I disabled my Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel for now, because it was breaking Netflix and Tumblr. Netflix assumes that the existence of any tunnel means you’re trying to bypass regional content restrictions, and Tumblr because browsers prefer IPv6 when it’s offered, but the tunnel simply can’t handle the massively-parallel image-loading of a typical endlessly-scrolling cheesecake tumblr.

It was an interesting experiment that came in handy when I went to set up a test IPv6 config at work, and I can get native IPv6 at home now just by asking, but there’s really no point. I have a static /29, so until they pry it out of my cold, dead hands, there’s no benefit to me.

I’m linking to the Asahi Shinbun’s coverage rather than the more “excitable” story I first saw from The Daily Mail. Short version: a former employee at a home for the disabled went in with a knife and killed at least 19 patients, wounding many more. There’s already a Wikipedia page linking to random news stories about it, which strikes me as rather voyeuristic.

[Update: five months ago, he sent a polite letter to the government announcing his detailed plans and asking for official support. It’s not clear from the stories whether he wrote the letter and then got fired when the police investigated, or got fired first.]

…throw out a lure!

Glamour photographers often get caught up in all the makeup, styling, wardrobe, set decoration, posing, and editing, and forget that all you really need is a pretty girl and a smile. Or four.
