Hardware Home Button

Explanation/Alt text: The tuxedo Winnie the Pooh meme showing more and more abstract representation of "home".

  1. The literal word "Home"
  2. 127.0.0.1, the IP address of your current device
  3. ~/, the Unix home directory
  4. A Nintendo Switch RCM clip, which is used to short pin 1 and 10 of the Joycon railing in order to enter recovery mode (RCM) for softmodding. The pin 1 and 10 combination is known as the "hardware home button"

They still do; at least on the iPhone 12, there are three buttons: power, volume up, and volume down. Bonus: there is also a toggle switch for silent mode.

That toggle switch for silent mode can be configured for other button presses too, it defaults to the silence thing but can be used for other stuff.

I kinda miss the physical toggle one from back in the day, had a satisfying click.

The buttons I am referring to are on the sides of the phone and are physical buttons.

I'm not, and I'll never give it up on any network i control. It's simple, easy to remember, i don't personally need 255 ip addresses so ipv4 space is just fine for me. And i don't need my devices to be individually addressable globally i can port forward if something needs to be accessed externally.

IPv6 makes sense at the carrier level but at the endpoint networks especially just for homes there is literally nothing wrong with ipv4

From the home network standpoint what good is having IPv6 on WAN if you don’t have IPv6 internally? One of the main selling points is not having to put up with the bullshit we all know as NAT — it’s weird you’d actively go against having it internally.

It just creates unnecessary complication. It's not particularly memorable, it's a pain to even just lookup tye syntax imo compared with v4, and I genuinely do not see the benefit at the home level to getting rid of NAT. Carrier and backhaul? Oh yeah nat is a fucking plague. But home level? Literally causes no issues it's trivial to work with, 98% of people do not need ports forwarded ever. Those that do it's not hard. IPV6 necessitates more careful control of a firewall now that every device is globally reachable and means that it won't even make opening a service any easier. It's just firewall instead of NAT forward which on most routers will more or less be the same process

6to4 exists and could handle translation of the backhaul 6 to a local 4. Only the router itself need be directly addressable imo.

This has made my Hannah Montana Linux run significantly faster. Just make sure to reboot uiu5 machine, everyone!

unless you're using your pc as your router that's not really the same thing
