  • Slightly related to the issue of remembering addresses, I think the main issue is with the fact that local nameservers are pretty much non-existent if you’re not running OpenWrt or OpnSense. Which is shameful because the local nameserver is an amazing quality of life tool.

    Also the fact that officially there are no local TLDs except for “.arpa” while browsers won’t resolve one word domains without adding http://

    And don’t get me started on TLS certificates in local networks… (although dns01 saves the day)






  • You know… it might be just a little bit easier (/s) to take people out of poverty if the trillions didn’t go to pockets of ultra rich and the companies.

    In a limited capital economy (and we are in such an economy despite capitalists thinking we’re not) every dollar that ends up in a pocket of ultra rich is a dollar that cannot be spent on food and housing by regular people.

    Every single dollar in companies and ultra rich pockets comes from regular people’s work. Thus, if someone despite working lives in poverty then they are actively being exploited by the ultra rich. Jeff Bezos and Amazon workers living on food stamps is a great example.

    We simply can’t take everyone out of poverty if we don’t distribute the money even slightly more fairly.


  • I would say that if someone asks a difficult question it’s often difficult because it’s very general, so you don’t have any specific point to answer that you know will satisfy the person asking.

    On the other hand, if someone is writing misinformation then they provide specific statements which still may be difficult to correct but you have those anchor points you can refer to.

    So I guess the thing here is that if someone, after asking a question, writes a BS answer they actually refine their question and narrow its scope, thus making it easier to answer.

    I usually see broad questions about rather simple things unanswered, but very specific yet difficult questions answered
