Comment Nothing + Claude (Score 2) 27

Notion is really only valuable as a memory/brain for Claude these days. It actually excels at that when used properly. I was also annoyed by their gmail/calendar inetgration though. It really wanted to take over the inbox and tag things how it wanted. I just didn't understand the point of it.

Micron started a new fab at their HQ in 2024 and it's barely halfway built. They have another one going up somewhere on the east coast also. They take years to build and many billions of dollars. They don't go up over night.

I worked at Micron for almost 9 years and have seen the fabs being built. Its not small feat.

Blocks email? You need email and that has nothing to do with doomscrolling. Spam is pretty under control at this point. Scammers will directly call and text you so just having a phone is an issue. I also need mapping apps and I need my browser for things like banking and such.

I could see giving this phone to someone who can't control themselves online like romance scam victims.

Everyone born today is in debt for hundreds of thousands of dollars because the people before them would t balance a budget and the government decided to print print print. They either work and pay that money off or they die in complete poverty. Thatâ(TM)s slavery. Itâ(TM)s debtors prison minus the walls holding them in. We are all cattle in this economy and they will either milk us or slaughter us at their whim. If you believe otherwise I feel sorry for you. Itâ(TM)s the economic version of the Matrix. Wake up

To be fair the government believes this too. Why else would they just print money whenever the fuck they feel like it? That of course begs the question, why do I pay taxes if they just print money whenever the fuck they want to? It's all completely fake and made to enslave people. This hasn't been a capitalist country in decades, not since leaving the gold standard.

OSX is based on FreeBSD. They did not do a reimplementation, they just added the easy parts. And basing things on FreeBSD is also the thing that allows Apple to switch CPU architecture. Because they get that almost for free. And that is why they could do it so fast. Sure, theoretically MS could do the same, but they are not organizationally capable of even thinking that they may have screwed up enough to make that step the only way out.

Also refer to countless large-scale software projects that have failed or are in a bad state but cannot be fixed.

Why are you arguing? Your post just proved my whole point. Also it's not based on FreeBSD, it utilized the FreeBSD user space while doing their own kernel, Darwin. You keep stating "can't be fixed" as if it's some fact, while simultaneously acknowledging others have, in fact, fixed these issues in the past. Let it go.

I disagree. Apple went from OS9 to OSX, a completely new codebase by creating new frameworks for devs and a translation layer for old apps (Remember Cocoa, Rosetta, Carbon?). They then phased the old out while providing documentation and tools for devs to move. It's perfectly doable with very clear cases of it being done. Microsoft simply refuses to do it.

Apple's even done this while switching from PPC to Intel and then to ARM. There is no technological barrier here, it's all organizational and cultural at MS.

It can be fixed, they just won't do it. Microsoft has fought internally over various technologies for decades, between win32 and .Net and all the shit in-between. They never standardized like Apple did which left them entrenched in technical debt. They could, today, start a standardization process, build out a new and modern tech stack, advise their devs to migrate to that, then set a date with the cut off. Apple's success at this is a model for anyone to follow. They just won't due to internal fighting.

Everyone else sheds the old stuff, even Linux drops code from time to time. Microsoft does this to themselves.

To me the hoops that smoothbrains will jump through to avoid IPv6 and stay on legacy IPv4, especially when hosting, is pathetic. NAT, port forwarding, tunnels, blah blah blah blah.

I have something like ~1.2 trillion times the number of routable addresses that the entire IPv4 space has. Not all are reachable, of course, just the services that need incoming access and they're each on their own isolated DMZ.

Comment My home network is nearly pure IPv6 (Score 1) 73

Started the move about 18 months ago when I decided to get off my lazy ass. My ISP gives out a /56 prefix, so that lets me run 256 /64 subnets/VLANs in the house, currently there are ~10 in use. Everything get a GUA through SLAAC and I use RAs (Router Advertisements) to give ULAs to everything. Any external facing services get their own VLAN and /64 for the system(s) as needed. Firewall blocks all incoming as they usually do by default and I punch a hole for the external-facing systems. They can't reach back into the network, they only answer the phone. All the systems update DNS dynamically if the prefix or full address ever change.

I have an SSH bastion set up. In all this time there has not been a single SSH attempt from the internet. On IPv4 it was constant background noice.
For those legacy IPv4-only systems on the internet, I set up NAT64. I have an IoT VLAN and IoT 2.4 GHz wireless network that are only IPv4 because a lot of IoT network stacks are junk.

I'm still farting around with it, but man oh man, there's no way I'd go back to IPv4. It was one of the best moves I've done in ages.
