11·7 months agoAmerican Chopper … that was supposed to just be a show about building bikes, but on day one, the Pauls had one of their legendary disagreements. They didn’t have to script, the drama just wrote itself. Everyone jumped on the reality tv bandwagon to try and recreate the popularity of watching Paul Drama, Inc.
It also made for great memes.

Edit: I remember the dialup days and trying to watch a 10 second video on ebaum’s world. I used to have AOL back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
These are the people that seek things “to have their ears tickled” instead of ingesting the truth of the matter.

6·9 months agoThe game is still actively developed, with the primary focus on bug-fixing. The price is one-time, and there is no intent to sell another expansion, as the game is pretty much at its technical limits as to what you can add to the game with the current expansion.
Also it has a ridiculously good mod repo and management system built into the game.
If your engine blows in a normal car at that mileage, replacing the engine will cost several times the car’s value as well. In either case, it’s time to replace it with someting new(er) anyway.
EV batteries last a very long time when implemented right. Post-2015, and on cars not named the Nissan Leaf, batteries can last 10+ years and well over 200,000 miles. A Hyundai recently went in for a battery at 389,000 miles… all of which were not well maintained miles, as in, overnight to 100 percent, fast charge, drain to empty, etc. Hyundai bought the battery for Science reasons.
As for recycling, a company recently developed a system to turn used ev batteries into grid storage by literally plugging them into a special adapting charging controller.
This is in addition to recycling the batteries.
American Petroleum Institute… and the page is 404
The EV is definitely a money improvement. A new battery and the Subaru will sell for a pretty penny, though.

2·11 months agoI have, and yes, they do come right up to you if they think you’re going to feed 'em. I’ve encountered deer at the hardware store, which involves people driving monster trucks with trailers, forklifts loading and unloading wood, and so on, and the deer don’t even care.
Realistically, the skip should be named “Desktop”
Block new connections inbound on the router’s wan. Also block ping if you don’t want pings to find you. That’s the most basic setup for firewalling on the udm, ipv4 and 6. Every router in 2025 should be able to block new inbound on ipv6.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•We don't talk about IPv5English
13·6 months agoLet me one up this. IPv4 NAT is like the pizza guy has to deliver to you, but you live in a gated community with a strict no visitors policy, which does not allow you to even mention what unit you’re in, and none of the addresses in the community are registered with the post office or on Google Maps either. Instead, you tell the guardhouse you want to order, and they order the pizza for you. The pizza guy delivers to the guardhouse, and the guardhouse delivers the pizza to you.
IPv6 (with firewalling) is like a normal gated community, you order the pizza and include the unit number, and the delivery driver can deliver your pizza directly, as long as the guardhouse approves.
The difference is, with NAT, the guardhouse has to both guard (firewall) and route (keep track of all deliveries, and deliver) your packages, where with IPv6, the guardhouse (firewall) only has to guard (firewall) the entry point.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•We don't talk about IPv5English
59·1 year agoSkill issue
IPv6 is easy to do.
2000::/3 is the internet range
fc00::/7 is the private network range (for non routing v6)
fe80::/64 is link local (like apipa but it never changes)
::1/128 is loopback
/64 is the smallest network allocation, and you still have 64 bits left for devices.
You don’t need NAT when you can just do firewalling - default drop new connections on inbound wan and allow established, related on outbound wan like any IPv4 firewall does.
Use DHCPv6 and Prefix Delegation (DHCPv6-PD) to get your subnets and addresses (ask for a /60 on the wan to get 16 subnets).
Hook up to your printer using ipv6 link local address - that address never changes on its own, and now you don’t have to play the static ip game to connect to it after changing your router or net config.
The real holdup is ISPs getting ultra cheap routers that use stupid network allocation systems (AT&T) that are incompat with the elegant simplicity of prefix delegation and dhcp.

I mean, this is correct. You take the oath, you have to live up to it. You will be treating people you don’t agree with, and you have to square up with that, or your rep will take a dive.

No, but as a consolation prize, look closer. Between all the unifi flex switches is one netgear dumb switch
