doubletwist , to Programmer Humor in Happy 30th birthday to RFC 1631 ("NAT"), the "short term solution" we all rely on

Well again, I'm only using /24 chunks of it.

The main reason I went with it is that it's far faster for me to type "10.0.x.x" than to type "192.168.x.x", especially on the keypad.

I use 10.x.x.x addresses at home, though split into /24 networks in each vlan.

I have the same issue (TRIPLE NAT'd! One of which is the CGNAT). Unfortunately I have external family that accesses from media boxes/TVs so those won't work for me.

Thankfully I was able to get a small VPS server for $2/mo and set up some reverse tunnels with auto-ssh. Seems to be working fairly well so far.

All that said, I longingly look forward to the future when I don't have to worry about NAT.

Because up until Broadcom bought them, it was a good product with a ton of useful features, endless supported integrations with 3rd party software and hardware, relatively easy to learn/use, with good support, all at reasonable and flexible price points depending on your needs.

Of course Broadcom has now thrown all of that into the toilet...

Steam had been making Linux pretty darn good for gaming too, even for games that are technically Windows only.

doubletwist , to Ask Lemmy in What is the weirdest flavoured thing you've had?

Yup. Looks like I'm making a trip to Dallas this weekend...

doubletwist , to Ask Lemmy in What is the weirdest flavoured thing you've had?

They have one called "Pink Drink". It's not available bottled, The only place I ever had it was at Austin City limits Festival a few years before the pandemic. It's kind of a Prickly-pear Lemonade flavored soda. It was without a doubt the most delicious, refreshing beverage I have ever consumed, and the fact that I've never been able to find it since then is actually one of the biggest disappointments of my life.

I had garlic ice cream at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California. Everyone leaving the free sample line had the exact same expression on their face as they tried the first taste:

Slightly scrunched up have with an expression that said, "I was really expecting this to be horrible but it's not bad. Not great, but not bad."

There's a phrase you might give useful/insightful.

"Trust, but verify"

I use auto pay extensively so that if I forget (ADHD, yay) it still gets paid. But I do (try to) check every month that all the auto pay stuff did trigger properly.

doubletwist , to Technology in Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose

The problem isn't them being in you LAN. It's about going to an untrusted network (eg Starbucks, hotel) and connecting to your VPN, boom, now your VPN connection is compromised.

doubletwist , to retrocomputing in A quick look back at BeOS, the PC operating system that tried to challenge Windows and Mac

Not only could it do full motion video, but it could, on a 200Mhz Pentium MMX CPU, rotate an OpenGL cube on any axis with a different video running on all six sides, and do so smoothly and without any lag or video stuttering. It was incredible what they were able to do back then. Hell I'm not entirely convinced Windows could pull that off now!
