ELI5: ipv6
  • It took me 15 seconds with chatgpt

    IPv6 is the newest version of the Internet Protocol (IP), which is used to identify and communicate with devices on the internet, like phones, computers, and smart home gadgets.

    ELI5 Explanation:

    Imagine the internet is like a huge city with billions of houses (devices). To send mail (data) between houses, each house needs a unique address. The older version, IPv4, only had about 4 billion unique addresses, and we’ve run out of them because the internet has grown so big.

    IPv6 is like a new system of house numbers that has way more possible addresses — so many that we could give an address to every grain of sand on Earth and still have extras. This makes it easier for every device to have its own address without sharing or using tricks like NAT (which hides multiple devices behind one address).

    Why It Looks Complicated: IPv6 addresses use longer strings with both letters and numbers (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334), so they seem more complex than the simpler IPv4 addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1).

    Why NAT Might Not Be Needed: With so many unique addresses available, IPv6 allows each device to connect directly to the internet without needing NAT, which was a workaround for sharing a single IP address among many devices.

    Would you like me to find a video or visual resource for a quick overview of IPv6?

    Yes

    Here are some beginner-friendly videos that explain IPv6 clearly and concisely:

    1. IPv6 Explained Simply – This video provides an easy-to-understand overview of the basics of IPv6, covering why it was created and how it functions. You can watch it here.

    2. IPv6 Basics for Beginners – This tutorial delves into how IPv6 addressing works, its structure, and the comparison between IPv4 and IPv6. Check it out here.

    Playstation 5 Pro coming in November: $700/€800, 2TB, no disc drive, no vertical stand
  • Look it is insane that they dont include a vertical stand and disc drive.... But maybe the time has come to buy a secondhand PS5 (since there are always people really wanting the latest version and might sell their base PS5)

  • Playstation 5 Pro coming in November: $700/€800, 2TB, no disc drive, no vertical stand
  • Alright this is awesome.... Still not gonna buy it because of money and the lack of it. But who knows

    • Upgraded GPU: With PS5 Pro, we are upgrading to a GPU that has 67% more Compute Units than the current PS5 console and 28% faster memory. Overall, this enables up to 45% faster rendering for gameplay, making the experience much smoother.
    • Advanced Ray Tracing: We’ve added even more powerful ray tracing that provides more dynamic reflection and refraction of light. This allows the rays to be cast at double, and at times triple, the speeds of the current PS5 console.
    • AI-Driven Upscaling: We’re also introducing PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, an AI-driven upscaling that uses a machine learning-based technology to provide super sharp image clarity by adding an extraordinary amount of detail.

    Generating not existing sources

    Dear all!

    As I am quite new to all this, maybe a very noob question. I prompted bing, bard and chatgpt (3.5) with the same question. Bing just straight up answered different questions but delivered sources I could check. Bard and chatgpt answered my questions but just invented (all) sources. Just made up randomised authors and title names. Bard delivered links to said scientific articles, but when you followed the link the articles in question were completely different.

    1. How can you I trust delivered results, when the sources are made up?

    2. And also: why? Why didn't it say for example there are no meta-analyses?

    3. is it better in the payed version from chatgpt?

    Thanks in advance!

    Switch Spines on Lemmy or kbin?

    Question: can we set up something similar as the Reddit Switch Spines community? I truly like my colourful spines but I have no idea how to get this thing started!

    Btw posting this from Lemmy on kbin feels old school cool

    Defederate from threads/meta

    Hi guys,

    So I maybe have a major noob question. But with threads and meta joining the fediverse, and instances should (could/shouldn't/will or will not) defederate from them... Is there something that I, as a simple user, can of should do?

    Update Ok so lemmy.world just posted this https://lemmy.world/post/1274909

    Saying they are going to wait and see.

    To be honest, I don't trust meta for one bit so maybe it is time to switch server

    Update 2 I liked this post https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

    Update 3 Apparently I can't migrate my account (yet)...
