  • Edit: whoops, I missed the “il” part in “not illegal”. Anyway you should definitely not do the following. Allegedly doing the following would be arson, and society frowns upon such things.

    Easy:

    1. Identify company
    2. Wait until it’s a weekend night. We’re not after the wage slaves after all.
    3. Mix polystyrene and gasoline. Remember that gasoline can melt some plastics, so if using a plastic container for mixing do a test first. You do not want napalm all over the place.
    4. Fill the gooey substance in glass bottles.
    5. Cap the bottles. (see #7)
    6. Drive to the company.
    7. Open bottles and put wicks in them. (important not to do this earlier. Driving with open gasoline containers in your car will make you drowsy and is a fire hazard)
    8. If you haven’t already got gloves on, put them on and wipe down the bottles - you may have to leave some at some point.
    9. Have accomplices trigger fire alarms all over the local fire department’s district. Either automatic fire alarms will be discarded for a bit or the marshall will be tied up investigating.
    10. Light a wick, throw the bottle at the company, try to get it to break a window.
    11. If you’re out of bottles or you see blue lights cheese it. Otherwise go back a step and repeat it.


  • Thing is there’s only four manufacturers of reactors in Europe:

    • French/Japanese Framatome
    • Italian/Chinese Ansaldo Energia
    • Czech/Korean Doosan Skoda
    • German/Russian Nukem

    The 44% Chinese part of Ansaldo and the 100% Russian ownership of Nukem is probably not doing either company any favors. That leaves you with Doosan Skoda and Framatome. Considering a nuclear reactor project isn’t build in less than a decade, and given the choice between a company that has built several modern reactors and a company that is first in line for a visit from dear old uncle Vlad and haven’t commissioned a reactor in 22 years, I’d say that the French is the best bet.

    So that the French built the reactor is only logical. That it got delayed to the extreme, that’s just what happens when you don’t buy a reactor of the rack.


  • Ah yes, our fearsome Danish roaches - the mighty Germanic cockroach, terror of the Nordic regions! These tiny warriors measure a mere 13mm, but their aggressive nature more than makes up for it. If left unchecked, they’ll conduct midnight drills in your attic, their tiny jackboots keeping you awake all night. And you better watch out - your whole family could succumb to carbon monoxide poisoning when they fire up their miniature Panzer divisions for their annual invasion of Poland.

    To be honest though, I actually had to research cockroaches in Denmark because I’ve never heard of anyone having problems with them here.


  • What are you trying to achieve?

    You need to be on the same network as the next hop (ie router), otherwise you can’t communicate with it. That means that either your ISP or your VPN provider, will have to have the same prefix.

    In a matter of “asking” for an IPv6 address, ie using DHCPv6, I don’t think most ISPs do this. Hopefully your ISP just hands you a GUA prefix through SLAAC, meaning you’ll do a Router Discovery broadcast when enabling IPv6 on your host interface, you’ll get a Router Advertisement back, and from that you get the prefix. With the prefix in hand you generate the last 64bits either randomly or through EUI64 (if privacy isn’t your thing).

    When I say hopefully, it’s because at least one of my possible ISPs insists on DHCPv6 with a ridiculously short lease time. Or at least that’s what the customer rep said before I ran away.
