That what used to be the copper exchange holding the telephony stuff
is gone already, we have MSANs (Multi Service Access Nodes) on the
curb where the fiber lines terminate and the VDSL vectoring lines
(usually just a couple of hundred meters long) branch out. VDSL
vectoring can do 250/40.

Ah, ok. Maybe we got phone calls from other companies. On foot, no.

The law says anything new must be buried. But these are old houses, and 
they are still discussing who is going to dig the street and put the 
piping. Nobody is willing, so they put the wires in the same place as 
the old wires. In our walls.

The thing is that tubes will be shared by all companies, so nobody wants 
to be the first to put the tubes and get then used by the rest, without 
paying for it.

And the council looks away.

	One reason to replace copper with fibre or fiber optical in either case
is that accessiblem lower voltage copper is being stolen from public 
facilities.
It is resold to dealers in junk and recycling.  It is a problem in Bay 
Area Cities.

We've had a rash of thefts up here too.  There's been a mention
of keeping a close eye on recycling depots to try to catch the
thieves.

The worst part is that some of the easiest copper to steal
is ground wire.  We can only hope that the thieves get zapped
before some innocent victim does.

Yes, here too, but phone copper wires are way too thin, or with lots of 
insulation, it is not profitable work.

Sometimes they steal the power wire of trains, leaving them stranded in 
the middle of nowhere.

	Some in the Bay Area have tried for less accessible and higher voltage
wires/cables in substations and have been severely injured and I believe one
was killed by the current.
	Some years back a main cable was cut for some obscure reason
down the Peninsula where it was not closely suppervized.

Why do you have to use it? Here in NY, we have cable and fiber and maybe
some other little ones I've not noticed. The fiber is about the same
price as the cable, but it does (I've heard) CGNAT so that's a
deal-breaker for me. I'm not sure of fiber support for ip6. The cable
does ip6 prefix delegation so I get an entire bank of ip6 addresses -
enough to connect everything I have that speaks ip6.

They let me do my thing, so I stay with them. Their website is
absolutely terrible and doesn't work properly with Linux much of the
time. It's almost impossible to talk to a real person to solve an issue
and you have to fix a broken internet connection with another internet
connection. Yup, it's all with mobile and text and "please visit this
link". Putting a new modem on the network used to be a matter of giving
them your HFC MAC address. This last time it took two hours and I had to
chant "cancel cancel cancel cancel" over and over to get a person that
could put the modem on the network. I think it's Charter on the backend
but their branding is Spectrum. They block Windows networking over ip4
but not ip6. Thankfully it's very rare I have to call them. My new place
did need new wiring when I moved in but now it's all set. 

If you use their voice service too, you have to use their modem else you
can use your own. They have routers, which I hear are not the best but
you do not have to use them. My Linux box *is* the router. There's
relatively little traffic on ip6.

I do sftp <hostname> and it uses IPv6. I don't even notice that.

In fact, my network is so much IPv6 in these days that _I_ usually
don't even notice for hours when IPv4 is broken.

You see, that's the thing. I don't want to do anything with all that 
information. If anything I might want to know what local address the wifi 
hotspot assigned to the device. ifconfig is fine.

The problem with Unix and subsequently Linux is that the networking 
paradigms predate the Internet, and there is stuff in there that isn't 
relevant to normal users.

Its deep magic only occasionally useful. The GUI interfaces render most 
of that stuff invisible with the usual features only, being addressed.

There are many things I accept as magic or something I'm only going to dig 
into if absolutely necessary. I wrote a couple of Windows utilities to run 
periodically and log the state of the network. Without access to 
Subversion I don't know when but it was a while back. Looking at the code 
now I must have been inspired by the Gods. It's clear how it works but I 
must have done a lot of research into the Windows API calls to get and 
interpret information. 

'I've forgotten more about XYZ than most people ever knew' is an 
unfortunate fact, not hubris.

Before I entertain the idea of reading that article, do you happen to
know if it's entirely new content or if it's just a similarly bumped
article from months ago, with or without modifications?


It's just that it wouldn't be the first time.

I'm getting ready to nominate Wallen for asshole of the year award. 
ifconfig works fine for me and I don't have to read the whole damn ip man 
page to coax the info out of it.

It is present in Linux Mint 22.3 :) I was talking to the guy who is 
running the library's Linux project. He himself has only been using Linux 
for a few months and isn't comfortable on the command line. He asked if 
there was something like 'ipconfig'.  I'm glad he didn't ask why it's 
'ifconfig'. That's been screwing me up for years.

He was also happy to find Linux has a 'hosts' file just like Windows.

   FULLY agreed ! 'ip' delivers WAY too much info in
   crappy format or with lots or really weird CL params.
   'ifconfig' tells you what you usually need to know
   and can set important options easily.

   "New And Improved" often ISN'T. Too many developers
   with CompSci backgrounds now ???

   Well, Win loathes to be like Lin and vice-versa :-)

   Yep. A bit different though.

   Me, gave up Win after XP. It just got worse and
   worse and worse. HAD to do some office stuff with
   Win workstations - but HATED it. No, they were
   NOT gonna switch to Linux, could BARELY cope with
   Winders. Only ONE other guy there understood/liked
   Linux ... a Mint-o-Phile. All good. We got along well.
   I eventually moved to MX for everything - a happy
   medium with perks.

I generally agree, although "ip -brief addr" usually
gives me what I need in a concise form.

Except when M$ is playing its "embrace, extend, extinguish" games.

IMHO Windows' usability peaked somewhere between 2000 and XP,
and has been going downhill ever since.  I run a copy of XP
under VirtualBox - it still gives me what I need to develop
Windows software, since I'm mostly doing back-end stuff.

The only version of “Windows” the product available around that time
was Windows ME. Remember that the product “Windows 2000” was actually
a version of “Windows NT”, not “Windows”.

Windows NT only took over the “Windows” name with the coming of
Windows XP.

Ok, but more difficult to remember.

Buff, it even uses long params with single dash.

    ip addr help

or, for those who aren’t squeamish about man pages:

    man ip-address

(just remember you can’t abbreviate it to “ip-addr”).

All that slower than simply calling again ifconfig.
