this is true if you’re analyzing people who have already wholeheartedly and consciously accepted the ruling ideology. but when they haven’t, it kind of doesn’t apply. propaganda can entice people to disregard their rationality when they materially benefit from believing it. but it doesn’t mean rationality plays no part in it.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

have you tried giving them tiny ant-sized balls

was that comment written in 1996

are there quintillions of states

you’ll never believe this

i don’t use ubiquiti, but the only thing you need to do with your firewall to get better-than-NAT security is allow only outgoing connections/disallow incoming connections. usually on consumer routers that’s the default setting anyway or there’s a checkbox to that effect.

i’ve done both ipv4 and v6, but never embedded. from my perspective, ipv6 addresses can be easier to remember and use, with a little clever arrangement of zeros and especially because they’re hexadecimal. that’s in addition to the way more elegant way the protocol itself handles various things. obviously not worth upgrading systems that don’t even need dhcp, but that applies to a lot of things in that field

you can if you make it mostly zero

is a /56 not enough address space for your home network

however, a post about the inner workings of figma, a technology company, is tech.

do you think that the political decisions of tech companies aren’t intimately tied to the tech itself? you are lucky to have a corner of the globe where you are able to ignore politics. unless you’re on your deathbed right now, that won’t last.

if the price is close to the amount of cash i have on me then i might. usually sales tax is around 7-10% so if i’m in a place where it’s higher that gets annoying.

like i guess but linux has such high enterprise usage already that idk what it brings to the table for the free software people. if they didn’t have their own bespoke DE maybe that, but as far as i can tell the only thing chromeos brings that the enterprise guys don’t is consumer hardware support

idk i’m not here to be a downer but it seems like counting chromeos kind of dilutes the open-source surge part of the headline yk? like obviously it counts as a linux but i wouldn’t call anything google-made libre at the very least.

just dominate them bro

all due respect, you have no clue what you’re talking about. choosing what to honor in the current day has nothing to do with “revisionist history” or “removing data points”. not when they’re making statues and not when they’re naming galaxies. leave that shit to the museums.
