Of course they read. Do you think those ticked tock subtitles are going to read themselves when they “do their own research”?

I think a conversation about Hannah Montana Linux could be quite entertaining.

That looks welcoming.

Without going into much detail about my experiences, it turns out this scenario stemmed from them being bipolar. Anecdotally, when they got diagnosed and treated, this behavior stopped and they were able to express frustration without going full manic. (I don’t fully understand bipolar’isms that well myself, btw.)

It’s OK for someone to be frustrated. It’s OK for someone to get mad at you on occasion. It is not OK to be yelled at for hours over something absolutely trivial.

Don’t jump to any conclusions if you are in a similar situation. The person may actually be abusive!

Any experienced mixing engineer should be able to tell. Here is your flea whisperer.

I don’t want to go so far as to tell you how to think, but as long as we are talking about how to visualize IP addresses, you may want to check out subnets and subnet masking.

The notation of IP addresses starts to make sense when you think about the early days of TCP/IP when all IP addresses were public and NAT’ing wasn’t really required yet. Basically, there needed to be ways for networks to filter traffic by IP blocks that were applicable. (It was [in part] a precursor to collision avoidance, but absolutely not the full story.) We still use addressing and masking today, but it’s more obvious when it’s local. (Like in data centers, where it’s super practical to mask off a block of addresses for a row or rack of servers.)

To your point, yeah. IP addresses are probably more comparable to the Dewey Decimal System rather than actual numbers and thinking of them as strings is probably easier.

255

Small correction, but an important one: 0 is a number too.

In terms of IP masking and broadcast addresses, the max is 255.255.255.255

For those who are still confused, ping works with 32 bit unsigned integers. While there certainly are more uses, it’s a much more convenient method for storing IP address in a database as it’s easier to sort and index than 4 numbers separated by 4 periods

Let me check…

Sorry to say, we found your name on the list of cool people! High five!

Lemmy.world is weird about posting grow pics. Dig around to about the start of my post history for pics about how grows are done on a moderate scale.

I get my strains from Denver Spore Company. (It’s googlable, again, not posting direct links cause .world is weird like that.)

Depends on the strain and you. On average, between 1/4 gram and 1 gram dried for me to get a decent buzz, but if I want to visit another universe, +5 grams or so. (Warning: “breakthrough” doses are no joke. It’s full emersion and your visual cortex is kinda useless for a couple of hours. It’ll just nope-out in a geometric maze for a bit. For the inexperienced, this is also potential psychosis territory.)

I don’t drink anymore, which was kinda the goal. There isn’t really a need for me to go high dosage anymore and haven’t in a year or more. Even my low altitude orbits are limited to once every other month or so now.

Neither am I. However, I have seen one or two people on ca that claim it’s an instance “for Canadians”, but that isn’t the majority view.

Canadian news is mild compared to other instances and their admins rock. They just did some good hardware updates and the instance is fairly reliable. 10/10, would recommend. The author of my client (Connect) is also on that instance, and I contribute a bit to that community as well.

I could see some downsides if the occasional post in French would piss you off.

.ca is a bit more sane and not as authoritarian as .world or .ml. I don’t mind .world, but their admins are inconsistent, IMO

I am confused now. I was just called a “leftist Nazi” and “liberal right wing nazi”. Lulz.

My point is that I think the terms “leftist” and “liberal” have been redefined again, just as a heads up.

Many (not all) ml users are fairly rabid when it comes to their own flavor of propaganda. If you ever casually chat with them on Lemmy, just understand that they have a completely different world view so don’t mention things related to politics, country borders, history, government structure, major battles during WW2, sparrow populations or what color the sky is and you should be fine.

Wustite, ferrous oxide, is black. FeO.

Typical rust, usually found as hematite, is Fe2O3 and is red/brown. Also an iron oxide.

Magnetite is also another black iron oxide, Fe3O4.

There are quite a few other flavors of iron and oxygen too.
