Yeah sure :) People working in one of the most privileged professions on Earth are bound hand and foot with golden shackles and are forced - literally forced - to continue spreading evil throughout the world in order to keep their salaries of several hundred thousand dollars. The horror!

It's even more frightening if so. Meaning you really thought it's something users wanted.

No, it's fine. I really hope that more people will switch to something else, like Neovim, Emacs, or any other open-source editor where such unacceptable situations are practically impossible. I hope more people will start to value their privacy and right to choose, and find the courage to say gtfo and switch to something else. Because this is unforgivable.

Their point, however, is perfectly clear - it’s practically obvious. No one forced them at gunpoint (unlike those scientists, figuratively speaking). Why are you pretending not to understand?

No it's me - I'm tired too, and I misread you)

Got it, makes sense. It just seems more like an architectural decision to me than something related to the network stack - that's why I got confused. You can come up with your own convention and use it within a local network. One of the downsides of this approach - it will clutter up the routing table, but that’s probably not a big deal.

I usually prefer to use some kind of demultiplexer, like a reverse proxy, to handle the conversions.

Check out this book:

Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook by Evi Nemeth et al.

I'm pretty sure Arch wiki is worth reading, too.

Yeah, but I mean you just have to have something on the transport layer, you can't just encapsulate application layer into network skipping network, that's not how the network stack works.

People will do anything to avoid learning the basics. Nothing new.

What do you mean? You’ll still have to use TCP or UDP over IPv6, and both of those protocols use ports. Nothing is stopping you from creating a transport protocol that doesn’t use ports if you want to, but that has nothing to do with the network layer.

> a spaced repetition thing

anki?...

That's true, at least for most internet service providers. You're just nitpicking for the sake of it.

This whole thread is just bonkers. Dude stop pretending you don't understand the situation here. It's been explained to you multiple times.

lol great way to lose an argument.

Good for them.

And the results are just awful.

How's that a problem? The tool has "sync" in its name. It's a feature.

I've been using Immich for some months now, it was just "install and forget" experience. Updating it to a new version also was very easy.

> I do recognize the great value the adtech industry provides to society

good one, very funny.

You should read the article. Also you should pay more attention, I wasn't saying that, you're responding to a wrong person.

You should read the article first.

I have and deeply regret the wasted time.

That's an evil thing to say. No, that's not true.

Stop whining and admit you're wrong.

> Language evolves

That's just another way of saying "words don't have meanings". Yes, it evolves, but to preserve the original meanings, that evolution should be slowed down as much as possible to avoid “black is white” effects.

No it's not.

What do you mean? P2P is commonplace, for example, in IP telephony, and obviously in many other cases.

> should the world not have yachts?

Maybe? Things like super yachts are just offensive.

Well, at least someone understood.

You should read it again.
