I go one step further. I have a Windows PC primarily for gaming, on its own physical LAN all to itself, that can only talk to the Internet (not any other LANs). I have an almost-identical PC (sans GPU) for Linux Mint, which I do all of my a

I have been to my library yes. You don't need ID or a library card (unless you want to check something out or use a computer) and you can pick up any book you like (including e.g. 50 Shades of Grey), sit down at a table, and read it. T

On the contrary, it's quite normal that the PF's hands are on the throttle levers throughout the climb (until the switch to automation), which are directly in front of the cutoff switches.

I think the point they were making is that a child can walk into a library, pick up any book, and open it. All without any adults being in the loop. They can do that today.

It is such a case, it's just not about zero. If the input is too large to be represented in a signed long, strtol(3) returns LONG_MAX and sets errno to ERANGE. However, if the input was the string form of LONG_MAX, it returns LONG_MAX

This is quite easy to avoid by using DNS over TLS. It's like 15 minutes of effort in some OpenWRT documentation [1]. If you want any hope of having some semblance of control and privacy, you would already be using your own router, with

Right. OpenWRT, for example, will automatically generate a random /48 within fd00::/8 to use as a ULA (unique local addressing) prefix for its LAN interfaces, and will advertise those prefixes to its clients. You can also manually

If the leading bit is set, it could be interpreted as a signed negative number. Prepending 00 guarantees that this doesn't happen.
