One of the reasons I stick with Slack is that unlike Debian I don't have to use ancient software versions with back ported patches. Who are these people you speak of? Do they have Internet or reading disabilities? distrowatch.com/dwres.php?firstlist=slackware&secondlist=ubuntu&firstversions=1&resource=compare-packages&secondversions=1

Yggdrasil? Graybeard alert! :)

It will probably have whatever version of systemd is standard in 10 years or so when Pat deems it stable for inclusion.

The idiocy around IPv6 is astounding.

IPv6's reputation? Really? Just because you think you understand IPv4 does not qualify you to judge what is relevant in v6 even if 128 bit addresses are hard for you. The issues surrounding IPv6 deployment have nothing to do with "Oh Joe won't understand these long IPs in his home device assignment plan" but most ISP's delaying rollouts.

NAT provides security? Get over it, the CPU overhead alone isn't worth it, something even the likes of you will fathom when you start to hit 100 Mbit or faster connections on ye old home router. Stop using IPv4 hacks. Lookup IPv6 privacy extensions, something Windows enables by default.

The "P" in VPN stands for Private, implying encryption. While it's possible to setup a VPN to use null encryption, it's not the standard case. A tunnel, 6in4 or other, is not a VPN or a proxy while it might seem like that to what appears to be the average Slashdot user today.

Downgrade Netflix to IPv4 in your firewall as suggested by others to work around this, if you're v6 only, yell at Netflix.
An even worse hack is to prefer IPv4 over v6, this is so bad that even MS recommends against disabling IPv6 or changing preferred order.

And that's a good thing.

Run, swim, gym and yoga.
If that's too much, just join a Bikram Yoga class and stick with it for a month. It will change your idea about cardio workouts.

Why become a nurse in the first place?
Anyhow, best to step aside and let nature trim the breeding pool. Morons.

Create a Solaris ZFS NAS. Use individual VMs for each application. Do I need to say backups?

Their PR firm get a clue? I'll believe it when I hear sentencing.

Sounds like a secure place. I mean, if that won't slow them, they're screwed anyway.

You clearly have no idea about forums. They are complicated beasts to write and manage and are constant vectors of attack.
Since this sounds like a forum for me and my CS mates. get PHPBB, else IP board.

I know ./ has gone the way of flaming headlines for a while now, but this has to be the most stupid of headlines. We're not replacing a good teacher anytime soon. That said, there's tons of room for E-learning. Not until we're able to electronically download data into our head and somehow program muscle memory and everything else associated with learning a task. There's more to "learning" than we completely understand and a good teacher is worth more than that, they seed and encourage interest in a subject which no flashy visuals will ever accomplish.

As opposed to the really clever idea about windows that open on aircraft. You know, so I can easily free fall with the supplied parachutes in case the plane has an issue.

You're clueless about India. Stop the FUD. India will never "align" with China. China is its biggest threat, not Pakistan. Read up Indian history and its political stances.
