Linux remaps 0.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.1 when you attempt to use it as an address…does the same thing for :: remapping it to ::1

I didn’t know KDE had layer shell 🤔. I knew it had some wlrootsy stuff but that’s interesting. Looks really nice though

All good. I do, I have 2 geographically separated load balancers that do edge caching for images on my screenshot site. The 2 load balancers are anycasted(I have my own ARIN address space) so clients are routed to the nearest PoP based on AS Path. Maybe one day I’ll add more PoPs but I only setup 2 as otherwise it’ll get kinda expensive for my personal screenshot website for little to no gain. It was mainly a, I want to setup my own CDN, rather than anything practical. I will say, when loading the home page while signed in you can SEE the load time differences in the cached images vs private images which are flagged to bypass the edge cache so it does work.

No I haven’t 🤔. That’s an interesting idea, I don’t have a blog or talk about my projects really. They’re just something for me to do and learn. I guess I just kinda assumed that since I’m using it as a learning experience I’m not really qualified to write about it

I find I ask less questions now because I’m a better programmer and just visit the site less in general. I used to ask a lot. I actually don’t find that many duplicates though, usually when I have a question there isn’t already an answer… usually because when I have a question I’m doing something insane, I find I do that a lot lol.

Consistently? Not that I can think of either but there was that one judge in the Oracle v Google Java case that I believe learned enough programming to call BS on oracle’s claims.

Meanwhile one of my projects is running my own caching CDN for my sites(personal not production)

Huh, tbh I’ve never given KDE a real try. I used it way back in the day on OpenSUSE because I wanted a windows experience but that was when I was still playing around with Linux. I’ve never used it full time. My first full time DE was cinnamon and eventually I decided I wanted something radically different and so went to gnome 3 and never really considered KDE as radically different from anything I had used before.

LOL, yeah, honestly with how hard I got ratioed it’s like I offended someone XD. I just found it an odd choice to complain about windows aesthetics and then be like “here’s my fancier windows” but to each their own. Anyway, glad you like the project and find it useful.

That’s fair, also I’m not saying KDE doesn’t have a use case, for example people who are tired of windows for one reason or another but like the windows UI. Cinnamon has a similar use case which is one of many reasons I think mint is a great starter distro. I just found it odd that somebody who didn’t like the windows UI went to that desktop over the other less Windows like desktops. Comment got ratioed so hard people seem to think I’m hating on the guy or his rice but I just find it odd to not like the windows UI and then go to one of the most Windows like desktops.

🤔 I’m actually surprised it’s THIS customizable. We’re talking functionally right? Not just style. Idk I guess I’m not a huge fan of the “start menu/task bar” and having a desktop, maybe I’m the weird one though. I ran vanilla gnome and then sway so desktops and taskbars and all of that aren’t really my thing.

Yes I do lol, not very often I get recognized in the wild. Hello.

The windows UI being boring doesn’t necessarily have to be caused by a lack of customizability. The windows UI is just a boring UI design even if you make it more customizable. Makes it better, but doesn’t fix the problem IMO.

🤔 hating the windows UI and then going to KDE which is basically a more customizable windows UI seems…odd

Last I knew you had to jailbreak. Probably still the case unless Apple has decided to allow them on the app store…but I doubt it

Discussions like this always bring me back to one thing…can a word itself be racist? Is it racist to use a word if it’s not being said with racist intent? It’s reminiscent of the gimp debacle…if a words use isn’t intended to offend it’s honestly beyond me how anyone could find it offensive. Are we supposed to ban every single word that has the slightest history of being used in an offensive fashion? Feel like we’d have a really long list if we did that.
