@jtk@infosec.exchange So..."we know what the right decision is, but it's harder, so we not only decided to apply yet another kludged hack layer but also wrote a glossy post bragging about that kludge"? I, too, have had to resort to terrible NAT hacks, but my response was a mix of resignation, sadness, shame, and yet more ammunition that I managed to leverage for an actual IPv6 adoption plan, not writing a vendor-collab "use case" post bragging about it?

Replying to @karafuto@mas.to
@karafuto@mas.to yea. I was planning on messing with ffmpeg for the time sliced version; thinking about it, there might be a way to get it to do vertical slice thing as well. Good point re: number of images. Probably I'd need to sample it down to 1 in every 10 or 20 images or such, at which point it might start to miss out on some key differences. Part of the fun in the big "year lapse," though, is definitely things like different cloud patterns, seeing the colours in the field change, etc; all things that would show up much better in full images versus vertical slices. Good things to think about, thx.

@karafuto@mas.to okay now you have my interest piqued. I'm trying to do a "photo a day" view of a spot on our property looking down a field towards the other side of a valley. I was planning on stitching it together into a "year lapse" at a few hundred milliseconds per frame, but this vertical slice composition could also be quite neat.

Replying to @baldur@toot.cafe
@baldur@toot.cafe I wonder if it's less that you'll be first against the wall and more that it won't save you from going up against the wall. Presumably in an "anti-AI revolution," the actual architects of the system would be first, though "moderates" would presumably be close behind as quisling collaborators and class traitors. In a "pro-AI revolution," though, my thinking is it's less that moderates would face specific targeting as "opponents" so much as the system simply doesn't care about you and you're still right down there in the ash and ruins. If there is any retribution in this scenario, presumably active opponents would still be "first"? My general read is that the "centrists" are hoping this just fizzles out (bubble collapses, some tech remains but the "big AI labs" and the hype wave are gone) rather than landing as a revolution in either direction.

@baldur@toot.cafe They're more constrained than they're letting on. Capacity and engineering resources are reserved for "AI" so corners are being cut Part of this, tbh, is prioritization, yea. E.g. take the Merge Queue issue. That was a software change. Quite possibly, though, that software change was made as part of scaling efforts, putting a more scalable system in place there. So, there is effort being placed into scaling, but those changes that trigger incidents are that's happening because of the increased demand from the AI wave. At the end of the day, there is a conscious decision, imho, to invest in AI features over other demands of operating and improving the system, and directing resources to those AI features then fuels even greater scaling demands. Based on business objectives, you're investing in things that make your other problems worse. It was a business decision of what to prioritize, and it's biting them.

@mttaggart it is also staggeringly infuriating that they call out energy competition with China, and then pivot to talking almost exclusively about ways to gut environmental policy, crank natural gas, etc., when China's lead in new energy capacity is specifically being led by solar and wind. We're apparently somehow both in an existential fight for dominance while also doing it in the stupidest way imaginable in order to appease ideologues.

@mttaggart I can drive an amazingly fuel efficient car: It still doesn't help if I'm changing from driving a couple of hundred kilometers a month to driving thousands. We're taking work that previously was not handled by machines and making machines do it, while also having those machines both output and ingest orders of magnitude more content.

@ghostinthenet it is completely unserious. Lump it in the same group as http://bill.herrin.us/network/ipxl.html (maybe was a serious attempt at one point, but that ship has sailed), https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-tang-ipv4plus-06 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-omar-ipv10-06.html and to a lesser extent https://github.com/schoen/unicast-extensions (as that doesn't propose a new protocol, just a whole bunch of software changes to keep ipv4 on life support).

@snowfox tbh I'd always considered this along the same lines as "assistant" voices in software being given feminine tones, whereas voices in recordings for directives ("proceed to the emergency exit immediately") being given male. IOW this all just being a continuation of the accommodating and subservient assistant being framed as female.

@glyph I think there is something in the middle. AI psychosis for is in the realm of a full mental episode, with delusions, visions of god or hidden, secret discoveries, etc. Beyond your "vibesick" definition, though, are individuals who seem somewhat obsessed. They'll talk about all night sessions, continually "researching" until 3 AM, "doing incredible things" or "insane output" etc. It's closer to an addiction. This is not just the gambling aspects that have been raised elsewhere, as this form doesn't seem to exhibit the behaviour of "one more pull and then it will all work out" as they do believe they're on this ongoing productivity high, but it definitely does have some sense of spiralling loss of self control or regulation. It's almost like a "token bender," where people just can't step away and continually tending bots takes over their every waking moment. There is an undercurrent of anxiety in it as well, where they feel this is an existential moment, which seems to drive this obsession of not being able to stop. Honestly it seems like some form of mania, even if it doesn't seem like all out psychosis where people have lost touch with reality completely.

