Ahh, woah, I never thought about the huge address space would affect network scans and such.

With NAT on IPv4 I set up port forwarding at my router. Where would I set up the IPv6 equivalent?

I guess assumptions I have at the moment are that my router is a designated appliance for networking concerns and doing all the config there makes sense, and secondly any client device to be possibly misconfigured. Or worse, it was properly configured by me but then the OS vendor pushed an update and now it’s misconfigured again.

Maybe I have Stockholm Syndrome, but I like NAT. It’s like, due to the flaws of IPv4 we basically accidentally get subnets segmented off, no listening ports, have to explicitly configure port forwarding to be able to listen for connections, which kinda implies you know what you’re doing (ssshh don’t talk about UPnP). Accidental security of a default deny policy even without any firewalls configured. Haha. I’m still getting into this stuff though, please feel free to enlighten me

Microsoft and Apple are both privacy-disregarding monopolistic megacorporations. The difference is Microsoft is slowly degrading in competence and their PR machine is no longer able to compensate

That was a good game, I used to destroy everyone at local split screen

Hopefully one day they remaster it in high refresh rate, 4K, on PC… but I’m dreaming, that’ll never happen

Yes and in fact I do. Unfortunately it doesn’t help with the sense of “rigidity” of the schedule and how draining it is

Working “full time”. I love what I actually do at work (generally) but like… doing it 9-6 five days a week is so fucking draining. It feels like working defined hours for the sake of working in those hours. Obviously for most jobs the hours spent working do matter, but for software development it may actually be counterproductive as being tired fucks up your productivity hard

Oh yeah, if H5N1 was so huge why’s there no H5N2?!

Take a shot anytime the non technical scrum master/product owner wants to “help” by trying to get someone else involved the moment you mention any kind of detail/problem/thing you’re working on

Sorry about the liver

Another day, another stupid fucking government surveillance overreach

At least he died happy

3 days of intensive treatment. That’ll sort ya

Ah, other commenters beat me to saying what I was going to say regarding the semantics.

But also, it’s a unique artificially created word. Nobody is going to confuse it for anything else (granted, that might get murky with pharmaceuticals). It’s searchable with any piece of software that does simple string matching. Also, it isn’t itself a constituent of some other longer word, which helps with that kind of thing too.

The spelling of the word is also phonetically logical. Being a new artificially created word, they could’ve spelled it however they wanted, but they chose the spelling that reads how it sounds. Very few people are going to hear it spoken and misspell it if they’re typing it into some device.

Yeah… that sums it up

“Progynova”… that’s a really great name. Naming things is hard so I always appreciate a good name when I see one

To DVD!

I do, but that’s mostly because an old boss of mine did it, thought it was hilarious, and now I do too, because of the in joke

Chown, rhymes with bone.

Ah yes I also call it “Sahtah”. Australian

“towing my dog with a rope” loool

That’s very reasonable, I can get behind that. (my stance is a partly irrational overreaction and I’m totally aware of it lol)

Abbreviations are definitely annoying. My least favourite thing to do with them is “Hungarian notation”. It’s like… in a statically typed context it’s useless, and in a dynamically typed context it’s like… kind of a sign you need to refactor

Single character variable names are my pet peeve. I even name iterator variables a real word instead of “i” now… (although writing the OG low level for loops is kinda rare for me now)

Naming things “x”… shudder. Well, the entire world is getting to see how that idea transpires hahah
