Maybe that’s it.

Eh. I’m American. I love grumpy British humor roasting us. This article was more “old man screams at cloud”.

Basically, we’ve been called worse by better. This roast was hardly worth an amused tsking.

That’s exactly right. Every time I heard hand-wringing about some right-wing person getting suspended, it’d inevitably trace back to that person saying something incredibly outlandish, racist, or otherwise rule breaking. I did not see one example of anyone being suspended for being a Republican. Not one. Zero.

And for households with kids, it's easy to imagine that turning into 30 hours a month, or $12 by your reasonable estimate. That's not a huge number, but I'm sure that'd push almost any streaming service into negative territory. I don't know what the average service's profit margins are, but highly doubt any of them could absorb that kind of hit.

Love it. Thanks!

How soon will that be, do you suppose? It's not a blocker for most of my projects, but I can think of a few that I'd like to keep more closed (while still making them publicly cloneable). That doesn't keep me from using Tangled today for the open repos. It just means I'd need to have at least a couple of sharing setups - Tangled plus Forgejo - going at the same time for a while.

Also, will Tangled support private repos that are only visible or fetchable to specific people? Would that even make sense in its model?

Got it. I'm still trying slightly unsuccessfully to wrap my head around this, but I've run a Mastodon instance for about 10 years and it took me a little while to wrap my head around that, too.

This is great. I'm delighted at the idea of having my own knot hosting my projects, talking to my friend's knot, and coordinating on a global project's knot, all without having to lock everyone into one centralized point of failure (even mine). Amazing. I love it!

I’m excited about this direction. I’ve moved most of my own projects onto my own Forgejo, but miss it being easy for remote strangers to open PRs and such without registering in my system, which I have zero desire to allow.

So what’s the state of Tangled today? Say I have a Tangled server (instance? host?) up and running with my repos. Some stranger wants to contribute. What do they have to do before they can open issues or send PRs or whatever?

I learned very quickly that computers are simultaneously really smart and really dumb. That's served me well over the years.

I think I typed in the terminal program from the book to start. That’s the day I learned that not every computer agreed what number “a” is.

An older peer quickly set me up with a better terminal on a floppy.

This got me online, dialing first to my buddy, whose dad almost bought him a modem. We chatted a few times and that was fun. I found BBSes. He wasn’t into it. The rest is history.

Very weird take, and not supported by facts or evidence, but OK.

> The 50% stat is really mostly mobile phones on cellular networks, which remain the _only_ major success story for IPv6.

The largest ISPs in the US are Comcast, AT&T, Charter, Verizon, T-Mobile, Starlink, and Google Fiber. They all support IPv6. The only top-10 US provide that didn't support it is Frontier Communications, who is rolling it out.

In other words, the biggest companies who actually do this for a living all demonstrate that you're wrong.

As to your questions, read up on IPv6 ULA which solves all of them. None of the hosts on my LAN depend on having an outbound connection.

> Most security conscious operators would only allow IPv4 instead of IPv6.

I strongly disagree. That's obsolete knowledge, thrown around by people who want to be considered security conscious but haven't actually updated their knowledge in many years. A statement with similar implications might be "security conscious operators require their users to rotate their passwords monthly", which is what a lot of people use to think a decade ago, and now what it really communicates is that you're talking to a dinosaur.

I’ll be frank: I no longer care enough about SO to bother with researching it. The results of all the rules lawyering and purity tests ruined the fun of it for me — and according to the graphs, everyone else, too. It just wasn’t enjoyable anymore. I like answering questions and teaching and explaining. I don’t like spending more than 0% of my time dicking around with gatekeepers.

No amount of “you’re holding it wrong” could convince me that the millions of people who wanted to use it the way it was broadly described were truly doing it wrong. The payoff for slavishly doing things the “right” moderator-approved way just wasn’t worth the effort.