Slowly losing my mind watching people reject technical proposals out of hand because they "don't see the point of this" or "can solve this way more simply in like an afternoon" only for them to reinvent the same thing from first principles as they hit all of the exact same problems one by one.

Repeaters out here are sparse because we're up in a narrow valley. I can hear some sporadic chatter out in the field, but it's dicey. I'll likely do some wardriving when I head into the office tomorrow, but other than that I'll now have to anxiously await the repeater I have on back order before we can get better coverage.

@arichtman yea, I'm talking here even at the level of "what is a token," but maybe to a degree I'm also frustrated at broader pieces like even a cursory understanding of the economics or especially the psychological factors being actively exploited in the business models. A hobbyist who got curious one afternoon knows more about these topics than people tasked with wielding massive amounts of dollars and setting business direction that impacts thousands of people. I understand that the higher up the chains you go, the greater the scope of possible topics and the greater the degrees of abstraction involved as well as the dependency on purported subject matter experts to summarize it for you. But there is just such a massive gap between the level of understanding of the topics, and the "urgency" and scope of impact and change being imposed. If you're going to be leveling this amount of upheaval, does not that warrant even an afternoon's or, heck, a week's focused attention on a subject? I understand that the whole industry is just a giant hype train firehose of opinions and shifting sands (supercharged in no small part by the information overload that LLMs themselves enable), but do you not owe it to the people whose lives you will be directly affecting to take a beat? Is it not your job to apply the requisite amount of due diligence commensurate to the possible impact of your decisions? It's just so frustrating when the same people that go on about "data driven decisions" will turn around and launch an absolute wrecking ball decision founded on nothing more than vibes, hearsay, and institutional fomo.

@arichtman@eigenmagic.net @uep@timeloop.cafe that sounds about right. tbh, this sounds like the GUIs or distribution-specific (opnsense, openwrt) abstractions are confusing things. Daniel has it above. Each node has: their own interface / listening address & private key configa list of peers Where each peer is configured with: an address to reach them on (Endpoint)their pubkeythe AllowedIPs that can be reached through that peer That requirement is the same in both directions. Router A has its own Interface / address / private key, and a peer for router B, which lists router B's endpoint address, pubkey, and the AllowedIPs to reach through router B. Router has its own Interface / address / private key, and a peer for router A, which lists router A's endpoint address, pubkey, and the AllowedIPs to reach through router A. If you also add site C, you would add a peer and endpoint + pubkey + allowedips entry for site C to both A and B's config, and then in site C's configuration add its interface / address / private key, and peer configs for routers A and B with their endpoint addresses, pubkeys, and the AllowedIPs to reach through each respective peer. Client-server abstractions here add more confusion than helpful, imho, for this type of setup. That can possibly be a helpful lens for a road warrior setup that's a more traditional client-server view, but for interconnecting sites through routers running wg in a site-to-site setup it just confuses things, imho.

@arichtman@eigenmagic.net @uep@timeloop.cafe @futzle@old.mermaid.town Now, if you have a service that you do want publicly accessible, so you run it on a GUA and point DDNS at that, but you also access that service from within your local site, then things can get interesting. I have a few cases like that. To be clear: just accessing from the same site as where the service is running, from other clients in that site, I mean. The trouble is v6 access if/when my Internet service is out. I will start to lose the more ephemeral v6 GUA prefix, and also if I'm accessing the service via a public name with DDNS on it, I start being unable to resolve that name as I want to keep the TTL on the DDNS name short. For that, I ended up creating an ingress. child zone, with things like a.ingress., and b, and c, and so forth, corresponding to the machines running or fronting the actual services. I run a split DNS auth zone for that ingress. locally, and my local resolvers are configured with that as a stub zone to forward to those local auth services. Those a and b and c etc records on the ingress zone then actually have the (stable) ULA addresses of the machines in there. Public users get the DDNS public GUA names; internal users on my own resolvers get shunted over to that internal auth zone via the stub zone config and get the ULAs back as the AAAA records. So, I can still access those local services (that are also publicly available) even if my public Internet connectivity is down.

@arichtman@eigenmagic.net @uep@timeloop.cafe @futzle@old.mermaid.town Circling back: Diving into all of this also starts to shed some light on what "value add" Tailscale provides for folks in these circumstances, e.g. providing "app connectors" to do exactly this, with injecting DNS-based routing through the Tailscale overlay into the mix. They can do that, though, because they're running an agent that's "more than just wireguard" and interacts with a coordination layer.

