Seriously, my knowledge ends with:

• It offers a shitload of IP addresses
• They look really complicated
• Something about every device in your local network being visible from everywhere?
• Some claim it obsoletes NAT?

I get that it's probably too complicated a subject for an ELI5, so if there are good videos or resources explaining it in less than half an hour, feel free to share.

Following the budget announcement in the UK, why is the media obsessed with the predicted growth being 0.2% lower, instead of applauding the much needed investment in our public services? Does it really matter that much?

This is probably a stupid question but don't understand it because it keeps happening more now than ever especially since Diddy. If I take my girlfriend to a restaurant she does not want to go to across state lines is that sex trafficking? Since we will probably have sex later?

I have never used tick tok so excuse my stuppidity

What do these people think they gain?

Whats the point?

Do they really just want to ruin stuff for everyone?

I use a VPN service that is connected to a server in another country, however this VPN service does not offer control over my DNS requests to block some sites so I preferred to use another DNS resolver that has this function.

My question is: When I access my VPN's website, it accuses that a "DNS leak" is occurring. Can the DNS provider know my real IP address, or does it only know my VPN's IP?

I ask because a couple in a state next to me just pled guilty for stealing not one PPP loan at 2.1 million and a second at 1.6 million? Did I miss out on something by being above board?

I don't see how it's a benefit to capitalism or companies or, well, anyone, really, to allow people to make thousands of trades a day for minute profits on each.

My gut feeling is that the stock market would not suffer, and less resources would be wasted, if trades and updates to stock prices were limited to, say, one batch per hour.

There are probably reasons the system is the way it is though.

I can't read long texts anymore, so I don't really understand what's going on. My internal bullshit-o-meter tells me that it's being blown out of proportion.

Can someone summarise it?

And what should I do? Make some configuration adjustments? Switch to LibreWolf or another fork?
