    Arch Linux

    Unless you’re on a good downstream like SteamOS, I’d suggest switching to something stable cutting edge (Fedora or Nobara if you want to put in zero effort).

    Arch by itself will give you way the hell too many possible problems. You could waste hours on DKMS alone.

    Mint will also work, but it has the downside of having slower updates to software packages.

    I’m waiting for the day someone wears a tinfoil hat specifically to protect only their head from beta radiation from something stupid like a pile of slightly radioactive rocks from a mine.

    It would just be so funny to demonstrate an actual use, but not care about covering the test of your body lol.


  • I got banned from the Kraken crypto exchange after waiting a year for them to approve me and after providing all my IRL credentials.

    Told me I was banned, never to come back, and that they were going to report my fraud attempt to the authorities. Of course they refused to tell me what they thought I did, which didn’t make any sense because all I had been able to do was make an account and make a verification request.

    Never really even looked at crypto again beyond mining dogecoin for fun.

    This central idea is why I hate dune.

    Having a so called prophesied savior capable of insane things coming from a distant royal family of some space empire is too stupid to believe in.

    You can’t be both the underdog and the king at the same time, especially when your own supporters treat themselves as expendable.





  • The hardware and firmware supports it and we have inter protocol solutions to handle edge cases.

    The problem is that when the Ipv4 addresses actually ran out, ICANN realized that a metric ton of them were in use because people, especially businesses, were not using NATing.

    ICANN (ARIN) slowly grabbed the addresses back, and NATing became the standard so no one really cared that much anymore because the amount of public addresses actually needed was significantly reduced.

    Other things like SPN, updates to SSL, and various other address sharing technologies reduced the need for individual public ipv4 addresses even further.

    There’s still a shortage and a wait list to get new addresses, but it’s not critical so people don’t have that much of an incentive to switch to ipv6.







  • I don’t get why people think this idea is equivalent to stuff like internet access bans or COPPA, it’s a warning label, not an “enter your ID” to access page.

    They never banned cigarettes, but putting a giant warning on the box did help in vilifying cigarettes as very unhealthy and wrong.

    I doubt it’ll go anywhere in this age of government, but its exactly the type of thing I would have gone for if I were tasked with solving a societal issue. It’s smart because it has no real effect on access, so social media companies would have a harder time fighting it, but it also gives a big bloody warning which does have a substantial psychological impact on users.

    iirc someone did something similar with a very simple “are you sure?” app that gave a prompt asking if you were sure you wanted to post something or send a text. Just having a single prompt was enough for many people to reconsider their stupid text or comment.
