I have no problem with this. Carry on.

I am officially tired of seeing this article. I've blocked half a dozen people/bots reposting it. Doesn't help. Perfectly innocent morons are reposting it too.

“The dumbest person you know is currently being told ‘You’re absolutely right!’ by ChatGPT.”

We want to ruin your life too.

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

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.

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.

This seems like reasonable advice. You don't see that often.

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-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.

I want to read the 9front dev interview. No, really.

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

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...

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 ...

Up all the wrong places. Way up there.

Every cell phone and a shit-ton of IoT runs on IPv6. There's a lot of phones out there. I bet you even have one, no? You are using IPv6 right now.

But if you really want to know why, first learn how to count in binary. It's gonna be much harder than you expected.
Then learn how to count in hex. Boy, that's fun.
Now convert them back and forth. Yay, what a good time!

This is a byte. Starting from the right, each place doubles. No, its not backwards, it just feels that way.
1111 1111
128 | 64 | 32 | 16 | 8 | 4 | 2 | 1
Add up the places. You can write any number from 0 to 255 this way.

You've seen that 255 number a lot. Maybe this dotted decimal notation will look familiar.
255.255.255.0
For this number (a subnet mask) each of the first three positions is maxed out, and zero is ... zero.

Let's write it in binary.
1111 1111 . 1111 1111 . 1111 1111 . 0000 0000
Does your head hurt yet? It will.

Now let's convert it to hex.
Ya you got it. It's base-16 integers. So you hit 10 and start counting in alpha.
0 0
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 9
10 A
11 B
12 C
13 D
14 E
15 F

This is a nibble. It's half a byte. Ya, that's a little funny some nerd farted out one day.
1 1 1 1
8 | 4 | 2 | 1
The max value of a nibble is ... 15.
And 15 is ... F

Split the byte into nibbles. Convert the two nibbles to hex.
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
(15) (15)
FF

So let's do the whole subnet mask.
255.255.255.0
1111 1111 . 1111 1111 . 1111 1111 . 0000 0000
(15) (15) . (15) (15) . (15) (15) . (0) (0)
FF:FF:FF:00

And that, my friend, is some of the very simplest hex math you are likely to see.
In order to convert it from a number you understand, you have to run through binary, chop it in half, and recreate it as hex.
It gets much more complex than this, and that's just basic numerical manipulation.

This is already too long, and I haven't even written an IPv6 number yet.
We are just managing single digits here.

Why don't people like IPv6? Well, its hard.

Hmm. Interesting. But I act as if my actions are completely public in all places in Lemmy.
Really. I've been using this nick for 35 years. I've published a few things.
Wouldn't be too hard to track me down and make my life hell. It would be best if that doesn't happen.
I don't hold back with my feedback to idiots online, but I avoid crusaders, and carefully consider my downvotes.

LOL. Thanks! :]
It wasn't that tall. Only about a month. But it was a lot.
It's been a month since my bro and his gal came over for BBQ. I think that's what the mold was eating.

Confirmed.

I was hoping for more of this ... the mighty Dash1.
