He indeed used to speak about him in the third person and would casually say "Alain Delon did this" (instead of "I did this"). He was widely mocked for it but he claimed it was a sign of "humility" (?!) because it was a way to avoid using "I" or "me"...
He became a huge international star in 1960 with Purple Noon, the first (of many) adaptations of Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley. He was 25 and from that moment onward was recognized the world over as the sexiest and most handsome man alive. He continued to work with some of the most acclaimed European directors and starred in over 80 movies.
It's probably difficult to handle that level of fame and stardom if you're not prepared for it (or even if you are).
I even had a teacher in the States who referred to herself in the third person, so it had been a thing there too, but she (~1915?) was from a generation before Delon (1935).
However in Cologne, to my big surprise, trams, despite running in the streets and in a real maze of crossings underground, manage to always be on time when I use them. S-Bahns on the other hand, seldom are...
Stadtbahns use the "U" sign for U-Bahn when only part of their network is underground; I guess this is to avoid confusing riders.
You might have been lucky. The "metro" in Cologne is notoriously unreliable, to the point that there's even a word "KVB minutes" to explain why sometimes the train will be arriving in 2 minutes for about 10 minutes.
> Is there even a legitimate use for a public TXT record for corporate devices?
Assuming there isn't and blocking them will break applications. I realized my local resolver validates DNSSEC when I went to a place that did not forward RRSIGs, making me unable to access the Internet over there.
This. There's a choice regarding data identifying you that's made by someone who's not you.
I'm also thinking of 2FA things many corporations mandate, requiring the use of a phone number, application or both, without them handing you a work phone. Under no circumstances will I give my personal phone number to Google or Microsoft because I don't want them to link my work and personal stuff. Right now, I'm locked out of a corporate account at Google due to such refusal.
Unless it's security by obscurity, releasing the source code of the entire infrastructure should never result in all systems becoming compromised. So, assuming the API is run over HTTPS with authentication tokens, Chamberlain wouldn't need to (and should under no circumstances) release its SSL certificates' private keys. Instead, the firmware and server infrastructure should be easily modified by the user to point to their own servers (or get rid of intermediate servers and directly be usable on the local network, which is the only good solution anyway).
The only barrier for me to go IPv6-only is those VPS that are provided with a single /128 IPv6, and I do not know of a service that would offer IPv6 tunneling other than HE, that requires an IPv4 endpoint. The day I get a full /48 or /64 with my VPSes, I'm ready to drop IPv4.
Does your VPS assign you multiple ipv4 addresses? Otherwise seems like feature parity.
I use ipv6 everywhere, but I get annoyed when some features are missing.
For example, OVH won't let me transfer an IPv6 prefix like they do for IPv4. I thought I could just migrate my VMs to another box, but one of them had lots of clients with their own DNS/domains, so it was a huge pain to update.
Not having to ask the public facing IP address of some NAT-performing router is one of the good sides of IPv6. I'm wondering what uses there are of such a service, besides dynamic DNS updates, that would need automated queries and result in such an overwhelming amount of traffic...
