IPv6: Fuck you, you’re only allowed one, now. Yeah, yeah, I know there are about 340 undecillion addresses in the space, but I know better than you, no one in history has ever needed to bind different services to the same port on the loopback interface, and if they did they were doing it wrong. Oh you made an RFC draft? Well I let the one from 2015 expire, so good luck with your current proposal, pleb.

241·3 days agoYour reasoning is so faulty that, given the choice between being forced to eat 1kg of shit and 10kg of shit, knowing that no choice made it more likely to be the latter, you would say ‘It doesn’t matter, we’re being forced to eat shit!’ then end up eating 10kg of shit, because protesting did not disempower those who would do that to you.
If you had preferential voting, you could vote for no shit over any, and less over more, but you don’t, so you can’t.
Nah, your compost pile doesn’t give a shit, and because modern diets have so little fibre, your colon has trouble giving a shit, too.

Is this what George suffered from?
According to whencanireusethiscalendar.com, for 2027, you could rustle up a classic nude calendar from 1999, a popular era for them, or something completely random like this.

Firefox@lemmy.ml•Firefox's new ad: "It’s time to come back to Firefox. The Internet you loved is still here."
1·10 days agoFYI, Firefox still has a profile manager, good for separating work and personal life. That makes the password manager very portable as you can sign into different Mozilla accounts in each one, to keep distinct sets of sync data. It’s easy to create a separate shortcut/launcher file that starts up a secondary profile by adding these arguments to the command:
-P yourprofilenameHowever, I gave up on the inbuilt password manager. It’s too simple, you can’t edit entry labels, edit URLs (e.g. when site’s main domain changes), or store anything other than usernames and passwords (e.g. notes).

Solarpunk@slrpnk.net•Tofu is the winner. Scientist creates new holistic scoring system to measure the impact of food
1·14 days agoYes, and also from the article is that their average tofu consumed per capita per annum is 8kg. With a population of nearly 290 million, that’s a lot of tofu. Obviously it’s not all produced that way, but it’s not insignificant. Did you read the bit about dioxin levels?
100% slopola. Look at the patterns on the background ingredients, and some of the main subjects. Beans and grains(?) do not align like that in a bowl. It has more detail but still stuffs up basic shit, e.g. almost no sauce stuck to the inside of the can, mid-pour.

34·15 days agoI’m sure it’d still score highly if not, but I wonder if the study accounts for the burning of plastic to cook it? https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/may/10/tofu-plastic-indonesia
Yes, we’re most certainly talking about different things.











So the onus is on every individual user, to pick a random ULA prefix, bind specific addresses from it to the loopback interface, which is a different procedure for different OSes, probably requires root or elevated privileges, can have hard limits on, document it, etc. Greeeeaaaaaaat design. IPv6 gives out
/64like they’re about to turn bad, but can’t spare a/104? Gimme a break.I can dig a hole with a spoon, too, but if someone made it so that no one was allowed to dig holes with shovels unless they build their own (and have permission to build the shovel), when previously everyone was allowed to dig with shovels, I would not think highly of that person’s wisdom.
Maybe you think G. Huston of APNIC and W. Kumari of Google don’t really know what they’re talking about?
