Any chance you're willing to share your scripts? I'm interested in trying out NAT traversal, too, and was starting to research ways to simulate all the different types.

If you're on Windows and need a VM, why not use Hyper-V? I haven't touched anything from VMWare in decades, so I'm genuinely curious.

I find it interesting that the e-book costs over 4x the paperback from Amazon, which I just ordered.

> need to pull out a wireless keyboard & mouse to watch netflix

I run Kodi on a Raspberry Pi for this exact reason. The Pi's HDMI has CEC support built-in, which means the TV's remote works seamlessly with Kodi's UI. This works great for my Netflix needs.

Unfortunately, most (all?) PC graphics don't do CEC out of the box. I've seen USB adapters that can add this functionality to PCs but I've never tried any of them.

I'm so glad I've been playing around with OpenWRT lately. I bought a second router a while back just to experiment with it and now I have automatic fail-over between two ISPs (with mwan3) and WPA2 Enterprise (with FreeRadius).

Needless to say, my Netgear R7000P will soon be decommissioned. I wish it were officially supported on OpenWRT because it's got a good amount of RAM and flash that could have been put to better use.

I thought it was possible to host your own sync server for Firefox. Is this no longer true?

This happens to me, too. At some level, I think it's a function of my mind deciding to only retain what's novel and filter out the day-to-day noise. Perhaps my dinner from two days ago was simply not remarkable enough to remember. But the 8 year old me probably found every day to be a new and wondrous experience.

Almost every major passenger airline is retiring their 747s. The only ones still in the air are the 747-8, which are relatively new, and cargo planes.

No idea about Australia, but where I live I get ice creams with an ingredient list that looks like this:

Milk, Figs & Sugar

Of course I can also get ice creams with all of the stuff you've listed, too, but the option exists.

I'd imagine that one of the perks of sovereignty is that no one, other than your own army, is obliged to protect you.

Every 2 to 3 days? My Windows 10 machines need an update maybe once a month.

I've never used a protector before and I had my first screen breakage just a few days ago. It's repairable, but I decided I wanted a new phone (it's been a while).

I just cannot believe the utterly idiotic designs on the newest phones. Who thought it was a smart idea to put glass on the back? This phone doesn't even do wireless charging. It has no physical requirement to have glass on the back, and yet here we are. My new phone has fallen off the couch twice now -- all by itself. I'm now conscious about how I hold it in my hands because I feel like it might just slither out.

It feels like phones today are designed to be broken easily. So, yes, now I have a protector that makes my brand new phone look like a piece of crap.

That's a good point. I suppose the goal is that your right to a judicial process must become inalienable, much like your rights to life and freedom that cannot be waived contractually.
