  • We dislike it because nobody needs it. Nobody here is getting DDoS’d to any extend that needs external protection.

    I’m talking anecdotally but it seems to me that all the people who ride-or-die Cloudflare are also self-hosters who aren’t very knowledgeable about self-hosting concepts and just heard that cloudflare protects against all these imaginary problems because they sure do sound scary!





  • Every system, public or private, references this number. In practice, this allows authorities, and anyone with access, to track a person’s movements, habits, and history across virtually every aspect of society.

    No it fucking doesn’t you dumbass. I give my CPR to an employer, that doesn’t give them access to anything besides confirmation that I am who I say I am. Nobody but the medical system has access to my health records and even that is wound up in numerous laws and explicit-consent forms.

    There is no cross-contamination of data, it’s just an ID.

    In Denmark, any public employee can search your CPR number in the national system and instantly pull up everything the state knows about you. If you work in healthcare, you have access to all health records, yes, everything, down to the embarrassing detail you once mentioned to your doctor about that spot on your buttcheek.

    I’m not gonna read the rest of this, because they’re literally lying. That’s not how CPR works. Fuck off.

    Denmark has many flaws you could point to, why make shit up?



  • I like what he does and that he can rally people to a cause, but he consistently misses the mark.

    In order to escape the corrupt bureaucracy of New York, he moved to… Texas.

    I think he’s a ‘path of least resistance’ kind of guy, not ideologically driven but rather “I don’t wanna deal with it” driven. He has deemed that it is easier to move to Texas because the corruption there affects him less directly and more abstractly, and he chooses to front Right to Repair because it is easier to lobby and rally people than it is to work in his industry without his political influence.

    He has a front row seat to the horrors of capitalism and, without missing a beat, says “I’m not a socialist, I’m a capitalist” because it’s easier to be a shitlib than it is to believe in something bigger.







  • Its really not possible to remember an IPv6.

    skill issue. Your ISP isn’t giving you a /128, you don’t have to remember a whole ass SLAAC address. My desktop has like 4 IPv6 addresses most of the time, but I only have to remember the one I assigned it and my network prefix. This is one of the advantages of IPv6; you can have an easy to remember, and SLAAC, and privacy-extension addresses all at once.

    I can’t prove it, but I’m typing this from my head- 2a05:f6c7:8321::10
    That’s about as human readable as IPv4.


  • IPv6 isn’t just a larger IPv4. There are features inherent to it, like link-local actually functioning and being predictable, unlike APIPA in v4 which was grafted on as an afterthought and breaks more than it works.

    It also functions router-less. You can grab 30 10-port switches and just stick them together and start plugging computers in. It will work without configuration or an authority.

    I am all v6 internally, but that’s not because I have a splatillion devices, but rather it’s just better and easier to manage.
