Exactly. You can tell someone to type a command, and ask for the output. Otherwise you’re spending 90% of your time asking someone to explain what they see, and searching for buttons that just move around from week to week.

A “per user” graph is not indiciative of the number of users, or any change in that metric. You cannot use this graph to determine any effect of the total user count.

You can’t copy and paste into a GUI, and it’s painful to help people to use them.

It’s been named “Microsoft Office” since 1990. Way to piss 35 years of brand recognition up a wall.

How drunk are these guys?

It actually runs fine. Fast loading. Full framerate. Zero glitching. Everything works as you jump off the battle bus.

Then you get kicked from the server before you hit the ground.

That’s not a Linux problem.

There’s an old Monty Python sketch from 1967 that comes to mind when people ask a librarian for a book that doesn’t exist.

They predicted the future.

I eventually figured out that the Freesytle Libre will significantly underread if you sleep on it. I would recommend doing a finger prick test before acting upon what a CGM tells you to do.

So they can’t just write some probe code? It really can’t be that hard to determine if there’s support.

You’d have to block whatever DoH server it’s using. They usually fall back to regular DNS. I’ve found that a Chromecast will use Google DNS, but will fall back to LAN DNS when blocked.

I personally submitted Hisense’s ACR servers to a popular DNS adblock list that’s used by a lot of products.

And just like that, anyone with a VIDAA TV hiding behind a pi-hole went dark.

We should really make sure every TV gets checked.

As someone running a UPS on my ubuntu server, “uptime” represents the time since the last kernel release, and not much else.

I always liked the dramatic…

I’ve never used em-dashes to represent them. Am I doing it wrong?

Optus is barely an internet connection at this point. I’m using about 10 fearures on Aussie Broadband that simply don’t exist on the Optus network.

Telstra (Australia’s largest telco) now provides IPv6-only to mobile handsets by default. They’ve deployed 464XLAT.

The main benenfit is not having to deal with NAT. You get your own address and your traffic is not conflated with other people’s.

You also get privacy extensions. Your device generates a temporary address for making outgoing connections. The address has no listening sockets. This means that you cannot get portscanned by every website you visit.

You don’t need to try and figure out your external IP address. There’s no differentiation between internal/external addresses. They’re all global, as the internet was intended.

You can throw as many IP addresses on an interface as you want. If you want to run two web servers from one machine, you can have multiple addresses with different services on port 443.

Enforcing TLS filters out a lot of spam connectikns too. Every legit provider has a cert these days.

I’ve got one, and it works well enough when offline.

If not, I could set up Home Assistant and self-host it.

It’s a shame, as Mozilla gave iRobot one of the better privacy ratings. That’s the only reason I allowed it in my house to begin with.

Whenever I ssh into it.

or, as you wrote, “steals”

Nice hallucination, clanker. Fuck off.

This is a great change. I wonder how long before the hate brigade comes along to complain.
