You may have better friends than me. I’ve had people say that it’s “disrespectful” because I must be focusing more on what they said vs what they’re now saying or something stupid IDK.

I have to turn subtitles off in games or else I will get too frustrated by the voice acting and do exactly that. I had to force myself to listen to the wonderful VA work in Baldur’s Gate 3.

If someone needs to be overly organized I would be more likely to assume they are just on the ASD now, but I definitely remember people joking about OCD like you’re saying. I have AuDHD (high functioning autism and ADHD) but that wasn’t in the DSM until like 2014, so as a kid I just got the ADHD diagnosis. Now it makes so much more sense why I feel like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde sometimes. My autistic traits desire organization and cleanliness but my ADHD is good at “filtering” the mess out until it gets REALLY bad. Then I go into a cleaning frenzy ala old lady Sophie trying to clean Howl’s castle. Sadly I don’t have the grit of Sophie so I end up getting burnt out and being unable to clean anything for two months.

You might have gotten in before they added the H lol. My diagnosis in the early 90s was called just ADD. They hadn’t added the “hyperactive” part yet. The name does it a disservice though because it isn’t an attention deficit, it is in fact the exact opposite. I have too much attention - I just can’t always pick where that attention goes.

https://add.org/adhd-test/ do yourself a favor and take this. Or you could ask your primary care provider to refer you to see a therapist or a psychologist and ask them to administer an ADHD screener (Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1)). With any luck that will be enough to get you a referral to a psychiatrist who can actually prescribe medication. I was diagnosed as a child and re-diagnosed a year ago and my doctor said the fact that I responded well to medication was enough confirmation for her. Good luck!

edit If you ask doctor google, you could also be pregnant so maybe get that checked out as well! (/s)

I re-watch Enterprise regularly and I STILL immediately think of Sterling Archer instead of Johnathan Archer D=

I’m more interested in these bail peprs, I wonder what the conversion rate is?

The microcomputers (raspberry pi, arduino, whatever) could have a modern network interface and relay the communication to the embedded devices over oldschool serial. But yeah, straight DNS wouldn’t work. I like the idea though, gonna start posting my 10 favorite IP addresses on a piece of paper on the fridge. Who needs excel!

Oh, now that you mention it I’ve never tried to map a static DNS entry to a device without DNS. Welp, time to get thousands of raspberry pi’s to act as IP KVMs!

On my home network I make sure that my PDs are the same as my VLAN IDs so that I can at least know where a device is based on its IP. If I was smart I would also line them up with the IPv4 subnets as well.

I was going to say, my friend has to maintain some fucking DOS systems because their ancient embroidery machines only want to talk to software as old as they are, over connections as old as they are.

If you set up your DNS correctly then you don’t even need the IPs. Just give devices unique, human-readable names and maybe do separate sub-domains for each site or something.

it’s not a browser extension, its a SLAAC thing https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/deploy360/2014/privacy-extensions-for-ipv6-slaac.

TL;DR is that SLAAC used to use part of your device MAC to form it’s IP, which would be trackable/fingerprintable. Now devices just pick the last 48-bits at complete random on the assumption that no other device is going to have that specific address out of the 4 quintilion available addresses.

Manjaro was my first Arch distro and I enjoyed it until I found out about the issues with packages always being out of date. Switched over to EndeavourOS and have been loving it so far. It’s been “just working” for like two years now and even my 70 year old parents don’t notice a difference from Windoze when they borrow my laptop. In fact my dad is using it to do some Quicken work today (which was an adventure to get working. WineHQ community was super helpful though)

If they lost to a bunch of emus it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that they’re scared of the russians!

Thanks, I had almost forgotten that abomination existed! Yeah, that’s a good point. I wonder if that’s part of why they killed her off so unceremoniously. Whatever the case, I’m really glad both Denise and Tasha were brought back for Yesterday’s Enterprise because she gave a great performance alongside Shooter McGavin Christopher McDonald.

Damn, I didn’t have “Austria (potentially) breaks 70 years of neutrality” on my World War III bingo card.

Oh wow, I never even put together that she was Bing Crosby’s granddaughter.

What kind of Jeffrey Combs fan are you!

I believe that’s correct
