In IPv6, a /64 is only supposed to be used for a single subnet. If you have a subnet smaller than /64, things will break. SLAAC needs a /64, which means Android phones for example can't use IPv6 on a subnet smaller than /64.

/64 might seem huge but that's just how IPv6 works. The entire 64-bit host ID is used for encoding MAC addresses into the IP address, or creating randomized privacy addresses. It needs to be huge so that it can do that statelessly.

It's the confusing mess of subscriptions and seemingly locking basic functionality behind a paywall that's skeevy, not paying for software itself. I have happily paid for software before and would again. Plex has never appealed to me though, and they're certainly doing nothing to make themselves more appealing.

Yes, but only if your firewall is set to reject instead of drop. The documentation you linked mentions this; that's why open ports are listed as open|filtered because any port that's "open" might actually be being filtered (dropped).

On a modern firewall, an nmap scan will show every port as open|filtered, regardless of whether it's open or not.

Edit: Here's the relevant bit from the documentation:

The most curious element of this table may be the open|filtered state. It is a symptom of the biggest challenges with UDP scanning: open ports rarely respond to empty probes. Those ports for which Nmap has a protocol-specific payload are more likely to get a response and be marked open, but for the rest, the target TCP/IP stack simply passes the empty packet up to a listening application, which usually discards it immediately as invalid. If ports in all other states would respond, then open ports could all be deduced by elimination. Unfortunately, firewalls and filtering devices are also known to drop packets without responding. So when Nmap receives no response after several attempts, it cannot determine whether the port is open or filtered. When Nmap was released, filtering devices were rare enough that Nmap could (and did) simply assume that the port was open. The Internet is better guarded now, so Nmap changed in 2004 (version 3.70) to report non-responsive UDP ports as open|filtered instead.

Maybe. We might be getting into the weeds of unknowable philosophical questions here.

My belief is that my consciousness now is more or less the same as when I was young. But then, there's no way to know that, as we only exist in the current instant. It's possible I sprung into existence when I woke up this morning.

And yet I think that the claim "there's no continuity of consciousness, the You that existed yesterday is not the same You that exists now" is just as unprovable and thus unknowable as the claim that I am the same Experiencer that I always have been. We have no understanding of what consciousness even is.

To be honest I'm not really sure what consciousness "changing" means. I'm curious what you mean by that. In my mind, either it is or it isn't the same. It's just the thing that experiences my identity, my body, qualia. It's awareness itself.

I think some of the difficulty here boils down to the impossibility of defining consciousness itself.

I had issues connecting to Nextcloud from mobile clients when using Authelia, they didn't like it, but if there's a workaround for that that's great

My instance has downvotes disabled, so if those comments are downvoted to hell I wouldn't know. As a result they show as reasonably highly upvoted on my end. Even if those opinions are controversial, the number of upvotes they get (plus the fact that there's several such comments, even here) show that there's lots of people who share the opinion. We just happen to be in a community that tends to be biased towards Discovery, so those opinions are in a minority here. Go to other communities, and suddenly people will be complaining about "woke Trek" left and right and getting majority support.

People came at you because you responded to a meme about bigots complaining about wokeness, which even you seem to concede exist, to make a complaint about how legitimate criticism gets construed as bigotry—which the meme in the post is not an example of. It comes across a little like a self report. It's like if you make a post saying "Nazism is bad" and some conservative randomly responds "this is hate speech against conservatives". You were talking about Nazis, not conservatives, but their response comes across as them admitting they're a Nazi.

That said, people came at you really aggro. It's easy to get caught up in labeling people as bigots and then get carried away in the dunking. I don't want to handwave away that fact.

Climate change is indeed the perfect example, because if we bothered to do anything about it on a societal scale instead of saying "oh well, use paper straws I guess" we'd have had a chance at stopping it and it wouldn't be so apocalyptic.

But instead, we've consistently done very little because it's always seemed too far away to matter, but by the time we start to feel the effects it's basically too late. Realistically, I don't think it's about anxiety necessarily, I think people just don't want to change their way of life. It seems like everything might work out, and little changes like carbon taxes and paper straws might mean we can keep going normally and feeding the consumerism machine like normal while driving everywhere.

As an aside, the heat death of the universe is utterly irrelevant, we'll be dead long before then. And if not, then that will be such a glorious existence for humanity that I'd be happy to die with the universe itself. I just would rather not die stuck on our own rock, choking on our own emissions that we refused to do anything about.

The ending was decent. It ended right where the book series it's based off of has a 30-year time skip, so it worked out pretty well for them. They have plenty of time to come back to it and still keep continuity with actors too FWIW.

Nah that ExpressVPN article is about regular port forwarding, not through the VPN. If you use that type of port forwarding you'll be leaking your IP.

I'm still sad about Spore, 15 years later.

To be clear, the report doesn't claim it's proven that trans women have no advantage in elite sports, but rather that the biomedical evidence is inconclusive and that the methodology of existing studies has been highly flawed.

It does go into some sociological factors which is good, and it draws attention to the fact that these studies are seemingly often conducted from a place of transphobia to begin with.

I suppose it's hard to do science on it as it's such a loaded topic, and the number of trans athletes is relatively small.
