @Cloudflare At least it wasn't as long as they take to answer support requests properly. There wouldn't be a lot of work getting done by people for the next few weeks.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

@CrazyVibes_1 One of my male Scouts crochets, he did a presentation on it to the troop the other week.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

@KinkyContango @eepyware Really not

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

@Cloudflare Yeah, even calling @Cloudflare / @CloudflareHelp out on X doesn't work now for support either. Come on, it shouldn't be this hard for partners.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

Ugh, can't believe I've had to log back in to X to try and get support from @Cloudflare again. Shouldn't have to do this. We are a partner, referring me to the feature list for plans does not help when I've told you the feature should be available on this plan but we get an error

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

@Dr_Bekka_UK @Anthony67641209 Let's call it what it is, UC subsidises companies that refuse to pay a proper wage that is liveable.

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

"I believe this information should be sufficient to address the issue at hand"

No. It is not. You've not read the issue at all.
