Not to mention everything community about cats!

To be fair it’s 2024 and I’m still doing this, because adding an alternate location to install flatpaks in results in Flatseal not being able to detect those apps or edit those permissions. Just setting the default location as a symlink to where I want to magically fixes everything.

Yeah I’ve heard about punycode. Personally, I’m well against it because it puts down non-MURRICAN English domain names as second-class citizens on the internet. If I have a website about Copiapó, a perfectly legal town, there’s no good reason why the domain name should not be copiapó.cl rather than copiap-xcwhngoingohi4oleleiyho42yt4ptg4ht4.cl, making it look “suspect” and “malware-y”.

There were quite some complains back in the time about Firefox choosing not to “flag” internationalized names as potentially dangerous, and pretty much all those complaints that I know of likely came from English speakers who simply can’t understand other countries in the world even can have different alphabets.

if you want voice well, then idk what to say

Mumble!

And don’t get me started on TLS certificates in local networks…

I hate this and the fact that modern platforms seem to require TLS even if you’re serving localhost, so much.

crypto based

well, there goes my interest.

Grandmas can easily install Cookie Clicker and Angry Bird and DownloadMoreRam and anything else they find on the internet with quite an ease. Are you telling me the average internet person is noticeably less capable than a grandma?

I’m not sure it’s that difficult to follow. If you offer a service in the EU, you are responsible for your server deleting personal data (or, even better, not even hosting it in the fist place!); you are not responsible for other people not deleting their copy of personal data.

But I’m not that well-informed in the actual legalese so my best understanding is the big issue is the EU’s definition of “provide service to the EU” more than anything else. They seem to think that just because your users might upload a local copy of a picture of someone from the EU, even if you yourself are not allowing connections from the EU, then you are serving to the EU. And with how nazi the EU has been going lately with stuff like ChatControl, the last thing I’d want as an instance owner is to be upheld to arbitrary boomers’ (lack of) understanding of technology.

I’ve taken to using .here (or .aqui, “here” in Español, much harder to match outside) as alternatives until something better comes up.

Ideally I’d use .aquí, correctly with the diacritic, but DNS doesn’t seem to support even the basics of Unicode in 2024.

64-bit IPv5

64-bit IP would be IPv8, not IPv5.

Not a big deal. We’re projected to run out of years by 2000 and then the world will end.

I felt dirty!

“Senpai, route me like one of your French ISPs”

128 bits basically gives one ip4 address space to each square meter of earth.

That sounds like terminal stage capitalism to me. Why would we want every tree in the Amazons to be cybergorized with its own IP? I don’t know Rick, 64 kbits bits ought to be enough for everybody, and I’m already risking it.

IPv6 is unfortunately not six bytes, no. For some weird, ass-backwards reason.

Boy do we like it!

That’s what they thought for IPv4… and for 2-year digits… and for…

1.1.1.1? :p

SQL uses it but yeah, not programming language :p.

I was on mobile so I didn’t have a .XCompose available to type ≠.

The fun thing is that, C++ being C++, this is actually an std::overflow_error…

Matrix? For sure you mean XMPP/Jabber. Matrix is a slut metadata-wise.
