- Comment on I tried living entirely on IPv6 for a day, and here's what happened 1 week ago:
It boils down to cost: who’s going to do all the engineering work to re-IP a business, and that without considering lost productivity.
6 is great for the backbone, to relieve the pressure on IPv4. But I have zero need of v6 inside my flat network with a handful of machines.

Yea, a 26 year old can’t stay up past 9?
I couldn’t fall asleep before midnight at that age.

Boomer?
Every millenial’s phone I’ve seen has a million notifications.
It’s weird to me.

Again, it wasn’t just a weak password, it was a whole list of things they did wrong.

And I think it’s wrong that people expect me to!
- Comment on Anon is Illiterate 2 weeks ago:
Not only is he trying, he laments not learning better when he was younger. Great self-awareness, and taking ownership today.

The Southpark Giny Tingle (from “The Ring” episode, if I remember right).
- Comment on can't unsee it 3 weeks ago:
Daddy Issues isn’t the same as “marrying your mother”.
I’ve always heard the former was about having a poor relationship with your father, and the latter about whatever your maternal relationship was like, good or bad.
- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 3 weeks ago:
Lol that tiny ass solar setup ain’t charging both a laptop and a phone, least of all with them running.
That can just barely charge a phone (source - I’ve done a lot of math around this, solar panels have very low output per square meter).
- Comment on How does a guy become his most confident around women? 3 weeks ago:
Same way you do around men: know yourself, own yourself, your goals, your actions, etc.

- Comment on The Astronomer CEO's Coldplay Concert Fiasco Is Emblematic of Our Social Media Surveillance Dystopia | 404 Media 3 weeks ago:
It was on the jumbotron - surely one or two of the thousands of people at the show knew who it was.
Assuming this was discovered via “Social Media Surveillance” is a leap, and a weak argument about such surveillance.
Again, this was on the jumbotron. Stuff on the jumbotron has made the media circles since the advent of the jumbotron.

Ewww, Vista.
That’s like stepping in something nasty
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 3 weeks ago:
It’ll eventually be anything those in power deem contrary to their agenda.
And people still clamor for a cashless society, when such issues are already obvious.

- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 4 weeks ago:
No one wants the ugliness of a war over NK, but everyone wants their natural resources, estimated to be one of the largest deposit of minerals in the world.
- Comment on 'Autofocus' specs promise sharp vision, near or far - BBC News 4 weeks ago:
The thing is that with progressive bifocals, and the right size lense, this is rarely an issue, as you choose the focus you need by simply moving your eyes and head. When setup properly I rarely need to move my head at all for normal day-to-day stuff, as we naturally put what we’re viewing in the center of our vision.
For example, when looking far, we tend to look upward more, so naturally use the upper portion of a lense. When on a computer or reading, we tend to look downward. Driving is a great example, we look forward and up while driving, down to see the dash, and progressives cover that with no problem.
The only time I run into “problems” is when doing really close work for an extended period, like stuff inches from my face. But for those times, I just switch to readers only while I’m doing that work.
- Comment on Decoded a QO-100 BPSK1000 Transmission today with FLdigi, here are its contents (german and english): 4 weeks ago:
This makes it accessible to stations with handheld antennas such as the Arrow antenna.
Wow. Just, WOW
Imagine having this on other (I assume) LEO satellites as a tertiary payload.
A satellite repeater that’s handheld accessible.
- Comment on Alpha Male Primates a Myth, Researchers Find in New Study 4 weeks ago:
Lol.
Has this study been replicated, and what’s the definition of “Alpha” they’re using.
Hate to have to ask the replication question, since it’s such a fundamental element of science, but the rampant p-hacking forces it to be asked anymore. Plus upwards of 80% of research in the psychology world is unreliable, and this falls within that realm.
Yea, we know the original work on Alpha animals isn’t replicable too, but decades ago (before any of us had seen research on Alpha), we observed “top dog” behaviour in dog training circles, without anyone telling us about it.
There’s something there, it deserves proper, replicable study.
