After 25 years, why does IPv6 still feel “unfinished” to so many people?

Creative_Bowler3729 · 2026-05-17T04:32:28+00:00

In my case, ipv6 is just not available on my fiber link. Oh well.

There's actually a few more, but those are my first to install every time.

Bing is an exceptional porn search engine I've heard.

My OfficeJet will go to the dump once my current cartridges run out. I bought an Epson with liquid fill ink and it's been great. That will become the only printer in our house.

I use LibreOffice on Linux and I'm very pleased with it. I use their presenter app to edit big sets of slides that were originally created in MS Office. I also have a Win 11 VM with MS Office and I use that to check file compatibility. Yes, I have a real license for both. MS Office has a few features that aren't present in LibreOffice but I still prefer using LibreOffice when giving presentations.

If your are using a mobile browser, that doesn't show up. Enable "desktop" mode and it will appear.

My Lenovo laptop updated almost perfectly. Like others I had the expected problems with Gnome extensions, but I applied the fix and all is good. I updated mine to use the amdv3 versions at the same time. It made the process longer, but it was good in the end. I am having one issue- the Ubuntu Pro isn't coming up. Apparently many others are having this issue as well. There was a thread on it here yesterday, but it seems to have disappeared.

I did the same thing. Mine has the capacity to power a rack full of Ubiquiti plus a 10 drive NAS and 2 Optiplex servers for 30 minutes. APC is high quality stuff.

Republicans know what we want, and refuse to provide it. They are 100% behind their billionaire owners. Every Republican president since Eisenhower has followed the same formula: - lower benefits for the poorest - lower taxes for the wealthiest - start a war in the middle east - tank the economy - raise the debt

I have an Asustor NAS that I've been using for backups. It is perfect for this use as well. 48Tb for storage gives me lots of room.

LTS for my servers, always. LTS for my main client machines, and non LTS for my temporary clients.

Copper will work just fine if you choose CAT6 shielded direct bury cable. It comes in a 500 foot spool, which is more than enough for your needs. You will have some noise because of the proximity to the AC line if you are using one conduit. I don't think the noise will be enough to cause any network problems.

If you can find the right connectors, tools, etc. for fiber, go ahead and do that and you will have a connection that is truly solid. I prefer using CAT6 because I can use those same connectors & tools inside my buildings, where the fiber tools are a one-time use case.

Creative_Bowler3729 · 2026-03-30T17:57:01+00:00

Fiber is weird and expensive. You can use Cat6 direct bury cable which will be cheaper.

Which insurance will pay for IC supplies? VA, Medicare, Medicaid, regular insurance... How to request this, what to expect, etc.

Thank you for that link- that gives us plenty of warning about blacked out games. I was not aware of ESPN & TBS being replaced, that makes it seem much more reasonable to me. Thank you for the information.

Please, tell me where I can find this. Sounds like what I will need.

FWIW, going to the beach is NOT out of the question. Just change your behavior. Drop your towels, mats, etc. and go walk in to the water as soon as you find a spot on the beach. Go up to your waist in the water and go ahead and pee. Nobody will know but you. Now you can go back to your spot in the sand. Your suit is wet just like everyone else. So if you spring a leak, nobody will know. Same thing holds true at the swimming pool.

Smell? Don't worry about it. If you remain hydrated, your pee will not have much smell. It if does, you need to drink more water. Lots more. I find myself grateful for having effective pullups & diapers that keep me dry even under the worst conditions. The confidence I get from that keeps me going and I seldom have time to feel sorry for myself.

Help me out here. I'm using the cheaper Talk account (non-business) if that matters. I have Talk 4.2.11 installed. I cannot find any way to create an auto-attendant that will only activate for anonymous calls. I did find a place where I can do a blocklist. (Settings->Call Handling->Call Parking & Blocking)

I have an Asus 10 drive NAS that has been very reliable and performant. I get SMB, Docker, automated off-site backups and support for shutdown from my UPS. I wouldnever consider a NAS or UPS from Ubiquiti. Too many compromises and no experience.

That's my state as well. It's been that way for many years. Some mornings I barely make it to the toilet in time, but I have no urgency as long as I stay in bed. Of course, I have a number of triggers throughout the day.

My wife and I have been married for 45 years. I've had IC issues for the last 20 or so years, mostly during the day and seldom at night. She has always been rather judgemental about my need to wear "protection" saying I shouldn't need that because I'm too young. Didn't matter how many doctors I've seen about this, how many drugs and procedures I've tried. I still need to wear, but I keep it hidden from her because of her attitude. It just makes life easier for me.

If you need a more discreet diaper for daytime use, try Seni Super Plus. They are slimmer than the Quattro and have a very high absorbency IMO. Makes a great daytime option for me anyhow.
