I actually find straight down to be really annoying and always struggle to keep water from streaming down into my eyes and face. I find the slight angle from a wall mounted shower head much more versatile for cleaning and comfort.

That’s called a “fontanelle”

You could do anything on zombo.com.

I barely graduated high school and never completed my only semester of community college. My whole life I found it very difficult engaging with formal education and lacked motivation to focus on the synthetic work of school. It always felt meaningless and detached from reality to me. I was eager to be done with school as soon as possible.

I’m very satisfied with how my life turned out and the minimal role of formal education within it.

I’ve been happy using gath.io for a very privacy-respecting meeting organizer that doesn’t require participants to onboard onto yet another platform.

Population density matters:

I always figured maybe the acid rain would save us from the killer bees.

Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.

But, I do want to pay. I want to support the artists who create the shows and movies that I enjoy. I want people to be able to earn a living in the creative arts.

How many people listed in the credits of your favorite show do you truly think own one, much less multiple Porsches?

Right now this is the system we’ve got. It’s like tipping culture. You can refuse to tip, but the only person that’s impacted is your server who will never be able to change the system from within.

I pay for the streaming services to fund the development and production of the shows I enjoy watching.

I torrent the content for my convenience.

It’s a classic “tragedy of the commons” scenario. I ask myself what would happen if nobody paid and everybody pirated.

No shade if that’s your choice, just recognize that you’re relying on all the people who do pay to keep the system going.

How do things outside the LAN talk to things inside the LAN that have ULA addresses. . .?

One big conceptual difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is the notion that any single host on the network is expected to have multiple, simultaneously-useful IPv6 addresses and this is totally normal and fine.

Any IPv6-enabled host is necessarily going to have a link-local address which can only be used to communicate with other hosts on the local network/subnet.

If your ISP offers IPv6 connectivity, or if you’ve set up an IPv6 tunnel from an IPv6 tunnel provider then a host on your network will also have a globally-routable IPv6 address which was assigned from your router via DHCPv6 or (more commonly) self-assigned using SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration) which is an IPv6 way for machines to self-assign addresses is a sane, interoperable way without requiring a setup and operation of a service like DHCP(v6). Many IPv6 networks do not need to use run a DHCPv6 server at all and rely solely on SLAAC host self-assignments and local IPv6 router discovery protocols to find DNS servers and eligible gateways to other networks and the internet at large.

The block of IPv6 addresses used for your local machines is delegated by your ISP or tunnel provider. It can be static or dynamic and the underlying protocols will handle if that network range changes. IPv6 generally is tolerant of a host’s public IP addresses changing at any time without disrupting connections or services.

With privacy extensions (enabled by default on all mainstream operating systems) a host on your network might have additional publicly-routable addresses which rotate frequently for privacy. Outbound traffic for the host will prefer these more private addresses for new connections. These addresses are ephemeral and change frequently.

In rare cases you might set up ULA addresses which are static and usable on your internal networks but will not be routed to the internet. They can be used for hosting services on your local network which need to potentially span multiple subnets/VLANs and in particular are useful for internal resources like name servers which cannot rely on DNS lookups for address resolution. Most networks will not use ULA addresses and normal use cases do not require them.

At any given moment, an IPv6-enabled host will have multiple active addresses all used for different types of traffic and it’s important to break any assumptions you have carried over from IPv4 about the relationship between IP addresses and hosts on the network. Your host might be using a link local address to talk to another machine on a shared internal subnet while also using temporary, globally-routable IP privacy address to talk to a server on the internet. Multiple addresses can be in use at the same time to reach different endpoints in the world.

What do they pack them in?

I have single movies that are larger than your entire song library.

Fair, thanks for the context

The proposed change to UTC globally does not change the accuracy of time measurements. I think it’s a terrible idea, but I fail to see how your point here relates.

Yeah I get what you’re saying. I don’t think you’re hearing me, though.

Best of luck.

I never said I have the breadth of your personality. But I sure as shit have some opinions at this point about what it’s like to interact with you online.

Then honestly I don’t really care about what you think.

Perhaps not me personally but you’ve expressed elsewhere in the comments that you do care about the reaction you’ve received from this community. You’ve expressed frustration at the replies and downvotes you’ve received.

The lemmy mob I’m referencing is actually more of a downvote campaign… it’s the same group of people nearly every time.

I’m suggesting that it might not be about your views specifically and more about how you choose to interact with the other people here.

. . . you can’t discern “personality” traits in 3 sentences of text.

I’ve definitely formed an opinion based on our brief interaction. Is it hard to believe that others might have also done so?
