  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    TranscriptFalse meme image that says "bad news ipv4 fans. linus torvalds has announced removing ipv4 support from the linux kernel after the maintainers of the network stack got into a fight over WHAT KIND OF HRT gives the best results. this incident will impact 5 billion people and will make 95% of all network equipment on Earth binnable." with fake screenshots of the linux kernel mailing list a girl calling another one a slur from 4chan over HRT choices and Linus Torvalds saying he will drop IPv4 support and asking the maintainers to learn to shut the fuck up.

    Can we just treat this as real? Post it everywhere. You know in a sort of "alternative facts" / flat earth sort of way. So maybe the planet finally moves on from ipv4.

    I tried IPv6 only (with NAT64) and Steam didn't work because it had IPv4 addresses hardcoded :(

    I'm ignorant enough that I didn't realize this wasn't actually happening until I read the comments. My networking knowledge is piss poor haha.

    Don't worry about the network side of things. It's open source. Before they turn everything on its head would be forked and it would be replaced.

    If you don't use IPv6, you are behind. For me the transition was so hard, it's a big step behind me, wouldn't want to do it again.

    I still remember my network lecturer telling us how IPv6 was the future and how we were running out of IPs back in... 1997.

    That same year, during my work placement, I was introduced to Squid and all sorts of network fuckery to compensate for those supposedly disappearing IPs.

    A major ISP in the UK still doesn’t have any IPv6 support :( https://www.havevirginmediaenabledipv6yet.co.uk/

    [–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

    I wonder if that site pings an IPv6 address on the virgin network and updates the output automatically based on the ping result.

    [–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 6 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

    I still don't have an IPv6 address over 4G with Vodafone. I want to run a web server on my phone, isn't this a normal use case? Nat444 makes that pretty difficult, just let me use IPv6!

    That's impressive

    Scaling NAT is complex and expensive. They are literally making it harder

    Honestly I need an AI to protect my data.

    It’s too much atp

    I believed it for a moment

    You got me in the first half 😁
