  • I have IPv6 at home, at work, on my phone, and my hotspot. I have them on my websites and servers. IPv6 is everywhere for me. I use it all the time. Most people do and don’t even realize it.

    IPv4 still reigns supreme on a LAN, because you’re never going to run out of addresses, even if you’re running an enterprise company. IPv6 subnets are usually handed out to routers, so DHCPv6 can manage that address space and you don’t need to know anything unless you’re forwarding ports on IPv6.

    For the Internet, just use hostnames. There’s literally zero reason to memorize a WAN address when it could be an A/AAAA record.








  • Yes and no.

    I own a nice pair of studio headphones, and monitor speakers. I have a large collection of vinyls and a hard drive full of FLAC files. High quality audio is great.

    But I also don’t care about quality all the time. I wear Bluetooth bone-conductor headphones most of the day because they are comfortable and open-ear. I can passively listen to music and remain alert to my surroundings and I like that.

    But there are noticeable differences between things like MP3 and FLAC, digital and analog, and different kinds of speakers and headphones that I can appreciate when I am actively listening to music.


  • I completely changed my lifestyle to reduce my part and put significant effort into it.

    This is the source of your problem. Individual action will cost you a lot while accomplishing virtually nothing. Donating some small part of your income to green nonprofits has a greater impact, at a much lower cost to your quality of life.

    A climate disaster is going to make us all make sacrifices we don’t want to make eventually, no matter what you sacrifice now. If these are the final days of a healthy planet, don’t deprive yourself while the billionaires are taking joyrides in their gigayachts. Just accept that this horror wasn’t your fault, because if everyone lived with your likely very small footprint, this probably wouldn’t be happening.




  • Exactly this. There’s still some level of understandability to not wanting more frequent visitors, but given that expectations have been set appropriately, any further objection is just selfish.

    The part where she is afraid that her partner will spend too much time with their parents is a big red flag by itself though. That seems inappropriately possessive.

    At this point, OP’s partner has established that they don’t want frequent house visitors, and they don’t want their partner spending a disproportionate amount of time away from the home. That is workable, but any further disagreement really needs to happen later, if and only if one of these boundaries is being crossed to a demonstrable deficit to the relationship.

    And the boundary for “spends too much time with parents” has to be something nuanced. Staying a week at your parents’ to avoid a fight with your partner at home is a problem. Staying a week at your parents’ while your mom recovers from surgery is basic familial responsibility.





  • I’ll just respond to your take:

    The idea to earn for a living doesn’t seem nice.

    For you it doesn’t. For others, mind your own business.

    sex should be for 2 people (or more for others who prefer polyamory) who wants to be intimate/romantic with each other.

    For you it should. For others, mind your own business.

    money should not be the purpose.

    For you it shouldn’t. For others, mind your own business.

    If you have any desire at all to weigh in or or take a position on the consensual sex lives of other adults, you’re just revealing how little you respect the freedom and autonomy of other people. You’re just revealing your desire to control others.
