Relevant XKCD for the OP https://xkcd.com/1053

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)

I would love to start using ipv6 but my ISP decided that their devices won’t support prefix delegation because “nobody uses ipv6 and nothing works with it”

Can it even make sense tho? To me JS is an example of a not too good thing that people started too eagerly so now they’re trying to make it make sense.

I know it was different times, but if my kid was so afraid of not doing homework to the point of breaking into the house through the basement window, I would consider it a huge failure on my side.

Certainly loud, but I think the way forward should have been engineering a quieter version instead of going back to plastic. And in the meantime use idk… a bowl?

Edit: use a bowl, meaning put the crisps in the bowl when you open them if the noise bothers you

I mean, isn’t it?

Joke on you until the python program segfaults

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

As long as they provide appropriate sources then it doesn’t really matter who they are
