Oh no worries, I am writing a Cisco networking exam in about a month, so I’ve actually studied subnets and addressing a good amount, but I don’t mind the refresher!

I was just speaking more generally, in terms of programming, where integers and strings are different data types, yet you can store numbers as a string, which I always found interesting.

interesting . . In my head, I think of ip addresses like just decimal values or integers separated by periods, but clearly a decimal value isn’t processed as such by a computer. To think that IP addresses are simply strings is pretty interesting to my amateur mind, because for all my life I thought of them as technical computer jargon that isn’t the same as what I used to think strings were: words!

Okay, I’m learning networking but have no idea what this means

I’ve switched to OpenTracks, and short of the (imo) needless social media functions, it’s great!

“Detachment 201: the Executive Innovation Corps”

Lol, as if AI technology in the military hasn’t been in the public zietgiest for at least the past 40 years

Funny, I’m trying to think of the amount of times my 8 year old daughter asked me to switch to windows because Linux has too many issues, and I’ve got nothing.

The real copium is thinking Linux is poverty, just to feel good about windows.

Quality copypasta!

cheap and easy? I tried running it myself and ran into several hurdles, and gave up. How did you host it? VPS? Docker? Bare-metal?

no mention of tox chat, eh? Open source, p2p private chat, what’s not to like?

I do think that if a family member were to drop unconscious, I would drive regardless, but not having the potential legal trouble afterwards is a nice thing to have, in case the cops got involved or something.

thanks for the perspective. I think I will keep it. I just hate all the costs associated with driving, and I don’t even drive, and have to pay this and that.

And yeah, I have been in situations where I needed to drive, like helping a buddy drive a uhaul, or when another buddy passed out, I drove him to the hospital just in case he dropped behind the wheel.

Renewal, it expires after a certain time, I think 5 years where I live, Ontario.

sometimes, I can relate to the local government. They make mistake, after mistake, and years later, they figure it all out.

I’m currently in the figuring it out stage, but man, I guess it’s hard to think of them as just people, rather than this ideal organized group that’s super efficient and well formed. It’s all just people at the end of the day. Sure, I’m just joe shmoe, but have we ever proven that people of authority are immune to error?

oh damn, I’ve never seen one in person, but I don’t really care about judgment by others, so if I could get some prescription lenses on those, that’d be ideal.

A manual focus version would be cool too. I don’t like the idea of having yet another thing to charge.

Just imagine if the eloquent words of the founding fathers were the norm of the type of content you see on tik tok. If that were the case, I would have joined a long time ago.

I don’t regret not deleting all my comments. For me, It’s a mishmash of helpful/comedic/observational comments that I don’t care that they have sold off for use as training data.

But, I just got shadowbanned, because of my VPN or something, so they aren’t getting any more!

When I got my first car, since I hadn’t driven for many years before that moment, whenever I drove, I felt like I was moving at superhuman speeds. Like, walking is slow, cycling is around 15-25km/h on average, yet driving is 50km/h and higher, on most streets where I drove.

Having a human-scaled life, means not moving at such unusual speeds, that sure, are normal in the 21st century, but common, haven’t we proven that bigger isn’t always better, faster isn’t always beneficial?
