They got you thinking it would be socialism.

No, you see, when I’m in charge, everything will be peachy! It’s the other oligarchs that are the problem.

Years ago we made fun of the concept of an Apple Car. Now everything is Apple Cars.

Do you take screenshots of all of your prompts just in case you need to litigate later?

Okay, but how do you prove any specific allegation when the responses are dynamic?

Always with the whataboutism smh my head

I moved six weeks ago. I installed my first ceiling light yesterday. The pile of todos is slowly shrinking. SLOWLY.

No matter what choice you make as a small investor, it’s the wrong one. Brokers and market makers make sure of it.

That’s some “Nobody seriously thinks Fox News is news” defense.

99% of atoms in existence are Hydrogen and Helium. And yet here we are.

Oh? Maybe I’m interested after all…

Gotta love the non testable features.

“Can we place a test call?”
“Why would you want to do THAT?”

You get paid, but you’re not allowed to come to work. You’re banned from the workplace, usually as a security/safety measure, but because of labour laws or contractual obligations they can’t stop paying you yet.

That’s why you’re usually put on garden leave immediately after being told. Or if in the US, just straight up kicked out I guess.

I mean, did they increase staff numbers proportionally to hour reduction or did they just have people go home? Because if it’s the latter, then duh.

Whenever I’ve come across mDNS it was unstable and not installed. Bonjour was distributed with iTunes and sucked (15y ago). I could see mDNS supplying additional info for a configuration tool, but the IP layer remains reliant on IPs.

What bugs me is that IPv6 has built-in neighbor discovery that almost does what mDNS does, which could just have included a hostname… It’s a replacement for ARP and only ARP.

That’s what I’m saying. Currently you copy paste if possible or read it off a screen if not. Then you carry it to a network partner. See printers and static IPs.

It’s easy once you get used to it. But yes, imo still needing to manually handle IPs is a major failure of IPv6. We recognized we needed many and therefore long addresses, but we forgot the human in the process.

One of the main issues I think is holding IPv6 back is that we keep needing to memorize IPs and type them by hand. 192.168.0.16, 172.16.0.0/12, and 10.0.0.0/8 are easy to remember, and usually it’s just the last number that’s important, anyway, because we all use 192.168.1.0/24 by default.

But then IPv6 comes along with /48 prefixes and endless numbers to read, analyze (same subnet? typos?), memorize or write down. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

IPv6 would have to integrate some sort of DNS resolver on a network level so that people can work with computer names. That would make the hostname actually relevant and not have every Windows be called DESKTOP-W38D6M5P. If you already have a separate DNS service, it’s only the registration step that has slightly more friction, but still.

E: I guess you could argue that it’s a UI problem. IPv6 has neighbor discovery and the UI can just show a list to choose from. Still no hostnames, though. Is configuration part of a layer’s responsibility?
