Its just with tax, I don't want to get in trouble with the IRS

¯_(ツ)_/¯

PEP8 is looking at you

You are correct, there is a lot more to dive in like NAT, IPv6, static or dynamic address, UPnP, MAC address, subnet space etc.

But I wanted to keep it simple.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ) is a communication protocol that is used to coordinate a network via a server. The server in most home cases is your internet router. It coordinates the network.

Think of your network as a town with streets, every street has a unique name aka network address. So when a new device gets into the town it gets a unique address in a certain format, when requested by the clients. Mostly IPv4 i.e. 192.168.178.20.

Second there are ports. Ports are the house numbers of the streets. So if two devices use the same IP they still can be differentiated by using different ports. To address a specific port you write it behind the IP, in our example 192.168.178.20:80. So we use port 80.

To come back to the beginning the router coordinates the IP addresses and the ports from your internal network via DHCP and makes sure every device is accessible and no doubles.

There is a lot more but very briefly this is it.

My favourites

Peter F. Hamilton

• The dreaming void trilogy
• Without telling to much it is two sections of a story part fantasy part sci-fi basically.

And if you like his style

• The Night's Dawn Trilogy
• A massive trilogy that if you stick to it has so many ideas, side stories and places in it you could make several spin off`s out of the lore. It has nothing to do with the void universe.

Adrian Tchaikovski

• Children of Time
• Also sci-fi about humankind coming to a new "eden" 😉

I know I modded mine already. But the constant fear of getting a ban because you forgot to block something or boot into the wrong nand. Its a lot more relaxed when you don't have to watch every step.

I can set internal or external browser, no difference in presentation of this link.

You should post a picture, it looks totally normal on my side.

Interesting, as I know proton from the gaming side.

The latest announcements regarding windows also brings me to the linux route again.

While I use it in the home environment I still have some software that must work. I will test drive on an older laptop first and will see how far it goes.

For server / network I already use linux a lot, for desktop I am still not conviced, yet.

We (3) use Touch HD 3 since several years now. As an upgrade (larger screen and side holding) we just ordered one Era in silver (16gb).

I started with a pocketbook 360, a 5 inch side holding reader. It is nice to see that they go back to another side holder version again, the 360 was, because of this, my favourite.
