My side hustle website got big enough in 2007 to allow me to quit my day job and go all in with it.

What was unique about the 90s in the US?

Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.

None of Jellyfin’s security issues affect me.

All of Plex’s shit does.

Every year Jellyfin improves and Plex further enshittifies. You’re fighting against the tide here.

But, I do want to pay. I want to support the artists who create the shows and movies that I enjoy. I want people to be able to earn a living in the creative arts.

How many people listed in the credits of your favorite show do you truly think own one, much less multiple Porsches?

Right now this is the system we’ve got. It’s like tipping culture. You can refuse to tip, but the only person that’s impacted is your server who will never be able to change the system from within.

I pay for the streaming services to fund the development and production of the shows I enjoy watching.

I torrent the content for my convenience.

It’s a classic “tragedy of the commons” scenario. I ask myself what would happen if nobody paid and everybody pirated.

No shade if that’s your choice, just recognize that you’re relying on all the people who do pay to keep the system going.

Is it really agreement? Do you feel that the new logo sucks because it's flat, uninspired, and anodyne? Or do you feel that the new logo sucks because it's an attack by the evil, communist, socialist, libdem, woke, LGBTQ community to remove all white culture from American society?

How do things outside the LAN talk to things inside the LAN that have ULA addresses. . .?

One big conceptual difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is the notion that any single host on the network is expected to have multiple, simultaneously-useful IPv6 addresses and this is totally normal and fine.

Any IPv6-enabled host is necessarily going to have a link-local address which can only be used to communicate with other hosts on the local network/subnet.

If your ISP offers IPv6 connectivity, or if you've set up an IPv6 tunnel from an IPv6 tunnel provider then a host on your network will also have a globally-routable IPv6 address which was assigned from your router via DHCPv6 or (more commonly) self-assigned using SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration) which is an IPv6 way for machines to self-assign addresses is a sane, interoperable way without requiring a setup and operation of a service like DHCP(v6). Many IPv6 networks do not need to use run a DHCPv6 server at all and rely solely on SLAAC host self-assignments and local IPv6 router discovery protocols to find DNS servers and eligible gateways to other networks and the internet at large.

The block of IPv6 addresses used for your local machines is delegated by your ISP or tunnel provider. It can be static or dynamic and the underlying protocols will handle if that network range changes. IPv6 generally is tolerant of a host's public IP addresses changing at any time without disrupting connections or services.

With privacy extensions (enabled by default on all mainstream operating systems) a host on your network might have additional publicly-routable addresses which rotate frequently for privacy. Outbound traffic for the host will prefer these more private addresses for new connections. These addresses are ephemeral and change frequently.

In rare cases you might set up ULA addresses which are static and usable on your internal networks but will not be routed to the internet. They can be used for hosting services on your local network which need to potentially span multiple subnets/VLANs and in particular are useful for internal resources like name servers which cannot rely on DNS lookups for address resolution. Most networks will not use ULA addresses and normal use cases do not require them.

At any given moment, an IPv6-enabled host will have multiple active addresses all used for different types of traffic and it's important to break any assumptions you have carried over from IPv4 about the relationship between IP addresses and hosts on the network. Your host might be using a link local address to talk to another machine on a shared internal subnet while also using temporary, globally-routable IP privacy address to talk to a server on the internet. Multiple addresses can be in use at the same time to reach different endpoints in the world.

What do they pack them in?

Dude isn’t allowed to vote for legalization of marijuana, because he got caught possessing marijuana.

Just to clarify, he's not able to vote because he's a Canadian citizen and not because of his past convictions.
