- Comment on Why doesn't phones numbers have a "DNS" servet so we can just type in words like we do with the internet? 4 days ago:
VoIP systems are getting us closer to your example. Properly provisioned VoIP (on-prem or cloud) can take a SIP user which looks exactly like an email address and direct digital calls to a physical phone. These days it’s likely going to be sent to an office desk phone or a Teams user, but many years from now it will likely be more common to dial out like that from/to any phone device.
I think your example is a bit more nuanced in that there’s some sort of regional database that I suppose one could register for when they change their address. But I don’t think we’re moving in that direction. Things are moving in a decentralized manner and folks hold onto their digital identities, regardless of their geographical location. So like others comments have said, the phone book system is not evolving any further, because modern communication systems are already the evolved version.

This is awesome.
The multi xxxx registration is god damned mad lad max level.

Yeah, true. But that’s cool. Having choice like that is great!
But I suppose that’s the issue. Trying to keep signup simple to help drive user engagement. How much do you try to wrap someone’s head around such nuanced differences, and when do you say “just join me on my instance”?
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 week ago:
I’m on three different instances and the sort by All-hot feed is nearly identical.
I’m not on Beehaw or Hexbear, but those instances make it pretty well known they block a lot of other instances.

Very strange, but glad you worked it out!
I’ll keep this thread in mind if I ever run into something similar.

Well, dig is available also of course, but nearly all distros still include nslookup despite it getting deprecated. I like the simplicity of its interactive mode.
Host is also really great with more human-readable output.
Don’t get me wrong, when things are getting hairy, you’re going to make a lot of use of dig. I just find that most troubleshooting can be taken care of a lot simpler with host or nslookup.

nslookup is available on macOS and most Linux distros as well (and very helpful indeed).
- Comment on Help! DNS A Records only ones getting filtered. 1 week ago:
Yeah if you can dig a record and received a response it’s not a routing issue.
But aren’t you on the same subnet as your DNS server? There’s no routing happening if you’re on the same subnet which I was assuming.
Even through dig defaults to outputting A records when no other options are specified, I would use the A option anyway just in case:
dig @192.168.0.249 study.lan **A**If you use “ping <a-record>.lan” do you see it output the A record IP address in the first line of output?
Did you try using nslookup as I described?

Yeah MakeMKV is great. That should be top on any ripping software list.

How exactly are you testing this from your client, with ping? What are you using to query the DNS?
If you run nslookup from the client
- Does the ‘server’ command return the correct DNS server?
- Does <A-record>.lan return the expected record?
I’m assuming you’ve run ifconfig to verify your client’s NIC has been assigned the correct DNS via DHCP?

MS Intune works very well especially when using multiple platforms. Not positive about the Chromebook though.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 3 months ago:
You can handle those issues with power, setting group policies, and inhibiting action when the power button is pressed (that includes keyboard power buttons). Nothing will stop the user from killing power by holding the physical power button down, except for changing that setting (if available) in the BIOS.
Computer config->Preferences->Control panel settings->Power options

Jokes aside, how could I implement such a policy?
The policy you’re looking for is in Computer Configuration->Policies->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Local Policies->User Rights Assignments->Shut down the system
This policy takes account or group names from your local or domain AD as its variable (like Domain Admins). After it’s successfully applied, only those users or groups will be able to shutdown the machine gracefully.
Create a new GPO or edit an existing one and apply it to the ADUC organizational unit containing the computer objects you need to target.

Absolutely, DRM is bullshit. Even Apple stopped using it - and not just for iTunes but also for streaming downloads.

- Comment on WD loses hard drive patent lawsuit, owes $262M damages – Blocks and Files 6 months ago:
WD, in turn, claimed the firm had not infringed Suess’ patents
So did they or didn’t they infringe? The article doesn’t say. I imagine MRT disassembled some drives to examine for infringement.
It is also possible that these hundreds of employees across the globe working R&D for Western Digital may have developed the same, or nearly the same, technology. But then MRT filed first if they were awarded the patient.
Given the track record of memory and other computer parts manufactures, I would say it’s more likely that they’re simply lying through their teeth.

No - I use some standard stuff in areas like that, when I’m able to come right out and under the soffit or siding. If I have to make a run, closer to the ground, with a brick facade, I’ll use it. I won’t go crazy actually trying to burry it when it stays near my house hidden by shrubs.
I have buried it for customers that require connections located in dislocated structures - trenches and filling by others though. 😅

But yeah, like others have said in this post, it had a bad light cast on it due to the jpg and gif NFTs. Folks started to realize: “wait… this token just contains a link to a web server hosting a jpg file??”
Well, yes. But also the rights.
“The heck you mean ‘the rights’??”
I mean, your Drunk Monkey in Teal Color Theme artwork is yours to use, you’ve purchased the license in the form of an NFT.
“But it’s just a link that anyone could just copy!”
Well, that would be stealing.
So NFTs in that regard are like any movie or TV show, or video game you rent or purchase. That utility may or may not seem to have any value to any one person, but it is a utility, and a pretty cool one if you ask me. But the usage, its implementation, is what matters. Whatever that usage requirement is for the individual or business, blockchain will do it well. Even if it is used to license junk.
