Yeah, right now in order to do it without giving up a bunch of services you have to combine it with NAT64+DNS64. NAT64 maps the entire IPv4 space to a /96 of your chosing and then DNS64 will generate AAAA records based on that /96 when upstream doesn't provide one so clients can talk pure v6 even to v4 only sites. There are some services (steam client and discord voice calls) that require v4 addressing and won't work with this setup, but it gets you 98% of the way there.

I feel the same, btrfs is such a core part of my system at this point it would be hard to go anywhere else

I love how mastodon is on here as if that is trivial to block. Guess you can block the official upstream distribution but blocking all instances would be a nightmare

You definitely can do this. Unless this is an extremely recent change or only done outside the US

Apparently it only impacts officially compiled versions. Guess I'll just stay away from those? I run librewolf anyway and that aside I'm on Linux where officially compiled versions aren't even the norm. Chrome is definitely not my answer

Honestly I'd just hand write a CSV parser, they aren't that complicated ESPECIALLY if you don't care about having commas in your data because then you don't need to quote wrap the entries but that's just me.

I'd argue any solution necessitates secure boot, not just the efistub. If someone is determined enough to modify your kernel they'll be determined enough to modify your bootloader

Yes, honestly this situation reminds me a lot of the LTT trying Linux and destroying his system by installing steam despite apt warning him in the best way it really could that he probably didn't want to do that. Sure the package shouldn't have been in that state in a stable distro but shit happens. It goes to that point of, users will go through great lengths to achieve the end goal blindly jumping past warnings on the way no matter how dire they might be.

I do whenever there is a vulnerability of note. I don't do it on a regular basis though.

The legal definition of piracy in regard to digital content isn't stealing. You cannot steal digital media as stealing by definition means the owner of the content is no longer able to sell it. If you steal an apple they can't sell it because you have it. Piracy of digital media is only copyright infringement, which is still illegal but regardless of how you feel about piracy it is fundamentally not theft.

Not a C++ developer, I prefer C. You are right in general however my understanding is that classes which are generic using templates must be fully implemented in header files because of how templates are implemented. That being said this code doesn't appear to use templates so I'm not entirely sure I get it either?

🤔...is this a new requirement? I have 2 accounts. Neither with phone numbers and it's never asked me for one
