Yeah, I guess my router just decided on an ULA prefix on its own. Thank you for providing the right terminology and explaining how a host gets these addresses.

I don’t think unique local addresses require manual configuration. On linux at least, I get an fe80:: address derived from the interface’s MAC address even if there it can’t find any router. If the host receives a router advertisement, it will add a local address (the same suffix as the fe80 but with a fd8b:something::/64) and the “internet” 2003::.

I’m not an expert and this may be just the configuration of my router, but all my linux installs automatically got these three addresses without manual configuration or issues.

Clarification: the “it” in the second sentence was referring to “blocklist/allowlist” specifically, not “main”

Of course the name “master” in the git context may mean something completely different from slavery or similar, but the possibility of misinterpretation is IMO another (maybe small) reason that new projects should consider using the clear and unambiguous “main” instead of “master”.

Even if the word’s origins aren’t racism, I hope you can see why having a blacklist with “bad” things on it that won’t be allowed and a whitelist with “good” things that are allowed maybe isn’t the friendliest terminology. (especially when there are more intuitive names available that avoid this problem)

I think it’s the same with blacklist/whitelist -> blocklist/allowlist. It allowlist/blocklist actually says what it does in the name without using the idea of racism and white supremacy. I wish more software would just use these terms by default. (maybe some aliases for the old names)
