Yes, Russia can shut off its Internet and computers. Know that super useful AI model out of Russia? Its name slips my tongue. Imagine how much better it will get.
That doesn't matter if you can't easily leave Russia, or you don't want to because you've been propagandized, etc.
I guess my broader point is we might need something for regimes that are willing to instate varying degrees of isolation. Like, "so your Internet is controlled by authoritarians; now what?" Not to imply there definitively is a thing--that xkcd about the wrench is the dominant principle ofc.
tracepath on Linux does not need the CAP_NET_RAW capability (or full root capabilities) during network data processing because it relies on the Linux socket error queue behavior. I assume traceroute on OpenBSD opens all required sockets and immediately drops privileges.
Its metropolitan area major economic indicators still look brutal. Its peak unemployment rate was almost 24% during COVID when its labor force participation rate went to 43.5%. That means only 33% of adults were employed in periods during COVID...
Now it is closer to 46.6% of adults working. That's the best of times for the Detroit area.
mDNS is orthogonal to ULA. mDNS is for discovery and name resolution, whereas ULA is for IP connectivity. And mDNS operates at the link-local scope (link-local addresses), whereas ULA is scoped for the entire home network.
When a Multicast DNS responder sends a Multicast DNS response message
containing its own address records, it MUST include all addresses
that are valid on the interface on which it is sending the message,
and MUST NOT include addresses that are not valid on that interface
(such as addresses that may be configured on the host's other
interfaces). For example, if an interface has both an IPv6 link-
local and an IPv6 routable address, both should be included in the
response message so that queriers receive both and can make their own
choice about which to use. This allows a querier that only has an
IPv6 link-local address to connect to the link-local address, and a
different querier that has an IPv6 routable address to connect to the
IPv6 routable address instead.
So instead of using static ULA addresses, you can use the the routable address returned by mDNS. It can often replace the ULA address use case.
RFC 7368 for home networks recommends the use of ULA locally.
> A home network running IPv6 should deploy ULAs alongside its globally unique prefix(es) to allow stable communication between devices (on different subnets) within the homenet
> When an IPv6 node in a homenet has both a ULA and a globally unique IPv6 address, it should only use its ULA address internally and use its additional globally unique IPv6 address as a source address for external communications.
RFC 7368 is a 2014 "informational" (no ietf standing) doc so it's not a source for current IETF advice. Also it was part of the since closed "homenet" working group initiative trying to define some new stuff that did not get vendor uptake.
But in substance, if you have several subnets, then using ULA may make sense depending on what you're trying to do. However most home networks don't subnet.
Unmentioned in the Wikipedia article is RFC 7368 IPv6 Home Networking Architecture Principles[1] that discusses them as well.
> A home network running IPv6 should deploy ULAs alongside its globally unique prefix(es) to allow stable communication between devices (on different subnets) within the homenet
And I know the homenet WG has concluded but I found RFC 7368 IPv6 Home Networking Architecture Principles[1] interesting as well, including its discussion of reachability and RFC 6092 Recommended Simple Security Capabilities in Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) for Providing Residential IPv6 Internet Service.[2] IPv6 still occasionally seem more flaky than IPv4 with some set ups though.
> Would crime go up, down or stay the same if all surveillance cameras were removed?
I would think the same, crime rates would be unaffected in the short and medium term, since I don't think it prevents much crime given the short or non-custodial sentences given many criminals. Clearance rates and justice (conviction rates) would likely go down though IMO.
> In November 2023, the labor force participation rate reached 62.8%
In November 2023, the prime age (25-54 years old) labor force participation rate was 83.4%.[1]
> At the same time, the labor force participation rate edged down from 62.0% in February to 61.9% in March, the lowest level since November 2021.
The prime age LFPR was 83.9% and 83.8% in February and March 2026, and 82% in November 2021.[1]
The prime age labor participation rate is just about the highest it's ever been in recorded history. The gender gap is also the lowest it's ever been.[2]
