We have plenty of ticks thank you very much. My partner picks up ticks from walking the dogs about twice a week, I don't seem to get them very rarely

They carry Lyme disease, and a small number encephalitis

Sold as AEG power tools in Europe (and maybe elsewhere), manufactured by TTI who also makes Ryobi and Milwaukee.

Don't forget the tech giants are all IPv6 enabled. Google Netflix Apple xhamster Facebook Microsoft are all reachable over v6.

Well the "one address" bit sure :) but given the scale supported by CGNAT systems today, I don't think being able to support an entire country behind a single cluster is that far off. At which point the difficulty becomes "is the 100.64.0.0/10 block big enough"? Or maybe they're using DS-lite for the hauling from private network to the NAT.

While exploring solutions, I use f or ffto mean “follow-up/to-squash” and a to mean logically separate. Sometimes other (additional) short abbreviations to know where to move, squash, and edit the changes to.

I recently discovered git commit --fixup=abcd1234: it will make a new commit with a message of fixup! <message from abcd1234>. (It's the only special thing that flag does: a specially formatted commit message, which you can craft yourself if you remember the spelling of the fixup! marker.)

When you later rebase, git rebase --interactive --autosquash will automatically mark that commit to be a fixup of abcd1234.

magit for emacs has shortcut for creating a fixup commit selecting the previous commit, I'm sure other interfaces do too.

I guess my commit descriptions get better with project lifetime

I've found that too, which I think is because as the project matures, you're more likely to make fixes or contained features, as opposed to regular "change everything" as you explore the design in a young project.

As @shane@feddit.nl says, you can use the same public port for many different destination address, vendors may call it something like "port overloading".

More importantly, you can install a large pool of public address on your CGNAT. For instance if you install a /20 pool, work with a 100 users / public address multiplexing, you can have 400,000 users on that CGNAT. 100 users / address is a comfortable ratio that will not affect most users. 1000 users / address would be pushing it, but I'm sure some ISP will try it.

If you search for "CGNAT datasheet" for products you can deploy today, the first couple of results:

• https://www.fortinet.com/content/dam/fortinet/assets/data-sheets/fortinet-cgnat-solution.pdf Fortinet claiming 1.8 billion concurrent TCP sessions, supporting 25 million new TCP session/s
• https://www.f5.com/pdf/products/big-ip-cgnat-datasheet.pdf F5 claiming "Scales up to 310 Gbps of throughput at Layer 7 with over 480 million concurrent sessions"
• https://www.a10networks.com/wp-content/uploads/A10-DS-Thunder-CGN.pdf A10 Thunder 8665S 800 million concurrent TCP sessions

This is the behaviour of inet_aton, which ping uses to translate ASCII representations of IPv4 addresses to a 32 bit number. Its manpage: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/inet_aton.3.html

It recognizes the usual quad decimal notation of course, but also addresses of the form a.b.c or a.b, or in this instance, a, with is taken to be a 32bit number.

Each part can also be written in hex or octal, with the right prefix, such that 10.012.0x800a is as valid form for 10.10.128.10.

Not all software use inet _aton to translate ASCII addresses. inet_pton for instance (which understands both v4 and v6) doesn't

Inside the lambda expression you can have a comprehension to unpack the keys list to get the same sort of uplet as your "manual" example, like this:

>>> items = [{"core_name": "a", "label": "b"},{"core_name": "c", "label": "d"}, ]
>>> keys = ["core_name", "label"]

>>> tuple(items[0][k] for k in keys)
('a', 'b')

>>> sorted(items, key=lambda d: tuple(d[k] for k in keys))
[{'core_name': 'a', 'label': 'b'}, {'core_name': 'c', 'label': 'd'}]

I actually had to look it up when writing that post, I think I searched for "garden gate lock" at first :)

Offering a crate as a safe and cosy space to relax, sleep, etc. is recommended by the RSPCA (and the Dog Trust, Battersea, and many more).

In normal use it's fitted with a small mattress, vet bed, toys (that I didn't show because I didn't make those myself).

A standard poodle. In that picture he hadn't had his first trim yet, so he's showing gloriously fluffy puppy hair

Since I have a few pictures and you're asking nicely 😃 I opened another post: https://programming.dev/post/25943048

The second thing I mentionned were some shelves that had to fit in a very specific spot, but I don't have pictures to hand
