What is the difference between a “suicide drone” and a missile? Both are just guided to run into their target. It’s not like an ICBM wants to return home after dropping the payload.

I did it, well… because I could.

That is a very valid reason. I could see setting it up to learn more about how IPv6 works. I just wanted to see if I could get any actual advantages with it.

office situation where there are a large number of devices

That would make sense as a place to have it. Having a large number of devices where each having an external IP would be handy. My environment really only needs one or two devices having direct external access.

I mean, I don’t have NAT traversal between my NAS and devices on my lan now, they are routed because they are different VLANs but that would happen anyway.

Do people have problem with ip conflicts? I guess if I wasn’t running DHCP that would be possible.

Right now NAT is my main firewall between most devices and the wider internet, but I do still run pfsense and have firewall rules in place.

Switching over to IPv6 seems like it would be extra work for very little actual benefit.

What do you get out of IPv6 for lan routing vs just sticking to IPv4 for everything?

He could have received the same board by having an intern or high school electronics student design it with no oversight.

He also could have sent the result to another AI with the prompt “point out all the errors in this design and tell me if we should have it printed”.

This was just a dumb “hur hur, AI bad stunt”

I would be fine with interdiction of the whole country. We need some old-timey pope bs.
