What? No?

It sounds like you’re talking about how the US forth amendment applies to unreasonable searches of your home. Generally courts apply a concept known as curtilage that establishes the boundary of your home that they can’t violate improperly. Having records of what was sent and received to your home doesn’t require them to violate the curtilage so the forth amendment would not apply.

It’s also not an angle used in past dmca download court cases afaik.

I am not a lawyer

I know. He wants to complain and isn’t interested in anything contrary to that.

Ty!

I think I’m on Wayland and it’s been fine?

Netflix would probably claim that consumers are getting more value due to increased original programming versus a decade ago. Also blaming inflation.

I played the first one of the series but bounced off it pretty quickly. Seems there are a lot of these now. Are they visual novels or something?

They probably need to sell over 14 million copies at full price to break even with that bonus. The math is very bad for them. That’s not impossible, but it would make it one of the best selling games of all time (top 50)

Companies often arbitrarily pick. In the US retailers often start the year in like April so they can get all their holiday season earnings in the same fiscal year

I’m not concerned about it personally, but you are putting a lot of trust in them as a 3rd party service provider. It’s up to your specific risk profile if that’s acceptable risk or not.

The alternative would probably be self hosting a vpn yourself with dyndns to handle ip address resolution. I’m biased (I have a professional networking background) but I don’t think it’s that much harder to setup either. But then I’m also a hypocrite and don’t self host anything anymore.

There’s also a valid argument to be made that doing it yourself is riskier because novices make mistakes. I don’t think this is too big of a concern personally - it’s not like you’re rolling your own cryptography.

Just as much as Tailscale is self hosting. Tailscale is probably more concerning from a security point of view.

Why use the same name as an existing tech product? If he doesn’t get sued then it’s still bad seo

At some point it’s just mismanagement and blows any potential profit out the window.

Most network devices can have multiple IPs. Assign 192.168.1.1 to your router (in addition to your normal one) and it should probably start routing traffic to that device

Is configuration part of a layer’s responsibility?

You should see the unfinished proposal for ipv8. The authors think yes to a large degree, though not how you’re thinking.

V4 is easier to work with (not using long hex addresses and it’s concepts are more familiar) and works fine for most everyone’s use cases. So if it ain’t broke don’t fix it and low return on investment for most businesses. If you switch you have you do some awkward stuff where you maintain both.

What are these many advantages you speak of, other than global address space? If I’m an average business and may need one to three external ipv4 addresses, which are around $30/yr each, how much labor is it going to cost to migrate and when will I break even? Surely my sysadmin’s time is better spent on things like security hardening?

But they don’t save it any more, you see. They have about one dollar for every 10 dollars deposited. The rest exists only in the banking system itself, and is not a tangible asset.

Fractional reserve banking has been around for hundreds of years

This was an interesting point I hadn’t thought of before, so I wanted an alternate perspective since a Twitter meme is a little one sided, think of it what you will:

Property taxes are ancient — they predate modern stock markets by centuries. Land was the dominant form of wealth, and crucially, you can’t hide a house from the assessor. Real estate is immobile, visible, and tied to a specific jurisdiction. Stocks are the opposite: mobile across borders, easy to hold through trusts or shell entities, and private holdings are genuinely hard to value year-over-year.

The other piece is who’s collecting and why. Property taxes are local — they fund schools, fire, roads, the stuff that directly makes your property more valuable. There’s a clean “benefit” logic: the city paves your street, your house is worth more, you pay for it. A share of Apple isn’t enhanced by Seattle paving anything, so there’s no equivalent local nexus.

Stocks also already get taxed, just at different moments rather than annually: capital gains when you sell, dividends when paid, corporate income tax on the underlying company, estate tax at death. The argument against an annual wealth-style tax is partly that the system already takes its cut, just not on a recurring basis.

A few countries (Norway, Switzerland, Spain) do tax financial wealth annually, but most that tried it abandoned it — capital flight and valuation headaches. In the US there’s also a constitutional wrinkle: the federal government can’t easily levy direct taxes on wealth without apportionment among states, which is why Warren/Sanders-style wealth tax proposals have to be carefully structured to survive a court challenge.

It’s like looking up someone’s phone number.

I’d have to buy a new keyboard at that point
