What is the deal with IPv6?

Reply in thread

When IPv6 was created, NAT technologies had not yet really developed yet. That development stretched out the utility of IPv4 and allowed it to be perfectly sufficient even today. Back then, you bought a public IP for every node on your network. Seems crazy now, because you can put an entire enterprise behind one IP.

IPv6 was created to allow that same provisioning concept of every node having a public IP. Well, we don't really need that anymore. So we relegate IPv6 usage to machines like cell phones, but if a human has to utilize the address, we give em an IPv4.

Why is the herd mentality so common on Lemmy?

Reply in thread

I started a thread about lemvotes some time back.
Several people went to look up their own post histories, and one guy offered the most unique insight.
Apparently in this Lemmy client on his phone, he was clicking a button to make posts 'go away' after he read them.
Well after looking up his own vote history, this guy realized he's been downvoting everything he reads, all the time. That was not a 'go away' button.
After reading this guy's confused bullshit with the voting buttons, I came to realize that there are innumerable reasons for why people vote, and it may not at all be what you think.

ReactOS "Open-Source Windows" Reaches The Milestone Of Being Able To Run Half-Life

ReactOS-0.4.15-release-1-x86.iso

Got it to install on Promxox 9.2.
PowerEdge R230 ... CPU(s) 8 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 v6 @ 3.80GHz

It's 32-bit.
It wouldn't install until I used these settings. (only) 1cpu. (only) 2gb. IDE drive. SeaBIOS. i440fx machine.
It did boot. Failed to install device drivers. It did get online. Hehehe. Floppy disks controllers. Wine Internet Explorer.

Installed LZDoom/Freedoom using Applications Manager. It ran.

I don't know. The OS runs. Interesting.

Because what could possibly go wrong with this quality-of-life upgrade?

Well, that's a right-side door, viewed from the inside.
The curve of the door and window (that you can't roll down) could account for the apparent size ... you know, if this were a real pic.

But mirror is absolutely on the wrong side. Total AI glitch there.

And the door itself, being a right-side door, is not gonna work for American driving ... again, if this were a real thing and had a real road system it's intended to work for.

Fear not, folks. There's no gas line to the engine. This vehicle is going nowhere.
And how da fuq is your car gonna run on that small of a gas tank? Even after they fix the gas line, it sure won't go far.
