I use IPv6 exclusively for my homelab. The pros:

• No more holepunching kludge with solutions like ZeroTier or Tailscale, just open a port and you are pretty much good to go.

• The CGNAT gateway of my ISP tends to be overloaded during the holiday seasons, so using IPv6 eliminates an unstability factor for my lab.

• You have a metric sh*t ton of addressing space. I have assigned my SSH server its own IPv6 address, my web server another, my Plex server yet another, … You get the idea. The nice thing here is that even if someone knows about the address to my SSH server, they can’t discover my other servers through port scanning, as was typical in IPv4 days.

• Also, because of the sheer size of the addressing space, people simply can’t scan your network.

I use arch btw.

Indeed. I would love to have a “modernized Morrowind” experience – an RPG game that really nails the role-playing part of RPG, but without the cheesy parts of Morrowind like the unintuitive combat system – but all of us know that it’s just not gonna happen.

Assuming the entire US court system isn’t in the corporate pocket

I love your optimism

Also, icons. The icons in Windows XP are too recognizable. You need to minimalize them. In fact, minimalize it so hard that not one person could understand what the icon is even referring to.

r/worldnews is just a propaganda sub disguised as a hub for world news.

I’ve noticed that many Reddit users with the username format Word_Word_Number (for example Absolute_Bot_1230) are almost guaranteed to either be a bot or extremely inflammatory – it’s like everything they post is meant to generate controversies.

The IDs of criminals are sometimes leaked on the web. People use those leaked IDs to register their account. Many systems don’t actually check whether the ID is already registered, it works as long as the ID itself is valid.

“Shits me to tears” lmao that’s amazing, I am gonna use it from now on.

If I remember right, the syncing issue was particularly egregious when you run windowed X11 programs on Wayland. So it could be that you got lucky.

I think if you consider anything post C++03 (so C++11 or newer) to be “modern C++” then Concepts must be the top example, doesn’t it?

Counting from C++0x that’s almost a decade of waiting.

It’s the explicit sync protocol.

The TL;DR is basically: everyone else has supported implicit sync for ages, but Nvidia doesn’t. So now everyone is designing an explicit sync Wayland protocol to accommodate for this issue.

You need to enable DRM KMS on Nvidia.

Mine is simply default KDE. The only visible thing I’ve changed is the wallpaper – changes to my desktop mostly concentrate on the “invisible” ones like shortcut keys or setting changes or scripting.

Desktop? I settled on Arch and Fedora.

Server? Debian. Although technically I never distrohopped on servers, been using Debian since the beginning of time.

Can't replicate your results here. I play on Wayland, and deliberately force some games to run natively on Wayland (SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland) and so far I haven't noticed any framerate changes except statistical noise.

I don't use embedded lyrics myself, but AFAIK Ogg (and by extension Opus) supports embedding lyrics using OggKate. Whether your player supports lyrics embedded in Ogg, is a whole other topic…

ReplayGain is supported.

DON'T. Use 160kbps Opus instead, all modern phones should support it. You can halve the size of your library while still enjoying the quality of 320kbps mp3.

I like my .opus files.

so there must be some reason why they went this design.

Some applications have a hard zero-alloc requirement.
