It is not about the words, it is not about the commas, it isn't event about the whole meaning of the text that is the reason I will never use ChatGPT, it is about that human contact you feel when you know a text hits just right because it was written by another human - like me.

I'd rather be without a car but I still need one. so I guess my next car will be a used one as small as possible with as little "features" as possible. I do not care about it at all anymore. :D

to even allow evaporative cooling when there is a shortage of water. (I assume that is why they need all that water)

well he is selling access to people to be able to make money from it I suppose, no matter if it is problems he creates, knowing it in advance can make you richer.

people are paying too much for the subscriptions then.
Right now I am using Tidal. was considering Apple music since I have so much Apple stuff and my car supports Apple Music too. The Apple Music interface seemed a little clunky, not that the Tidal app is fantastic either, it seems to be a bit defective sometimes.

There is a company called Grundfos that makes good circulation pumps. :D
Well I don't know if enshittification has, hit them yet but they used to be silent efficient and have a long life. I know one person is just an anecdote, but the circulation pumps I have, have been running for 20 years, and they adjust their power to match the load needed so when there are no draw from the loop it runs much slower.

You are right about the add ons so IDK about all use cases and destinations but when we travel between Palma Copenhagen they are extremely cheap. it is like 50eur on the right days. But that is only doable because we don't even have carry on luggage, and everything in an apartment in both ends.
As soon as i need to bring anything with me it it might as well be Norwegian or SAS. they have better take-off times and with SAS apparently I have free high speed Starlink with my Eurobonus membership.

There is more to it than it being low latency high bandwidth, it is also moving from a ground based system to a satellite based.

Well I don't think you fly a budget airline for amenities, it would be add on purchases and it seems to me that people who use them are very price conscious to pay for Starlink. And IIRC Ryan Air does not have any long haul flights so people will probably rather save the money and just listen to music or something for 3 hours than pay for internet.

at least 17.

I have been training Spanish for around 400 days. the last change broke everything. they said something about the track i was on was changing but the level would be the same.
For about a month now(iirc) i cant follow any of the conversations anymore. often i only understand 1 word in each sentence and i have no idea what they are talking about.
It is probably a good time for me to just stop. :/

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.

Forgot to add: if you enable IPv6, be sure to use the browser extension IPvFoo. It shows a small 4 or 6 in your URI bar to let you know what protocol you're connecting to. Once enabled, you'll see just how much stuff out there actually is IPv6.

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.

I would probably run Linux if I had the time to set it up on my gaming PC as gaming is all I use it for these days.
But since running Windows 11, I have migrated back to MacOS, I can run all the tools I need for my work. SSH, web brower based tools, Office 365 that customers use to communicate(incl Teams), Teamviewer etc etc.
Windows is a mess and I swapped back to Mac. If it wasn't because i work 12 hours a day, I would probably start checking Linux as a desktop again.
