  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    TranscriptFalse meme image that says "bad news ipv4 fans. linus torvalds has announced removing ipv4 support from the linux kernel after the maintainers of the network stack got into a fight over WHAT KIND OF HRT gives the best results. this incident will impact 5 billion people and will make 95% of all network equipment on Earth binnable." with fake screenshots of the linux kernel mailing list a girl calling another one a slur from 4chan over HRT choices and Linus Torvalds saying he will drop IPv4 support and asking the maintainers to learn to shut the fuck up.

    Maybe this will move my ISP to provide IPv6.

    As a modest proposal, let's just kill anyone who disagrees. These troglodytes had long enough time to get on speed with the world and human progress cannot further afford individuals unwilling to adapt.

    Renewal! Progress! Electrification!

    My dream. IPv6 adoption would skyrocket to a degree unimaginable and those who donโ€™t want to, will fall behind unless they move their asses and learn.

    Is this real? I thought that Linus has improved his demeanor a bit in the recent years?

    [โ€“] coherent_domain@infosec.pub 47 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

    Linus have stated multiple times that he does not break user space, thus this quiet clearly cannot be real.

    Honestly I need an AI to protect my data.

    Itโ€™s too much atp

    ipv6 is great for public networks/ wan or extreme large nets. but for a small local net, ipv4 is so much easier if you need to access a single device. if ipv6 is parallell too, great but I hope ipv4 wont be disabled/ non existens in the future bc of this

    IPv4 isn't compatible with IPv6

    I actually would argue that IPv6 is better even for small networks since it has SLAAC

    [โ€“] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

    There's almost certainly no future where IPv4 goes away. Not unless people abandon the Internet entirely and look for some alternative built on IPv6 from the start.

    This is the first time I've seen a punycode domain name in the wild.

    transphobic slur used on 4chan to refer to trans women who do not pass as cis women

    also, injections are the best route of administration for estrogen

    I didn't notice that when I posted this :/.

    Something needed to happen here, weโ€™ll see if even Torvalds has the power to kick massive telecom and consumer electronics conglomerates in the butt. Itโ€™s been too long.

    • My fiber provider started an early rollout of IPv6 like a decade abgo, and itโ€™s been stalled out ever since.
    • Iโ€™m still seeing new consumer electronics being sold even though theyโ€™re IPv4 only.
