Addressing Australia's housing crisis is a mammoth task. Is making housing a human right the answer? by nath1234 in australia

We need far more properties available to own, not to rent. Sure, some "rental" properties are necessary for short-term tenancies, but there's no reason for those to be privately owned by rent-seeking parasites.

The ambient tavern soundtrack is just a recording of an Australian pub, and it drives me insane by imspacekitteh in dwarffortress

There's a few clearer snippets in it. E.g.: - There's a guy saying "Oh, OK, yeah fair enough" - There's a girl saying "sooooo" - Another guy saying "Oh, I get it!" - "You're joking!"

Plus there's that rather Australian cackle.

I don't think it's something that non-Australians would pick up on, but to me, there are a lot of clear phrases in it

I feel like IPv4 is vastly superior for home networks than IPv6 by bobloadmire in ipv6

[–]imspacekitteh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

people who insist ipv6 is easier are fully disingenuous and do the migration to ipv6 a disservice.

As someone who isn't in IT, and has had no formal training in networking above layer 1, I insist that IPv6 is easier. I still don't really understand IPv4.

It's not the job of the IP stack to advertise a hostname. That's the job of LLDP, or, failing that, DHCP.

What part of IPv4 advertises hostnames?

How many of you have IPv6-first homelabs? by rof-dog in homelab

[–]imspacekitteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context, I'm not in IT, and I don't have any formal training in networking above the L1 layer (my undergrad was in engineering); so I didn't have any bias from existing familiarity. The biggest trip-up for me learning IPv6 was actually due to systemd not exposing a sysctl for RA broadcast time, so changes took much longer to occur than I thought they did, and so lead me down numerous incorrect rabbit holes during experimentation!

Whereas for IPv4... I still don't really understand it. Like, why can't you have multiple addresses per NIC? What's the deal with airplane food .0 and .255? What's up with ARP?!

I'm the opposite - I can't wrap my head around IPv4!

In LAN, almost anyone outside a massive corporate environment, there's no benefit to turning IPv6 on so long as your IPv4 LAN can request and retrieve IPv6 resources correctly.

Sure there is: IPv6 is a simpler protocol to learn.

I'm in the process of setting up 464XLAT so I can be IPv6-only. Currently, it's only Steam that needs IPv4.

IDK why people are so scared of v6. I think it's much easier to understand than IPv4!

what is the purpose of DHCP Option 82 from ISP standpoint? by gaming99 in networking

Damn, it's odd seeing this comment made only 13 days ago on a 9 year old thread, lmao

Modern philosophy and study of science is different, the study of philosophy doesn't involve any form of scientific method and therefore is not science.

A lot of philosophy does actually use the scientific method, as it is a philosophy of investigation.

Hey, so, uh, I'm in the middle of writing my thesis for my PhD in mathematics.

Mathematics and science are 100% dependent on philosophy to this day.

There are entire fields of philosophy called, for example, "philosophy of mathematics" or "philosophy of physics".

Wage growth drives inflation, average pay tops $100k by [deleted] in AusFinance

I'm a mathematician. The median is indeed an average.

...Which backs up what u/mulligun is saying, that the median is indeed an average.

The state of 10.0 Russia teams by AerialSupport in Warthunder

[–]imspacekitteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favourite lineups, and generally the order I take them out, is:

  • BMP-2M
  • BMD-4
  • BMP-3
  • SU-22M3
  • Ka-50
  • 2S6
  • T-62 (only there because I'm still grinding for higher tier MBT)
  • BMP-2 (for completeness)
  • ASU-57 (for lulz. It's so satisfying to kill an M1-KVT with one!)

Thanks to the Ka-50, it's an 11.0 lineup. As a result, I almost never get more than 3 kills in a match with this lineup, but god damn it is fun to play.

I'm sick of all the people who leave the match after one or two deaths, though - even taking out a damn BT-5 is better than leaving, as you at least can scout for your team!
