Does it do scan to FTP? For my Brother MFC device, I spun up a write-only FTP server to drop scanned documents into a network share. That made them immediately accessible to any machine on my network.

Shit just worked.

Open source with profanity in comments is statistically better than code without it

Red Star OS!

Smaller charities tend to do much better in my experience.

UBI is not charity. UBI is what the nation owes you as a shareholder of USA, Inc.

Giving people money doesn’t teach long term skills that lead to success.

Exactly. Which is why the children of rich people so often become homeless. All that money they had when they were kids kept them from learning long-term skills that lead to success. It stunted their financial growth, rendering them particularly susceptible to poverty.

The children of the impoverished, on the other hand, were forced to learn money management skills for their very survival. The superior money management skills of impoverished kids practically guarantee their future success.

This explains why self-made millionaires are so common, and generational wealth is so difficult to maintain.

Right? That’s how it works in your head, right? The people with easy access to money never learn how to manage it and ultimately squander it, right? The people who have to fight for every dime are the most successful, right?

Right?

I also think it would be better to have private organizations that have less bureaucracy.

Agreed. And an organization doesn’t get smaller or privater than a single individual. We can cut out 100% of the bullshit bureaucracy and give it straight to the individual, directly, or their caregiver if they are not qualified to maintain their own affairs. Remove everyone else, as they don’t add shareholder value.

Indeed.

Each of the issues you described is mitigated - if not cured - by steady income. And each is greatly exacerbated by a lack of such income.

What is really important is that the family and friends of the people struggling with these conditions aren’t also impoverished. The outcomes of each these conditions are vastly improved when the sufferer’s caregivers have the time and resources to attend to them.

UBI benefits everyone involved.

For the cases where the individual is not capable of managing their own money, it is still better for their caregiver to receive and manage their money on their behalf than to periodically send them crates of cauliflower and tomatoes.

Turns out that money is one of those things that the less you have of it, the harder it is to manage.

was just a standard residential setup,

The distinction is important because we are discussing IPv6. A “standard residential setup” with IPv6 would provide the user with an entire subnet rather than a single IP address. We still need a router to pass traffic from the ISP’s network to our own network, but we no longer need NAT.

It’ll take you public IP and translate those packets to use your internal one.

That is NAT, yes. But that is only one small function that a router can perform, and not all routers have NAT enabled. You only need NAT if your ISP only allows you to use a single IP address.

If your computer has an address that starts with 169, 168, or 10 there is a NAT somewhere in your network.

That’s not actually true. I can create such a network without connecting it to the internet, no NAT. I can create a second network, again, no NAT. I can then use a gateway router that allows any node on the first network to reach any node on the second. That router is still not doing any NAT. It’s just passing traffic between two networks.

Every single one of those temporary IP addresses has the same prefix, which traces back to you.

Its about as anonymous as adding an apartment number to your own street address.

i would say you want to route through as many jurisdictions as you feasibly can. For example, US investigators arent going to get any cooperation from Iran or North Korea; any trail that crosses into their borders is going to be a dead end for their investigation.

Never used plex. Finally got around to installing Jellyfin. Very happy with it.

This video provides mechanical demonstrations of impedance, SWR, and some other related concepts, making them much more intuitive: AT&T Archives: Similarities of Wave Behavior.

Pros: He never uses the term “complex conjugate”

Cons: Ancient, black and white, monotonous droning.

So, they left a bucket of water to stagnate next to a bus stop?

Unass my ram.

Zero-day exploits are security holes that exist and are used by bad actors, but aren’t yet known to you, or anyone capable of closing the hole. The clock to patch the hole doesn’t start running until the exploit is known: it stands at zero days until the good guys know it exists.

What zero-day exploits exist for ssh?

By definition, you don’t know. So, you block root login, and hope the bad actor doesn’t also know a zero-day for sudo.

Then I’ll continue:

P.S.: the antivax movement happens because of lack of trust in medical institutions.

They learn not to trust medical institutions. This is a learned behavior. What antivaxxers are learning about medical science is not reality. Whoever is teaching them is an utter moron who does not understand the subject themselves.

Likewise, the people who denounce the CLI as “unfriendly” and try to hide it away from the user. All they are really saying is “I don’t know how to use it, so nobody else should use it either.” What actually happened was they never learned it, never learned how useful it was, and never made an informed decision as to whether to use it or not: their decision against using it was based on ignorance. Just like the antivaxxer.

people shouldn’t need to be “medicine savvy” enough to know what each drug or procedure does

One does not need to know every single command and utility available on the command line. It is sufficient to understand broad, basic concepts like pipes, and man pages.

If anything, this need for “medicine savviness” is what pushes people into “doing their own research” and becoming antivax.

Ignorance and naïveté are never a part of a solution.

they don’t want to mess with the terminal to troubleshoot any errors.

I reject your premise that the purpose of the terminal is to troubleshoot errors. That is part of the widespread misconception I am talking about.

The terminal is simply for using the computer. With all the command line utilities available, and their widespread interoperability, the terminal should be one of the first tools a user looks for.

A GUI is a hammer. The CLI is the Snap-On tool truck.

EVERYTHING? I enjoy doing things that aren’t eating and sex on a intrinsic level that I was never trained to enjoy.

No, not “intrinsically”, you don’t. Food, fuck, sleep, that’s about it. You likely enjoy other things as well, but not intrinsically. I enjoy Sudoku, but that is something I learned. There is no “enjoy sudoko” element within me that I did not put there myself.

Why didn’t people adopt personal computers en masse before Windows came to be then?

They did. Everyone I knew back in the Windows 3.1 days already had computers. Most of those people didn’t have Windows, and used standalone applications. The increase in ownership came when hardware prices finally fell enough for them to be affordable. Windows development was a result of that uptick, not the cause.

No worries!

Do you also think that anyone that wants a car should be a mechanic?

I reject the premise.

I think that anyone who wants to be a driver should be able to understand that the brake pedal squeezes the pads against the rotor.

I don’t think that everyone who can identify a brake rotor is a mechanic.

Anyone that wants a drug should be a pharmacist?

I think that anyone who wants any sort of medicine should have enough medical, mathematical, and statistical knowledge to understand that vaccines don’t cause autism. I don’t think that everyone with such knowledge is a pharmacist, mathematician, or statistician.

The idea that the command line is “unfriendly” and that decelopers should hide it away is, in my opinion, the computer equivalent of the antivax movement.
