I washed my dishes! Life has been grim lately. They had stacked up. Kitchen is clean now. And maybe I feel a bit better.

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.

if you blow into it, it'll work again
I hate those fukin things. What a lousy system. They get jammed up, impossible to remove from the expensive gear they've been plugged into. They all seem to eventually go fukin dead for no fukin reason at all. Touchy motherfukers. Fukin hate em.

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.

Donald Trump abdicates as leader of the free world
Ok, this skewers the American downfall properly, but it goes on to suck another politician's dick.
Maybe Mark Carney is really as cool as this guy says, but he's a politician, and as such almost certainly guilty of some con or another. As a whole, this piece reads like it was put out by Carney's PR dept.

The Feed Is Fake - That “viral” song, movie, meme, influencer, and celebrity drama was probably the product of a stealth marketing campaign.
It seems that this is more of the 'clipping' deal. I avoid video clips. They've gotten so horrible.
To the folks concerned that lemmy is manipulated or even dead ... we ain't big enough to be concerned about.
If lemmy was truly successful, we would see more if this crap. Mostly, we don't. Because we are nothing.

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.

'A Voice That Upholds the Conscience of the World': Spain Honors Francesca Albanese for Efforts to Stop Gaza Genocide | Common Dreams
Mostly I hear about Spain's issues with migrant boats and folks are outraged. It sounds pretty rough.
So, I looked that up. No recent articles. Instead I see this:
Spain approves plan to give around 500,000 undocumented migrants legal status

White House to host mass prayer event to promote Christian origins of the US, wants everyone to pray tomorrow
I'm so atheist that I find even discussing it asinine. It's odd to me that a grown adult could hold any other opinion, and I'd rather keep pretending that I'm surrounded by grown adults. So I don't discuss it at all. And then shit like this comes along ...

O RYL? :]
What distro would you recommend?
What do you think should be done about unbelievers?
After all, those who have strayed from the one true path must be dealt with...
