  • Right ?! Networking is voodoo witchcraft.

    I was bored and decided to actually read wtf the deal is with IPv6 since my ISP gave it but never bother to know more.

    All my devices can reach the ipv6 internet without me touching it, so I thought at least I could learn how to replicate my pretty simple lab but with v6.

    3 days later I still have no clue how to assign static addresses properly. What do you mean each device have multiple addresses?? Android (google) didn’t support dhcpv6? Wtf is SLAAC ?

    The DHCPv6 on Android Soap Opera as they called it, pretty fun read.

    Also the folks at IPv6 sub seem to be majority professional because they can actually parse the RFC spec and treated it like mandatory Ed. Pretty nice and welcoming comm all thing considered.

    It’s a whole rabbit hole and I still don’t know if my IPv6 is good IPv6 or not, and with bottom of the barrel equipment looking for guide is a pain. IPv6 content in general is pretty sparse even within the self hosting comms.



  • The simplest would be renting a VPS I think.

    I grabbed an Oracle free-tier many moons ago. The x86 one with 4 gig of memory I think? The arm have a much more core and memory but unless you go with Pay As You Go (PAYG) account ( need a one time refundable $100 credit) it’s virtually impossible to grab it.

    My free tier account is sufficient as pure VPN for accessing stuff, you get 10 TB/month egress traffic. The downside is it’s Oracle, and you are at their mercy ( they can purge it without notice )

    I never tried it because CGNAT but maybe Dynamic DNS could also solve this.

    Other than that, Tailscale / CF tunnel etc are a fine solution ( for now )


  • Well, I read the title and the only thing popped up is Chester.

    I always shrugged off celebrity deaths cuz it never affects me before. But that morning my then SO woke me up and I’m in dazed cuz teens me just full of angst lol and how he did it after just released One More Light is too much, I think I avoid listening to LP for a few years after that. It’s also after Cornell did it not long before I think? AFAIK they’re Godfathers to each other kids.

    I think contrary to what generally believe LP lyrics all are Mike’s. But understandable since Chester is the one actually sung it. don’t think LP would be this big if they didn’t have Chester, the band said so themselves (the label want to get rid of Chester at first but they pushed back).

    I just wished Mike would just rename the band like Audioslaves did and leave LP as a legacy. Don’t get me wrong Emily is badass.





  • Backward bycicle, SmarterEveryday.

    I’ve done this with guitar on my early 20s. I’m righty and one day just decided to locked-in like Destin did to see what would happen. And like him it got to the point where something’s flipped and I could strum open/barre chord comfortably but didn’t get too far with melody though, picking hand is by miles much more awkward, orienting and holding the pick the right way is much more precise control than I thought. I could do decent enough legato to fool non-player.

    Then I stopped for a week and it’s just gone, I didn’t become ambidextrous.


  • Configurability? I mean Truenas Scale is also based on Debian, but it’s an appliance software, if you want NAS it’s purpose made for that. You need to configure Debian yourself if you want functioning NAS.

    I still remember when TN doesn’t have native Tailscale apps/docker yet and everytime there’s a Truenas update I need to reinstall and set up Tailscale from scratch.

    If you just need a NAS with basic apps/docker, there is no reason to just use Truenas.

    I use both, but run a Technitium DNS and Frigate on bare Debian.





  • https://xkcd.com/2501 to some extent.

    Yeah, Linux user can/willing to read instructions that (the important part IMO) unfamiliar to them, that’s like not what average user would do.

    Most users know how to install something on Windows, they’ve used it since they were toddler and whether or not you think it’s a better experience in Linux is irrelevant.

    Most software they need in Windows has a giant download button on the respective site, double click the downloaded file and you’re done.

    99% of the time you can immediately start the program or there will be a shortcut on the desktop.

    Also, gaming. Like it or not it is a casual workload, and it’s not as straightforward on Linux.
