I re-watch Enterprise regularly and I STILL immediately think of Sterling Archer instead of Johnathan Archer D=

I'm more interested in these bail peprs, I wonder what the conversion rate is?

The microcomputers (raspberry pi, arduino, whatever) could have a modern network interface and relay the communication to the embedded devices over oldschool serial. But yeah, straight DNS wouldn't work. I like the idea though, gonna start posting my 10 favorite IP addresses on a piece of paper on the fridge. Who needs excel!

Oh, now that you mention it I've never tried to map a static DNS entry to a device without DNS. Welp, time to get thousands of raspberry pi's to act as IP KVMs!

On my home network I make sure that my PDs are the same as my VLAN IDs so that I can at least know where a device is based on its IP. If I was smart I would also line them up with the IPv4 subnets as well.

I was going to say, my friend has to maintain some fucking DOS systems because their ancient embroidery machines only want to talk to software as old as they are, over connections as old as they are.

If you set up your DNS correctly then you don't even need the IPs. Just give devices unique, human-readable names and maybe do separate sub-domains for each site or something.

it's not a browser extension, its a SLAAC thing https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/deploy360/2014/privacy-extensions-for-ipv6-slaac.

TL;DR is that SLAAC used to use part of your device MAC to form it's IP, which would be trackable/fingerprintable. Now devices just pick the last 48-bits at complete random on the assumption that no other device is going to have that specific address out of the 4 quintilion available addresses.

If they lost to a bunch of emus it wouldn't surprise me to find out that they're scared of the russians!

Thanks, I had almost forgotten that abomination existed! Yeah, that's a good point. I wonder if that's part of why they killed her off so unceremoniously. Whatever the case, I'm really glad both Denise and Tasha were brought back for Yesterday's Enterprise because she gave a great performance alongside ~~Shooter McGavin~~ Christopher McDonald.

Damn, I didn't have "Austria (potentially) breaks 70 years of neutrality" on my World War III bingo card.

Oh wow, I never even put together that she was Bing Crosby's granddaughter.
