Feels like Sony has gone full “bean counter” mode in the last year or so. Maybe because of the AI bubble and the general state of the economy, but could also be due to changes in leadership.

A third take is that they are unhinged cult members who are high on their own supply. Although I expect it’s a mix of both types (maybe within the same people).

They do, but it’s an arms race and assessors have limited time. And if you get it wrong (and they didn’t use AI) then you’ve put an innocent person through a process that can be rather degrading.

So it ends up being that only the most egeregious cases get addressed and the smarter cheats get through.

For tailscale, unless you need different ACLs for every user, you could instead have additional friends share a single user and then you’re only limited by the quite high device cap. Or self-host headscale on a VPS and then there are no user limits.

Guix is lovely but it has a lot fewer packages and a few of its own quirks too. It’s still on my list to test again when I get some time, though.

I’m down for the first two, especially since “shoebox” likely means anything smaller than a giant McMansion to park multiple giant trucks and SUVs, and a bunch of crap no-one needs.

The third feels unnecessary when plants exist, but more power to those that want it.

It’s likely an outdated guide. Comaps forked only recently from organic maps.

If you’re in the US, it’s because all of the major ISPs siphoned up much of the ipv4 address space so they can still offer it to everyone.

In Australia, on the other hand, most ISPs provide CGNAT by default, although most of them offer a free opt-out and have ipv6. Mobile services are also typically CGNAT, although many offer ipv6 + 464XLAT (an ipv4 compatibility mode using ipv6).

In developing countries some sort of ipv6 solution is almost universal, particularly those with higher populations such as India, since it would cost an absurd amount of money to buy up that amount of ipv4 address space today.

All his posts are like that. They are a great “chuck on your ereader” type thing.

Have you tried koreader? It’s not perfect, but if the screen is large enough it normally works pretty well. I use it on a Kobo reader, but it works on Android as well (not sure about iOS).

This website is like 10 years old from memory, well before grid-scale batteries were widespread (well they still aren’t in many countries).
