Ipv4 is one of those things that works awesome, is simple, and is a victim of its own success. Ipv6 is just complicated bloat of a standard. Cool features, but nobody implements them, so useless.

In 30 years, probably useful. Until then, I’m not giving up Ipv4.

Who can afford the performance hit?

My production server running Win XP Home has to have the firewall off just to make all the super secret company internal networks work. SFTP would cripple us!

/s, except about the performance hit being stupidly unacceptable in 2024.

You will pry ftp from my cold dead hands.

Yup. I remember when we had to tear our own half sheets of paper towel. Kids today have it too soft, and absorbant.

It’s a conditional branch… You make that into a loop. Branch if zero, branch if not zero, etc.

Ah yes the X86 instruction set for mapping.

Everything is a conditional branch loop. Always has been.

Directly from many venues. And some ticket sellers that aren’t owned by them. Some smaller venues use them, and some artsier places.

But for the mega concerts, I just don’t go where Ticketmaster holds the venue contract. I fly and see who I want elsewhere.

Haven’t bought anything on Ticketmaster or their owned companies in years. And I generally go to 2 to 5 live shows a month.

This and their policy towards VPNs means I won’t support them.

One reason I’ve stopped using reddit entirely. They require fingerprinting you. If you do a good job and they can’t fingerprint you, you get that screen. It is NOT blocked by IP of the VPN as some here have said. You can easily see the content through the same VPN while not logged on as long as you have enough identifiable tracking information to reasonably guess who you are.

It’s a great test now. If I’m ever let into view reddit now, I must have seriously screwed up somewhere in my security chain.

Perfectly well said.

It’s infuriating to have to split a banking app off the VPN tunnel because they deem that secure. Or that 2FA over SMS which is inherently insecure and spoofable is acceptable and REQUIRED versus an RSA key or authenticator app.

It’s pushing me into grumpy old man territory quickly. My bank swapped to some of these requirements for their app last year so now I phone in on an international VOIP number over VPN and can do all my banking. It’s absolutely insane that’s its an acceptable form of communication over my secure device in my hand, but it’s easier to call the line like an octagenerian, give them digits off of a debit card, and be able to wire money in and out and around all my accounts. I see why scammers have such an easy time.

Just sounds like you have battery optimizations on. Thats the default
