The Slow Death of the Power User — fireborn

@fireborn difference between my public and local IP? Well the public one starts with 2a03:c23:16f1:: and the later with fd32:b00b::!

@1millibyte @fireborn difference between a public and local IP? That is just firewall and routing rules, right? *shows you a server 250 km away to which I'm consistently connecting using ULAs*

OK, you got me, link-local addresses are maaaybe not public (and site-local, if you accidentally remember). Still don't understand what you don't like about my fe80::449f:c3ff:fea8:a7b4 :-)

@ledoian @fireborn ye local to what. I also access my ULAs from distance, but if the site is not physically local but in terms of overlay network hmm
