Mildly cursed factoid about UNC paths:

- UNC Paths can contain IP addresses such as \\192.168.1.1\share
- IPv6 addresses are supported as well
- IPv6 addresses contain colons
- can't have colons in Windows paths since colons are reserved for drive letters

So Microsoft came up with the the ipv6-literal.net domain that's special-cased by Windows so you can to write IPv6 addresses in UNC paths as 2a0e-3c0--21.ipv6-literal.net without it hitting any resolvers.

in reply to Lukas

Ehm what? Never know of that one. however what is more interesting why is this domain registered registered and having A-Records (no AAAA-RRs) pointing towards AWS?!?

But it appears this is even more stupid. Within one product you need to use multiple different representations.

What it doesn't say however is what Kerberos SPN windows will be looking for. Would you have to add one for the IPv6 address or one for that stupid "ipv6-literal.net" domain?

in reply to Lukas

Funny, one of the top hits on this is a 2010 blog post by Microsoft's Raymond Chen, but it links to an MSDN article that makes no mention of all this (but luckily the contemporary version that does has been collected by the Archive: web.archive.org/web/2010091802…)

"For Microsoft network providers on Windows Vista and later, the lpRemoteName member can contain an IPv6 address. However, the IPv6 literal format must be used so that the IPv6 address is parsed correctly. An IPv6 literal address is of the form:

ipv6-address with the ':' characters replaced by '-' characters followed by the ".ipv6-literal.net" string."

The United States has withdrawn from reforms introduced by the World Health Organisation (WHO) last year to enhance the global response to pandemics, part of a broader push by Washington against international regulations.

The administration of President Donald Trump formally rejected on Friday the 2024 amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) that were put in place in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Energy exports play a central role in Israel's campaign to normalize relations with its neighbors and avoid accountability for its ongoing genocide of Palestinians. An energy embargo on Israel should go hand-in-hand with calls for an arms embargo.

Federal Chancellor of Austria welcomed to ESA Headquarters

On Friday 18 July, His Excellency Christian Stocker, Federal Chancellor of Austria, visited ESA Headquarters in Paris receiving a tour of the site from Director General Josef Aschbacher.

It was the Chancellor’s first visit to an ESA establishment following his swearing in earlier this year. Visiting the Astrolabe interpretive centre, Mr Stocker saw how Austria’s participation in ESA contributes to the goals of sustainable development and scientific excellence, and also heard how commercial space has undergone rapid development in Austria. He was accompanied by the Austrian ambassador to France, Barbara Kaudel-Jensen.

Austria became ESA’s 12th Member State when it ratified the ESA Convention in December 1986 and while always strongly committed to Earth observation and space applications, Austria has recently diversified its space interests, becoming more involved in launchers, navigation and human and robotic exploration. Austrian Carmen Possnig was selected as a member of ESA’s astronaut reserve in 2022 and will commence her second phase of training in the autumn. Carmen joined the visit and enthusiastically answered questions from the assembled Austrian media.

As part of Austria's innovation community, the ESA PhiLab opened last year and has a current call for proposals open until 8 October. Just last month, Austria hosted the Living Planet Symposium, which brought together 6500 members of the Earth observation community to present scientific results and plan future activities. It was supported by a citywide 'Space in the City' festival in Vienna, organised by the Federal Ministry for Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure (BMIMI) and Urban Innovation Vienna GmbH (UIV) and demonstrating the everyday connections between citizens and space.

The moral stain on Israel has been there since the atrocious establishment of the state itself, hence I really don't care about this kind of pseudo-reflexive musings regarding its international reputation while it mass rapes, tortures and murders with war crimes and against international law supported by the majority of its population.

I just refuse to call this genocide a stain on Jewish history, see Einstein's view on Israel's establishment.

On the other hand Palestinians took Jewish refugees into their homes during the Holocaust, Palestinians were fighting the Nazsi in WW2 (in the British Army in North Africa)...

...but if you don't really care about the exact meaning of what you quote, then why should I. ;)

Thank you to the journalists who are continuing to investigate the monstrous treatment of the hundreds of human beings who were sent by the US government to El Salvador's #CECOT concentration camp.

404 Media has examined flight manifests and identified dozens of previously unknown deportees:

Few things demonstrate the lawlessness of the current US administration more thoroughly than this crime against humanity, which is ongoing.

It also shows the extent of the breakdown of the rule of law. This was in March - it's July now, and these people, if they are alive, are caged and traumatized daily. US taxpayers are footing the bill for their torture.

If you are in the US, please bear this fully in mind: _you are paying for this_. Your taxes are paying El Salvador to imprison these people in a concentration camp.

Please consider making a donation to the news organizations like @ProPublica and @404mediaco who are still on the case, and to immigrant rights organizations like freeandry.org/ who are, truly, fighting for the lives of these human beings.

Global Voices has a great story today on Turkey's partial block of Grok.ai. However you feel about Elon's Nazi-loving LLM, this is another example of Turkey blocking all sorts of online content it fears: globalvoices.org/2025/07/14/tu… We're doing a fundraiser for Global Voices this summer, in part because it's gotten really hard to fund independent journalism like this.

Ciberpunk era asumir que el futuro –y por desgracia, ya el presente– nos condenaba a vivir bajo la bota de las corporaciones, las IAs, los magnates billonarios que nunca tienen bastante y los gobiernos dictatoriales que los amparan. Con la cabeza cada vez más agachada y el rostro cada vez más aplastado contra el asfalto ardiente.

Y siempre pensé que era inevitable.

Solarpunk es imaginar que los sistemas se pueden hackear y reprogramar a algo mejor, las máquinas reparar y las sociedades reconstruir, más pequeñas, más eficientes y respetuosas, más humanas. Que el dinero se puede quemar a montones para dar calor de noche, que es lo único para lo que sirve realmente. Que la tierra sanará, habrá verano e invierno, lloverá agua que no esté envenenada, habrá plantas y cultivaremos otra vez.

Y que mientras no ocurra puedo planearlo, soñarlo y escribirlo, construyendo ese refugio en mi cabeza.

US is really really #Dumbfuckistan where the only one telling the truth about Israel is this neanderthal lunatic.

With 422 to 6 votes, the US House of Representatives rejected an amendment from marjorie Taylor Greene, which was to delete $500 million military aid to Israel from the 2026 defense budget.

Only zwei Republicans and four democrats supported the application - a clear signal: The cross -party support for Israel remains unbroken.

📣 Taylor Greene criticized:

"Israel is a nuclear power. You can defend yourself. You have health insurance for all and subsidized universities - while the United States is due to $ 37 trillion."

"Unrechtmäßige Polizeigewalt kommt in Deutschland deutlich häufiger vor als bisher bekannt.

Strafrechtlich geahndet werden sie nur selten. Weniger als zwei Prozent der Fälle kommen vor Gericht, weniger als 1 Prozent enden mit einer Verurteilung, so Singelnstein. Oft stehe das Wort der Bürger gegen das der Beamten."
