David hacked our clocks, and we laughed. And then we cried. Hacking NTP is far too easy.

Want to know how easy? David wrote you a how-to.

Saw this Xfinity generator to power some neighborhood internet service provider hardware today and started fretting that maybe today's storm is going to be worse than I thought. So far not too windy, though, which is the big power outage risk around here.

Google is involved in two new subsea cables, Bulikula and Halaihai, connecting Fiji, Guam, French Polynesia in the central Pacific Ocean. Geographic resilience of these underwater internet communication conduits is steadily increasing. https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/infrastructure/introducing-bulikula-and-halaihai-subsea-cables-to-connect-the-central-pacific

China has a new cable-laying ship almost as big as an aircraft carrier for networking, offshore wind turbines, etc. 10,000-ton payload, good for 75km of AC power line, 150km of DC power line, or 2000km of fiber-optic cable. It can install cables 4.5m deep under the seafloor.

I stopped writing about the IPv6 transition years ago once it seemed like things were in hand. Evidently there are still bugs in the system, like Google Workspace rejecting some emails sent from Microsoft Outlook as spam. https://support.google.com/mail/thread/207539747/office365-mail-rejected-when-sent-via-ipv6

I had a lot of fun on this podcast — much more time to dig into the details, like climate change, how to repair a severed cable, and some of the geopolitics of subsea cables.
