so i finally got around to asking globe telecom (our isp, yes i’m naming and shaming) about ipv6, since we used to have it until semi-recently

“i want to inquire on the availability of ipv6 on my connection. we used to have it until around late last year, when our router has seemingly just stopped getting an ipv6 address from globe” insert image of router dashboard showing such

after literally hours of waiting in customer support chat, the agent just plainly said “Upon checking, IPv6 is not yet available at this time.”

i followed up with “we used to have it so why was it removed?”
(is it obvious that i was mildly annoyed by their answer)

they then replied with a canned response: “I apologize for what happened. Could you please provide me with the status of your internet connection?”

after that i just ghosted them lmao

so either that agent is being a fuckwad (by incompetence, laziness, or otherwise), or globe is really just taking a step backwards on this (or both!)

Hetzner, which many instances rely on, just announced a major across the board price hike. A 30% increase isn’t minor.

For larger companies it’s a budget line. For small Mastodon instances, it’s the line between sustainable and underwater.

When servers jump from €49.99 to €64.99 and storage rises too, admins feel it first. Many already subsidize costs.

Some will downsize. Some may shut down.

Decentralization still runs on invoices.

Support your instances.

RE: https://furry.engineer/@soatok/116088925054375056

I'm going to be very clear about something:

If you tell me that something I reported has "no security impact", I publish it as soon as possible.

If you're wrong in your assessment of the actual security impact, that's not my problem.

If you're citing an argument about the wrong level of abstraction, I will tell you you're wrong (and why) while I'm publishing.

Do you know a neat trick for avoiding this outcome?

It's called the Socratic method in fancy circles, but it's basically: Ask clarifying questions.

UK politics, new transgender guidance in schools
Show content

The Dept for Education has released new and updated guidance for schools about children wishing to transition. This guidance is statutory, which means it is a legal obligation for educational facilities in England to follow.

What is interesting is how the media has reported on this. Left and centrist papers (like the Guardian and i) have focused on the negatives of it, while right-wing media have made it out to be that Labour is being controlled by the all powerful trans rights activists. Here’s why.

The big headline move here is that schools will be expected “in the vast majority of cases” to tell parents if a child decides to socially transition. This is obviously very bad, because it puts the onus on teaching staff to care if it’s a good idea or not. It also puts pressure on staff to tell parents even if it may not be a good idea, lest they break this guidance and be at risk of breaking the law.

The other major change is that primary school pupils will be able to begin to socially transition, that is, schools should be allowed to recognise their new name and pronouns. This was already the case in secondary school, FE colleges, and universities. This is what the right-wing press have focused on.

But there is a catch: all guidance for under-18s has now changed to what I mentioned above. Schools can no longer unilaterally respect social transition without consulting parents and clinical practitioners. It is possible that parents can, and will, decide to stymie the transition of their children leaving them feeling trapped and alone.

The effect of this guidance is this: Schools in England will have a legal obligation to out transgender children to their parents.

This very much reminds me of Section 28, which I lived through as a child. It effectively acted like the Russian anti-LGBT laws, in that it criminalised talking about being gay or queer in state-run services (including schools). If you were gay, you could be forcibly outed.

The fact that the Government has the gall to say this is pragmatic is truly awful.

I will repeat again: schools in England now have a legal obligation to out transgender children to their parents.
