Pregante? What is that? Is that how babby formed?

So, if you would, help me out with the ‘why’ part

It eliminates a single point of failure, can be used to bypass censorship, and allow for community support/engagement in a way that is harder to track and suppress (in that there’s no ‘central’ hub and you have to go after nodes individually. From an opsec point of view, you’re still broadcasting a signal that someone in range can pick up). Obviously it requires many devices to make a good mesh work, but short of DOSing every channel or just blowing out the signal space, it’s gonna be hard to take that down.

I see it as something like tor or i2p, not something for general use at the moment, but definitely has good uses.

There’s not really too much of a debate, just a lack of deep understanding of how the infrastructure works under the hood.

The other person (rightly) doesn’t want to share their local network (what’s behind your wifi router) with their neighbors. My only point was that, much like current ISPs, you don’t share any networking with your neighbors. The only thing remotely close to ‘shared’ would be the individual uplinks (your ISP connection) from each residence to the (shared) networking gear of the ISP.

A local ISP and a Telco aren’t (shouldn’t) going to be handling the base networking layer any differently. They’ll all have individual connections between them and subscribers, and the only way that I could get into your network is to setup services and configure either side to talk to the service on the other.

To actually ELI5 (which I am exceptionally bad at with actual 5yos), Alice and Bob both get their toys from Charles (Telco ISP) who charges a lot of money, and doesn’t treat them well when they try to use the toys they got. Dan comes a long and works with Ed and Fred to set up a local toy store and try to treat customers better. Bob (irmadlad) is concerned that the new local toy store means he’ll have to share the toys he bought with Alice, not realizing neither store makes you share your toys.

This is just vendor swag that someone realized could be a whole product line

why would I want to hook my uplink to someone else’s network

Well, the biggest reason I could think of is that you want to access the Internet.

Your local network is only as good as the services you run, and most people don’t self host. If you choose not to hook your uplink to your ISPs network, you’re not gonna be able to do all that much.

Oh I get how it would all work, I’m not into sharing my network.

See, I’m struggling to think that you do. You’re not sharing your network with anyone. You’re just hooking your uplink into someone else’s network, who will take as much (or more, given how fucky current ISPs are) care to keep you and your neighbors from talking to each other without your own config letting it happen.

There is a user here that mentioned he is in funding talks for a local, independent ISP. I’m not really sure I’m ready to be connected to my neighbors intimately. Good fences make good neighbors.

Why do you think an independent ISP would operate any differently at the networking level on a per-customer basis? This is basic network segmentation, and my home gear can do that pretty easily. Throw each customer on their own vlan that’s a /30 and they can’t do anything more than talk from their node to the central router.

Good firewalls make good digital neighbors, and an independent ISP isn’t going to survive long if Alice can access Bob’s home network over the ISP without having something specifically configured in Bob’s network to allow that.

That is definitely odd behavior. Multiple sessions is a server side setting, so your Linux system shouldn’t be able to do that without windows being ok with it. As for the resolution issue, it might be a config issue in your client. Give another client a shot, or see if there’s a way to configure the client to use smart sizing. I can’t recall which app I use on my system, but I can’t say I’ve ever had an issue with scaling between connected and remote connected sessions.

Interesting. I ditched team green years ago and have been running rock solid since. My Nvidia GPU was always the reason I went back to windows. Sorry to hear your ryzen rig stopped, have you looked for a bios update? Might be something simple like that (assuming your disk didn’t shit the bed).

Can’t say I’ve had any rdp issues on Bazzite, what’s it doing?

It also has a lot to do with who you choose to partner with.

I’m poly and in a semi-open relationship with my two partners, but we all started as monogamous and eventually branched out. One of my former partners was poly for a while, but after getting with a mono partner, she decided to marry and have them as their only partner. They miss some of the poly aspects, but they’re happy in their relationship and get some of them from BDSM play as well

. I wouldn’t move to 11 if support continued for 10.

Which is exactly the reason they’re ending support.

If you don’t have a reason to stay, Linux is definitely worth a shot. I moved from 10 to Bazzite in my rig earlier in the year, and it’s been pretty solid.

Maybe your model was build different, I only have a seam on the underside of my balls, my dick only has a seam going around where I was mutilated as a child, nothing on the underside

TIL about ozenpic face being what happens when you lose weight and the skin doesn’t tighten up after removing the excess

I had a buddy I went to college with who I saw 4-5 years later who lost like 300+ sounds and looked like that. Well before ozenpic.

Go into a trade that’s in demand. My sister in law is studying plumbing and basically had a job before she graduated her CC program since she had an on the job / not internship with someone

I can’t ghost my dad/his family because he beat me to the punch and ghosted me >20 years ago

That if you can’t find something or something doesn’t work, it will continue to be missing/not work until you complain about it to someone, at which point it will start working/show up and you look silly.

Kyle’s Law is harsh, but fair (and rather annoying)

Malicious compliance does wonders to solve issues with stupid rules. One of my “favorite” gigs was full of me going “we’ve done it this way for a while, despite policy saying to do it this other way, can we update policy to just have us do it the right way instead of the documented way”, being told “no, do it by policy”, then a week or two of me doing it by policy before being told “policy is updated to <what I said it should have been from the start>”.

And yeah, it’s amazing how much simple clarifying questions can frustrate the “ideas guy” who just wants an idea with no clue how to get there.

May I introduce you to my Lord and savior, the recap email.

“As per our conversation on <date>, we discussed <topic> and had the following points/action items…”

I’ve only ever had one job where these emails were not appreciated (current job most send them by default), and man was it fun pissing off people outside of my command chain by documenting the shit they wanted off record.
