I had a friend give me kanji learning cards and she had to write the pronunciation of each word for me. It had me stumped that similar kanji had no phonetic relationship.

I can sometimes read a kana word in under 30 seconds. I’m that bad. At least the symbols that look similar often sound similar too.

I have GrapheneOS on a Pixel 9a with everything backed up over NextCloud on a headless Ubuntu rackmount server.

You were waaaaay off 😆

Mine would go years without changing. The last few changes were caused by things like the upstream DHCP server failing and being replaced.

My gripe is daylight savings. You gotta get up an hour earlier for work, and the sun is out until 9PM.

You’re not gaining an extra hour of lesiure. You’re giving up an hour of sleep.

Make it a subdomain on a wildcard cert if you’re concerned about that.

Just expose it on single-stack IPv6. Nobody ever knocks. The address space is not scannable.

Bah. Hans Reiser wrote filesystems all day and he turned out fine.

It went from INI to JSON real quick.

He’s like 90 years old and I watched him do a 2 hour gig and only took one sip of coke halfway. I have no idea how he does it.

Example.com recently had an issue where its traffic was found being routed to the wrong place (its traffic should get discarded).

I use it for email accounts on test data in environments with a live mail server configured. The point of this domain is that it doesn’t work.

Every school in the whole country has the same school days, and the same school times. You don’t need to read every sign.

Most of them flash the reduced limit on a timer. They don’t require any thought.

This is how I do it. No VPN. No NAT nonsense. You can open an IPv6 address to the public internet and nobody is going to stumble across it. You don’t even disclose your address to servers you connect to.

100% of shady connections come from bots scanning address space on IPv4.

I don’t get how a single person would have that much data. I fit my whole life from the first shot I took on a digital camera in 2001… Onto a 4TB drive.

…and even then, two thirds of it is just pirated movies.

I deliberately have not used docker at home to avoid complications. Almost every program is in a debian/apt repo, and I only install frontends that run on LAMP. I think I only have 2 or 3 apps that require manual maintenance (apart from running “apt upgrade”). NextCloud is 90% of the butthurt.

I’m starting to turn off services on IPv4 to reduce the network maintenance overhead.

It’s funny how icons back then were rendered with the detail of a renaissance painting, and now that we have hidpi displays, they are designed like they have to render in EGA.

Checkout followed by 400 build errors because your entire toolchain and build pipeline has changed since you last touched it.

Optus is barely an internet connection at this point. I’m using about 10 fearures on Aussie Broadband that simply don’t exist on the Optus network.

He said that Nvidia only care about money these days.

I also only recognise Trey and Matt.

Telstra (Australia’s largest telco) now provides IPv6-only to mobile handsets by default. They’ve deployed 464XLAT.
