Plenty of people like NAT.

ZeroTier is pretty easy to set up, but at the point where you’re worrying about “barriers to sharing” you should probably using a cloud service anyway.

We should definitely be switching to the specification in RFC 6214. IPoACv6 is the latest standard.

IPv6 is great, but NAT is quite functional and is prolonging the demise of IPv4.

This is so obvious. I don’t understand why I don’t see it being reported on more often.

Puppy Linux was my first ever Linux distro. Great memories.

You don’t?

The religion’s teachings expressly prohibit discrimination on any basis. Seems to me the only bigot here is you.

Mormons are not at all tolerant. Just because they aren’t calling for the death of LGBT people, and are still willing to take their tithes, doesn’t make them tolerant.

You are conflating tolerance with approval. There’s a spectrum of attitudes one might have towards any particular group of people. Here they are with most friendly on the left and most unfriendly on the right:

Kinship – Friendship – Approval – Tolerance – Disapproval – Distrust – Fear – Hatred

Tolerance is the acceptance or putting up with something that one doesn’t approve of. Institutionally (and broadly among individuals) the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is tolerant of LGBT people, but it doesn’t not approve of LGBT lifestyles. It sounds like you want more than tolerance. In a pluralistic society, I don’t think that is a reasonable position to take.

You linked exmormon.org? That’s one of the most vitriolic and biased websites dedicated to spreading hate about members of the Church. It’s clear you’re strongly prejudiced, so there’s no point in me trying to convince you to look beyond your own animosity.

Good day.

Nothing about the religion’s teachings about gender, sexuality, and sin support mistreatment of people who believe or act differently. The broad strokes your applying to the entire religion is exactly the same as saying that all Muslims are violent terrorists just because of the actions of an extremist few.

In short, it’s bigotry.

Can confirm that Windows Server is taught in school IT programs, and can confirm that Windows Server is still being used for both Active Directory and on-premises virtualization (Hyper-V). I interned at a large international organization with networks on 6 continents and it was moving its server infrastructure back to its own datacenters because of rising costs of cloud hosting. It used Hyper-V on Windows Server to host every thing.

And yet, half of my website is hosted on Azure Storage. That little unsolicited remark about Microsoft’s valuation at the bottom is clearly the result of smoking too much copium by the biased author.

Toner is tiny plastic particles, but ink can be made of various biodegradable dies and ink cartridges can be more easily refilled. Toner tends to be more economical than ink, but for the same reason that it is less environmentally friendly: Plastic particles don’t dry up or biodegrade. Additionally, toner cartridges print more pages before needing to be replaced.

Ink is also supposedly more environmentally friendly than toner.

When I interned in a NOC I referred to bandwidth in GiB/s once or twice. The looks on the senior engineers’ faces were priceless.

Lol, it’s kinda sad how personally you’re taking OP’s opinion about Mint’s UX. Time to touch some grass.

OP didn’t talk shit though, they explained their experience in a pretty fair and neutral way. Don’t take criticisms against Linux so personally.

Your arguments aren’t really addressing the points that OP made, though. They aren’t saying they expected everything to work just like Windows, they are saying they expected everything to just work. Any system that requires tinkering for basic stable functionality should be considered experimental and not ready for production.

If you disagree you are falling prey to dogmatic OS fundamentalism. Acknowledging insufficiencies helps improve Linux, while rejecting such criticism prolongs the amount of time the majority of people write it off as unusable as a desktop operating system.

Perhaps there is a tonal message in your words that you didn’t intend (your native language seems to be German?). This paragraph comes across as dismissing my comment while making a sweeping, inaccurate, and baseless judgment that I “distrust any media that contradicts my beliefs:”

But by you talking about “the media” I guess you are trying to find reasons to further your already present distrust in any media that contradicts your beliefs?

Hard to see how that couldn’t be meant as, at best, a passive-aggressive dig, implying some level of instability or paranoia.
