Sadly, the price on the cable network i'm on with ipv6 is performance, AND recently, no ipv4. Kid you not. I did tunnel myself for a while, but gave up. Static ipv4 to the outside. dual stack internal for testing network stuff. How b

Ah, funny. The OS X launch drove me to linux/bsd. The classic I still boot once a year. Sometimes I boot to netbsd. And I was a mac user who would complain about the idiocy of windows in the 90s. Typing this on linux mobile.

No video tearing in years. Sure, I can haul an old laptop out of the basement. QT 5.6 is holding me back a bit. That is about money though and not linux. It is easier to absorb license fees in commercial software, sure. Need to read what th

You are obviously a free climber of some renown! I once sprang from a 2nd floor balcony and landed in a roll. I don't want to think about the amount of alcohol that was involved. Way over. I try to tell that as a cautionary tale. But t
