This is getting a bit more traction than my posts usually do, so hi, people reading me, a bit more context for my being pissed off about Calibre putting AI into its feature set:

I am an author. I've released work with Carina Press, and I've released work on my own. My released work is on record […]

Does anyone know of a DHCPv6 server implementation that can let me subdelegate individual subnets from the dynamic /56 I get from my ISP? Existing ones (ISC, Kea) seem to require you to have a static prefix, which I don't (it changes after every router reboot)

I think Apple broke MTKView and/or CAMetalLayer in iOS 26. I'm observing randomly appearing severe delays in present times, dropping framerate from 60fps to 30fps; this happens even with Apple's own Metal samples.

If you’re affected by the IETF LLC’s inaction, or just find the body in charge for designing the Internet we all rely on to be in the wrong here; I invite you to sign my open letter to the board: https://boycott-ietf127.org

To communicate the urgency: I likely have ~2 months from now to find a job, else Germany will kindly ask me to leave.

I already qualify for permanent residence (which'd get rid of that looming threat), but can't apply unless I currently have a job past probation period 🙃 (my last company was […]

This is a public service announcement to **never** ever use Oracle
