WhatsApp built its user base on the promise of free messaging

Really? Because initially, WhatsApp did actually charge money for the service, though it was only $1 a year. But I don’t remember them ever promising free messaging.

Fun fact, WhatsApp wasn’t even designed as a messenger in the first place, it was just meant as an app to show your status (like “at the movies”), but then evolved into one.

Well, he didn’t specify which country, but by now we know.

But the good does exist. It’s not like all kerosene has vanished.

Also, if you have a contract it might still be in your best interest to sell the contract and not take the fuel at all.

Yes, I think this might have happened, might be more lucrative to resell rights to it.

Kind of interesting. One would think these are prime customers for futures contracts and as such, their cost would have been fixed months ago. I can’t imagine the big airlines buy on the spot market.

I rather think this is a bit of a pretext to close otherwise economically unviable routes without losing slots.

But who knows, I’m not against airlines closing routes at all.

They should have just like doubled ipv4 so 192.168.1.1.1.1.1.1 at least that would have made sense

IP addresses aren’t meant to be consumed by humans, that’s what DNS is for. That being said, nothing stops you from converting IPv6 addresses to that format. Two “digits” in an IPv6 address correspond to one block in IPv4.

Also what people don’t understand is that the huge address space is not meant to to be exhausted. It provides “layers” with significant reserves to make routing easier and flexible.

Nothing is wrong with NAT

Except everything

but we’re almost out of numbers.

We are out of numbers. Just because technically there might be some unassigned or even assigned but unused numbers doesn’t mean we didn’t run out of them. There are more devices in the world connected to the Internet than IPv4 addresses exist. If you read this sentence from the standard strictly:

The internet protocol provides for transmitting blocks of data called datagrams from sources to destinations, where sources and destinations are hosts identified by fixed length addresses.

This isn’t the case with NATing as hosts are no longer identified be the address alone (but additionally other parameters like port number or TCP connection status). You can’t ICMP ping a NATted host to my knowledge because it operates on IP directly (it’s actually part of IP itself). So parts of the protocol become unusable. So just by logic, we have run out. The last remaining blocks won’t fix the issue, and rather make routing worse than it already is.

But in a totally non-gay way because they are very manly men, who are in fact not gay. Some say the most heterosexual a man can be

I don’t think it was that channel linking them.

If you’re an oil company: yes. If not: no.

What you’re implying makes no sense.

The ships passing are not “NATO owned”. They’re most likely not even ships owned by the armed forces of NATO countries apart from the US. And even if they were attacked, this is outside of the territory of the NATO member state, which is a condition for triggering article 5.

Right?

Are these right wing politicians living in their own bubble or am I? Why would anyone want to be associated with the US administration in general and Vance in particular at this time? Who looks at this and thinks “oh, the venerable vice president of the United States endorses this guy, surely I’ll give him my vote”?

There have been about 0 good news from the US in the last year. If I were a politician I’d distance myself from that trainwreck so hard

It was down two days ago too.

People love to shit on GitHub for their recent outages, turns out it’s nontrivial to host a lot of software…

Yeah, you shouldn’t use GitHub anyways (I have a paid account on sr.ht that I use for my stuff and I think it predates codeberg) but codeberg has some teething issues as well.

Anyhow, yes, if you depend on codeberg, you should consider donating

Well, technically, it’s not broken, just slower

Well, it doesn’t silently ignore files, it tells you if the work tree is dirty.

Though I’ve tripped over the different behaviors of the repl vs the rest of the tools myself in funny ways

That however was before “stone ages” threat

Firefox always has tabs, in fact even the Mozilla Application Suite had them since 2001. Gmail came out 3 years later. Though I would have thought that there were about 5 years between these events

That swiping keyboard typo happens way more often to me than it doesn’t

I totally know how NATO works (am former soldier from a NATO country), I know Mario is a defensive treaty and even if you’re a member it doesn’t mean other member nations have to cooperate with you outside of NATO related activities. So yes no NATO members need to join, and no NATO member has to support the US (even if just by allowing to use the air space) outside of NATO missions it exercises.

If Putin knows NATO is a paper tiger, why is he complaining about countries joining it? Why does he complain about NATO member countries on Russia’s borders? Surely a paper tiger isn’t detrimental to his interests? Why did they claim Russia is fighting NATO in Ukraine?

Total disconnect from reality
