i think it does though, tech literacy is a huge boon to personal productivity, and work productivity. There is almost no scenario in which being somewhat tech literate isn’t good for you, i think it’s more like written language.

single worst human invention ngl

if you do it for sustained periods for long periods of time, you should probably think about investing in one of those fancy ortholinear keyboards, or whatever works best for you. Maybe switch to dvorak or azerty for funsies or something.

if you don’t type very regularly, it’s probably not as big of a deal.

Z is not savvy. They’re basically boomers when it comes to tech. It always worked so it should work. None of our z staff can fix a printer and in fact none are allowed to

they can be savvy, it just depends on how based and tech pilled they are. If they’ve only ever used a phone for example, they aren’t. If they use linux as a daily driver, they definitely are.

Statistically, on average, gen z is less likely to be tech savvy though.

although in defense of gen z, fuck printers.

I can see the alphas railing against the term “tablet-fed”. They are NOT gonna like that.

they’ll just yell at millenials and genz for raising them like that lmao

80wpm is pretty common for a typical average typing speed for anybody who can touch type, 100wpm is more common among programmers, and people who do a lot of typing. Anything faster than that and you have had hand injuries and use a fancy keyboard now, or you will soon have hand injuries.

typing speed is rather funny.

and this is why i believe that having “user accessible” UI is actually bad, now im not saying every computer needs to use punch cards. I’m just saying that we need to establish some sort of standard for competence here. Linux is a really good example here.

some additional info about USB. If your cable/connector is old, idk how old is requred, the names and standards are actually completely different now than they used to be, but they’re adopted into the new standards, so you have to keep this in mind when trying to recognize this stuff.

thanks USB forum, you guys are the best :)

this is also true, but they do have a very successful platform, even though their two primary ventures youtube, and google, don’t seem to be immediately productive, though i guess google drive storage is probably a different cost to a platform like discord since it’s something people use every day.

the only realistic scenario in which you would use a NAT under IPv6 is if you felt like using IPv4 addresses internally. Outside of that it serves very little purpose.

that’s literally what a stateful firewall does.

It only allows corresponding return traffic to outgoing traffic that a device has internally sent outwards.

if you disabled that, it wouldn’t do that. But even a NAT without a stateful firewall might end up doing this depending on how it’s configured and your open ports due to how the forwarding is handled. This is how we get around NATing for P2P traffic, though the trick is to just send two NATed users to the others ip and port at the same time to establish a connection that can “isAlive” from there. If you had no firewall you would only need to know the IP and port to do this.

plus not to mention you can run internal firewalls on each device specifically which would do basically the same thing anyway. But then again i don’t use windows so that’s way easier.

i guess we should ask google how they’re doing with the 15gb of free storage thing.

brother, use a firewall. NAT does nothing for this, a single stateful firewall will do more for device security than a NAT existing solely by itself.

A nat doesn’t even do anything other than provide some basic level of device anonymity. If you didn’t have a firewall it would still be accessible, you would just need to either be really good at guessing ports, or sniff for traffic that’s relevant lol.

we really do live in a dystopia don’t we.

Anyway this seems like a great excuse to not limit the file uploads, and just pay for more storage considering you could like, sell it, but what do i know.

yeah, under IPv6 based home networking, you just assign a block of addresses to a home, 512 or something, for example, and then you just use a stateful firewall to do the same exact thing that a NAT + a stateful firewall would be doing on a traditional IPv4 network.

Nothing stops you from using a NAT if you felt like you wanted your networking to be more complicated for no reason. But you probably shouldn’t.

There are potential benefits for the anonymization of traffic (though this is probably easy enough to defeat by simply sniffing for all traffic across the IP block) a denial of service wouldn’t be super important anymore, as you could just engage in round robin across the other IPs, unless of course you DOS’d every IP all at once, but that would be super fucking obvious and trivial to deal with. Though it might kill an individual computer in the network due to traffic influx.

You could still engage in DHCP IP handouts, which would actually be beneficial in terms of traffic anonymization in this case. Especially on a high frequency basis. Similar to the effects of NATing on an IPv4 network.

Plus you could still grab a static IP address per device, and then just pass through firewall rules to allow external connections or whatever you please. No forwarding required.

not big enough.

seems like a skill issue to me. Surely they would delete them on the banishment of a server, old servers die pretty frequently. Channels are deleted. Etc.

this is true, but the problem is that it’s really complicated, and not always reliable. Mostly due to NATing within the networks. Firewalls don’t help but you can get around those easily enough.

There’s no guarantee that you’ll get a reliable P2P network connection over a NAT unless one peer isn’t NATed. Which is unlikely.

TL;DR we would probably ddos the internet very quickly if we tried at the scale of something like discord.

it doesn’t need NAT topology, at all. There is literally zero reason to use it. Direct P2P networking is so much easier over ipv6

IF ONLY WE COULD USE IPV6 WE WOULDNT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM

YES FUCK YOU TOO COMCAST.
