    And yet somehow even after the magical running out of them and everything is going to be on fire ipv4 is still working just fine. Nothing is wrong with NAT not every single device needs its own unique address.

    Don’t get me wrong I would be fine with expanding it but they did it in the dumbest possible way imaginable. It’s not human readable , it’s a pain in the ass to work with. I just have to look everything up anytime I need to manage it, and I am sure as f*** never going to be able to memorize an address.

    They should have just like doubled ipv4 so 192.168.1.1.1.1.1.1 at least that would have made sense



  • It’s pretty funny reading the comments because honestly I would generally agree with the meme. But I’m coming at this from the perspective of a systems administrator and when it comes to dealing with networking and security most of the people I see coming out of college with degrees don’t know a goddamn thing. Their courses are like 10 years out of date and not even remotely relevant to the real world but because they spent so much money on getting it they are very inflexible about changing how they were taught.

    Meanwhile when I find somebody out on the street who just has had a passion for computers since they were like five they tend to be extremely on top of current security and networking needs and more than willing to be flexible and change how things are done when the situation calls for it.

    You can actually fix this in the settings there’s an option for permanent prompt tunings and you can add things like “focus on concise answers” or my favorite " i don’t need to be glazed , I don’t need to be told that it’s an insightful question or reaches the heart of the matter. Just focus on answering the question"



  • I think you misunderstand. They are making technical decisions that are incompatible with ux decisions. In order to make a better user experience they would need to change how the protocol was made, thus undoing thing that they chose for technical reasons.

    Like the way they chose to do the custom emoji makes sense on a technical level for a de Federated protocol but it also is fundamentally incompatible with a good user experience. Same with the forest verification of devices that’s bad ux even if it is technically better


  • No it doesn’t, matrix was designed by people with no concept of ux. It focuses on things that are technically correct but something average people won’t put up with. Like the forced verification of devices, normal people don’t care and don’t understand what that even is and will be annoyed that every time they try to log in they are prompted to insert a stupid key just so that they can see their chat history.

    Doesn’t help that tons of the clients especially the web one can’t be bothered to remember being authenticated and you have to do it literally every time but even with that fix just having to do that in general is going to put people off.

    Then there’s just a bunch of base protocol stuff that’s dumb the way they finally implemented custom emoji is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen and makes what should be a simple easy click to add a sticker and then use it turn into this complicated mess that nobody’s going to bother with. On a technical level it made sense sure but on a user experience level it makes no sense at all.

    And I say this is someone that self-hosts basically anything I can get my hands on, I’ve got Seafile, immich, piped, jellyfin, microbin, among various others. I keep trying matrix and keep finding myself getting annoyed enough to stop using it



  • The problem is that there isn’t really anywhere to Exodus to. I already know people here on Lemmy are going to say Matrix but that’s just not an option. It’s trash, the protocol was designed by idiot neck beards that have never heard the term UX. Pretty much everything was done in a way that while technically speaking is efficient makes it unbelievably tedious to actually use and in some cases just outright annoying ensuring that users will never want to use it. Most recent example is forcing device verification, it is technically correct, it is better from a security standpoint it is better from a verifiability standpoint. But for the average user who could not give less of a shit about that it is nothing more than something that pisses them off and annoys them every single time they open the application because despite the fact that they should be remembering at least in my testing it almost never does and I have to put in my stupid key every single God damn time especially if I’m using it in the browser.

    Teamspeakers trying to rebuild itself to be more Discord like but it’s still in early beta and not at all ready for it so that’s not an option, and everything else is pretty much either just as shit or just as likely to implement this tomorrow as Discord




  • It’s because people lack the ability to subjectively look at all possible aspects of life. They latch on to one thing that’s better and say that means the entire country is better. For example China objectively has better public transportation and infrastructure around things like internet and cellular despite also being an absolutely massive land mass. Pretty much anywhere has objectively better health care than the USA. So if those things have been causing them grief lately in their life they are going to latch on to that and declare that the country that has the better that is better in general even if there are other aspects not related to those subjects that would ultimately make life much worse

    Because that increases the cost exponentially. As soon as you do grid connected with sellback there is a huge amount of red tape and the power company has to be involved then Blueprints and only approved installers can do the work.

    Offgrid self consumption you can just do yourself. I spent roughly $20,000 on my stuff. But that got me a full pallet of 30 panels, 30 kWh of battery, 16,000 watts of inverter output.

    For $20,000 most solar installers won’t even talk to you, at best they’ll give you like a small handful of panels and an inverter with no batteries. For a setup similar to mine you’d be looking at like minimum of $90,000 for grid tied from an installer. It just doesn’t make financial sense.

    It’s honestly criminal the upcharge that solar installers take. It’s not even difficult work the NEC is freely available to all and while it is a lot of reading it’s less than a Harry Potter novel I was able to get through it all get my installation done and then had a master electrician come out and inspect it. Passed, it’s just about making sure you use the correct gauge of wire, make sure everything is spaced how it should be, make sure you have Breakers and disconnects in the correct places. Definitely not worthy of the ridiculous amount of money solar installers are charging
