  • It’s a lot easier to shovel a foot of snow thrice than it is to shovel 3 feet of snow that’s compacted, melted down a bit, formed a freezing layer on top and ice on the bottom, and now your shovel is broke because you were trying to pry up that ice with 60lb of snow on top of it.

    But at that point you say fuck it and just pay a guy to swing by with his plow and throw out some salt.

    I appreciate the sentiment though.


  • So, like, obviously you’re a fucking idiot but beside that what are you even talking about? I’m not going to bother reading your unhinged reply, but seriously, it’s not like anyone is up in arms about this in the comments or frankly care all that much.

    Why was it a concern? There’s a valid question, it was an unidentified white powder it could have been something dangerous. Okay there’s a reasonable explanation.

    But again, nobody really cares. Wow, people use drugs. Gasp. Get a fucking grip. I’ve found most people who are critical of government leadership using drugs are critical of the hypocrisy, not the drugs themselves, because they understand prohibition is taking away their liberty. Actual liberty, not the kind of hate mongering fascists call liberty.

    If people actually cared about something like this happening in China, I’d wager, is because it would be surprising somebody would be brave enough to obtain cocaine and then bring it into a government entity in a totalitarian regime where literally fucking killing you is the punishment for possession.

    But again, not gonna read your reply. There’s actually an instance for idiots like you, maybe go find lemmygrad so you can be coddled in your safe space with like-minded shitbags instead of bringing your weird shit here.









  • IPv4 is the old standard of Internet Protocol addresses that you’re probably familiar with (something like 192.168.1.10, although the 192.168.x.x range is actually only private addresses). It’s still used on most devices today but it only supports up to ~4.3 billion addresses and as you can imagine, those addresses have basically run out with all of the various devices and servers and whatever else is connected to the internet. IPv4 is in the process of being replaced by the new (10 27* year old) IPv6, but there are still a lot of old devices and a need to support the old protocol. Making IPv6 available for this server will mean any devices connected to the internet should be able to communicate with the server on this new protocol.

    As for DNSSEC, when you go to resolve a a hostname, like lemmy.world, your computer will make a request to a DNS server to figure out what IP address it needs to navigate to in order to access the server. In theory, someone could intercept your DNS request and tell you an address for the server that isn’t actually the address for the server, but rather a malicious host. DNSSEC basically acts as a layer of security to help confirm that information you’re getting on your DNS request is good and true.
