I use IPv6 exclusively for my homelab. The pros:

• No more holepunching kludge with solutions like ZeroTier or Tailscale, just open a port and you are pretty much good to go.

• The CGNAT gateway of my ISP tends to be overloaded during the holiday seasons, so using IPv6 eliminates an unstability factor for my lab.

• You have a metric sh*t ton of addressing space. I have assigned my SSH server its own IPv6 address, my web server another, my Plex server yet another, … You get the idea. The nice thing here is that even if someone knows about the address to my SSH server, they can’t discover my other servers through port scanning, as was typical in IPv4 days.

• Also, because of the sheer size of the addressing space, people simply can’t scan your network.

Assuming the entire US court system isn’t in the corporate pocket

I love your optimism

I still don’t quite get why some people are defending manufacturers which remove the headphone jack on their phones…

3.5mm jacks don’t cost much materially. Removing it doesn’t bring any benefit at all, and you are forced to buy a bluetooth headphone or a Type-C-to-3.5mm dongle on top of that.

It’s not a fork of wlroots. wlroots is a library to assist developers in creating Wayland compositors.

Lots of social medias require a phone number nowadays. If you don’t add a phone number, at best they annoy you everyday to “secure your account”, at worst you can’t even login.

It sucks.

Not nearly as performant as either Java or COBOL.

For what it’s worth, there’s XWaylandVideoBridge now which can allow screen sharing on XWayland applications.

Any “X11 vs Wayland” discussion will eventually devolve into a fight beteeen diehard X11 fans and diehard Wayland fans, lol.

I still won’t buy one just because of this news - they have done lots, lots of shitty things in the past. GameWorks, PhysX, Geforce Partnership Program, etc. While AMD is not exactly a saint when it comes to open sourcing, they still commit far more than Nvidia to open standards.

Debian is my go-to distro whenever stability is desired.

I use Arch btw (on my desktop), but I would never run it on my server… I feel that I could easily ruin my database (Postgres) if I am not careful enough with the rolling release.

Rosetta certainly does emulate* x86. It can dynamically recompile x86 instructions to ARM instructions, otherwise applications that include an x86 JIT wouldn’t work at all on ARM Macs.

* I know people will be pedantic about this… but other emulators (Dolphin, PCSX2 etc) have included a recompiler for ages and no one seemed to have a problem calling them emulators.

You say that, but people already got Stardew Valley to work on RISCV Linux!

Note that it is a link to Reddit. The post is made by the Box64 developer though, that’s why I linked it.

People are running KDE desktop on the VisionFive 2.

Arch Linux has had a RISC-V port for quite a while now - FYI, just in case you don’t know, Felix (the guy running the website I linked) is one of the Arch Linux package maintainers.

All of East Asia use the same format.

Maybe…

It gets less funny if 80% of the comments are missing the sarcasm/joke though. It can happen even when the sarcastic remark is obvious (usually because the first reply took it seriously, which set the trend for the subsequent discussions)

That’s why I put a /joke or /s mark preemptively in my comments.

You might hate the /s, but it’s really easy for peolple to miss the sarcasm (no matter how obvious it is!) when everything is in text.
