I like coffee, Philly, Pittsburgh, Arabic language, anything on two wheels, music, linux, theology, cats, computers, pacifism, art, unity, equity, etymology, the power of words, and getting high off airplane glue. Will use Adobe Illustrator for food.

Yeesh, even beyond the obvious, sticking around after that probably puts a real target on your back for a few years later. I would do the same thing.
Seriously, folks. I was born here, grew up here, and never left. Do not come into the country. Basically, we will all let you know when the coast is clear. 🤷 Until then, please, do not risk it, even if you think you are from a friendly country.
I’m so frustrated. It’s happening exactly like everyone said it would. I wanted to think everyone was smarter than this, but this is the Executive equivalent of yelling, “IT’S COMING RIGHT FOR US” right before you kill illegal game.
I worked with one of the inventors of IPv6 for a bit of time, and I think knowing Carl really gave me an insight into who IPv6 was invented for, and that’s the big, big, big networks — peering groups that connect large swaths of the Internet with other nations’ municipal or public infrastructure.
These groups are pushing petabytes of data every hour, and as a result, I think it makes their strategists think VERY big picture. From what I’ve seen, IPv6 addresses very real logistical problems you only see with IPv4 when you’re already dealing with it on a galactic scale. So, I personally have no doubt that IPv6 is necessary and that the theory is sound.
However, this fuckin’ half-in/half-out state has become the engine of a manifold of security issues, primarily bc nobody but nerds or industry specialists knows that much about it yet. That has led to rushed, busy, or just plain lazy devs and engineers to either keep IPv6 sockets listening, unguarded, or to just block them outright and redirect traffic to IPv4 anyway.
Imo there’s not much to be done besides go forward with IPv6. It’s there, it’s tested, it’s basically ready for primetime in terms of NIC chip support… I just wish it weren’t so obtuse to learn. :/
Yeah.
fun fact, the years 1999, 2000, and 2001 were actually all the same year.

my first world problem is that my commute is too short to finish a full podcast 😩😭
that was my experience when I lived in Minneapolis. when there was zero traffic and in the summer, you could get from any place in town to any other place in between 15-20 minutes. snarled traffic was rare because there were so many additional terrestrial roads to take the burnt.
Contrast that with living in Philly, and we have a highway (676) that is so jammed all the time that the exits are measured on signage in fractions.
the funny thing is, every city is always just one more lane away from solving their traffic problems.
I still don’t think that this could be called a constant when you’ve got folks like myself who live in a major city, 8 miles away from our workplaces, and still see 2 hour total commutes per day.
We should strip the inheritance if anyone who is related to folks who demolished the streetcar system.
hey, this is the plot of Children of Men…
that’s all by bus, really. I live at the top of a hill that used to be used as a qualifier in a professional bicycling circuit. I tried getting up it on pedal power, it’s just too much.
I got an eBike recently though, it really does make that hill a breeze.