But, wait: If you're not punching a hole in the firewall to make the service at site B accessible from the public Internet, then why DDNS the address to a public DNS or against the GUA anyway? If the service should only ever be internally accessible, just pin the DNS record to the ULA and be done with it?

@arichtman@eigenmagic.net @futzle@old.mermaid.town I'm...a bit confused. I'm not using GUAs at all in the VPN config but I wanted to split tunnel my v6 delegated prefix over the LAN so I don't have to open the firewall. So... You want to access services on machine 2, at site B, from machines in site A. But you want to do that without punching holes in the firewall at site B. So you want to use wireguard to route privately from site A to site B. Yes? If so: If you have stable GUAs, then sure, you can chuck them in the wireguard config and then access site B resources from site A without punching holes in the firewall at site B to the public Internet. But, if you want stable addresses then we'll need either ULAs or something like acquired GUAs that get NPTv6 at edge (more complicated, imho; just adding for completeness). I don't believe wg would support dynamically injecting AllowedIPs based on DNS entries. You could try to do this yourself, but the problem is that AllowedIPs is configured on the "far" end, so you'd need to orchestrate or coordinate this. IOW if the GUA prefix at site B changes, you have to update the site B peer config at the site A router. What you could do is skip Wireguard crypto key routing and use a routing protocol instead, with 0/0 and ::/0 AllowedIPs in the peer config and Table = off. That has more moving parts (and things get more weird if you go point to multipoint with routing protocols over wireguard), but for a 2-site setup that could allow you to route to GUAs that are not stable, using DDNS to drive the traffic to the GUA addresses of site B and routing protocols across a ::/0 AllowedIPs peer config.

Sorry, on terminology: Yes, fair it can be used as either client server or site to site, but those denotations are a bit limiting anyway, imho. By peer to peer here I meant the traffic model with wg as effectively being a mesh topology. You can manipulate it to be hub and spoke etc, but the label is just...well, it doesn't seem to really be very useful. Anyhow: Just slap the full /48 ULAs in there, and use a fully discrete range for the actual wg overlay supernet.

@arichtman@eigenmagic.net aye, you can absolutely do that, but: There is no reason to limit the AllowedIPs to just a /64The wg interfaces don't need to be numbered from within any individual site's ULA /48 You kind of see this in the v4 equivalent guidance in those OPNSense docs: You will connect Site A LAN Net 172.16.0.0/24 to Site B LAN Net 192.168.0.0/24 using the Wireguard Transfer Net 10.2.2.0/24. The "Wireguard transfer net" is a fully discrete and separate network from the site A and B networks. If you have sites A and B, and you want to connect them through wireguard: Generate a /48 ULA for site AGenerate a separate /48 ULA for site BGenerate a separate /48 ULA again for wireguardPick a /64 from the wg ULA /48 to use for the wireguard overlay network, and number the wireguard interfaces at both sites A and B from that. This is the "wireguard transfer network". At site A's eg config when configured the site B peer, add site B's wg interface address to the peer AllowedIPs and also add the full site B /48 ULA to AllowedIPs as wellAt site B's wg config, do the inverse They may mention "just add the /64," but there is nothing preventing you from adding the full /48. You would then still control access to a given site using the firewall config at that site, for what is permitted in across the wg interface.

@arichtman@eigenmagic.net err, what? Wireguard is peer to peer. Do you mean from which block you number the wg interface itself? Pick a discrete network range that is independent of the sites, and number all of the sites' wg interfaces from that. It's an overlay network: it's not bound to any one particular site.

For the idea of encoding lat/lon in addressing: Eh, tbh that starts to lean a bit too much into numerology or significance of numbers for my taste. How often are you really going to examine network address bits and try to decode a geographical location from it? If you really want site type information, encode it in DNS zones somewhere in the name hierarchy, imho.

@arichtman@eigenmagic.net ULA: I'd pick a discrete /48 ULA per site. Numbers are cheap; don't try to ration them. For v4: I use a supernet 10.128/16 and then slice blocks per site. I haven't extended that to multiple sites, but the intention is to keep consistency within the blocks for subnets relative to the site base. The reason for 10.128/16 is to get out of the noise of 192.168/16, but also avoid the lower parts of 10/8 that might be more common in corp networks so I don't have overlaps on eg split tunnel routes for client VPN.

Co-founder https://peacecanada.org Flinger of packets; network engineer by trade. These days more general platform tech, strategy, and generally trying to make it suck less to develop, deploy, and run stuff at scale. Expect tech nerdy things, snark & bad puns, and nature & animal pics. My employer's social media policy says I have to tell you I work for Demonware -> Activision Publishing -> Activision Blizzard -> Microsoft Gaming, and that "views are not necessarily those of my employer".
