This is a joke answer, but somehow also true.

But that's the one that nobody needs 😉

I'm in both camps on IPv6, although much more to the hate than love side of things.

Pros: More addresses for everyone. Should solve IP exhaustion for a lot of folks, even those of us that live off the LAN most of the time. A lot of the globe uses it these days, so in some ways, it's always a good time to migrate.

Cons: It is NOT a drop-in replacement for IPv4. ICMPv6 is necessary for this to really tick. You cannot simply turn it off since it's way more than ping packets this time around. It brings with it a beefy attack surface, and you must be able to handle a range of message types correctly. Hardening requires use of SEND and other tech, making it a more expensive proposition over all.

Rant:

Also, it's really easy to just put your entire home LAN on the /56 or whatever range your ISP gives you. This might be a mistake, as an error in your firewall config could just put everything on the open internet. Meanwhile, the humble IPv4 NAT, that ships standard in every ISP router/switch they give you, fails closed by default - stock and bad configurations hide everything from the internet instead.

Really, all anyone wanted was IPv4 with a bigger address space. This could have been an extension header for IPv4, ICMP, ARP, some clever address management on the part of ICANN, and we would have called it a day.

RFC8200 is the word of god and will solve world hunger. Anyone who disagrees can get fucked.

LMAO. So true xD

There’s no place like ::1

Star Wars is the answer. Because the biggest fans are also the biggest haters.

Arguably the most toxic!

Doxxing everyone's home address? Yep, very toxic.

Fuck off with that shit ::1 is where its's at!

As a Swiftie, yes.

And Mormons

The fact that many noobs and trolls single out the show for being nothing about swearing constantly. While ignoring the real and actually important flaws like the pacing, the unresolved storylines, and especially the questionable motives for its lead is why I side with Blue sky on why Hazbin is so unwarrantably bashed.

And I don't even like the show one bit either.

I've steered clear of MOBA's so far because I've read that they hold just about the most abusive and elitist bunch of players in gaming. Still, I have the itch to try one.  Is there a MOBA out there that will let an old fart with iffy reflexes play without getting skinned alive by his teammates?  Especially as a noob?  One where the players don't take shit as seriously as if they were fighting for the very fate of Middle Earth?

There is no such thing as non abusive moba. When you are forced in group with 4 other random people against other 5 random people an argument is bound to start be it inside your team or from the enemy. Always expect to be trash talked in a moba no matter which one.

My first couple of attempts in MOBAs reminded me of when I tried UO...take one step outside Britain and get slaughtered and called every name in the book...TO me this format draws the most elitist jerks in the industry.

I don't think you could pick a worse genre when it comes to douchenozzles.

Random MOBA groups are always going to be abusive.

I played a DotA 2 mutiplayer game myself. Once.

And I note that as of this writing, the only two people to list a video game in their comments have listed MOBAs (DotA 2 and League of Legends).

As an F1 fan since 2021 who did NOT get into it through Drive to Survive, this seems accurate.

MLP is actually making a bit of a comeback right now. I saw so many pony cosplays at comicon, but they're all the age to have watched FiM when they were the proper target audience. So it made enough of an impact on these people that they go full cerulean body paint in a heatwave 10-15 years later.

It's a really good cartoon though. It had strong, consistent characters, developing over 9 seasons. Stories were well-written, setting up a problem with a character flaw and resolving with a lesson learned. The ensemble cast meant that every permutation of pony resulted in new dynamics.

And it inspired so many artists, many of them still active. A lot of them dropped the "brony" from their name by now, but there's so many musicians who started in MLP and branched out.

I watched a lot of them with my kids. As far as kids shows go, there are definitely worse ones out there, but I went in knowing that bronies exist, and expected to find some deeper artistic value, but no, it's just a kids show about magic pony friends.

Maybe I’m falling into an unfamiliarity trap, but I never really understood why My Little Pony was seen as worthy of such adulation.

It was a toy-based cartoon that had actual care put into its storytelling and characters. It also had many pop culture references and jokes. Might not seem so remarkable now, but in 2010 almost all comparable cartoons were soulless crap, especially when it came to "girly" properties like MLP. It was one of the first shows in what many people now consider a golden age of cartoons (followed by shows like Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls etc)

Back when it got momentum, I was one of the idiots who got sucked into it because of "lol, let's hate watch it" and actually enjoyed it up to a point (S5, I think? First season after Twilight became princess). Season openings and finales were usually the best episodes, taking the cast out of slice of life situations and dropping them into dangerous adventures.

I wrote some fanfiction that never saw the light of day - thankfully for me and anyone who would end up reading it
