Well mistakes happen. I hope your next contributions wont be regurgitated AI slop.

Cool AI Post.
Also since when is Alphabet the “creator” of Google? It’s literally Google but under a different name to avoid Antitrust.

I hope they will keep a rendition of this masterpiece
- Comment on Is the bitwise AND of subnet masks and IP addresses redundant? 1 week ago:
sure thing buddy, and never feel discouraged to ask “stupid questions”, it’s how we learn after all :)
- Comment on Is the bitwise AND of subnet masks and IP addresses redundant? 1 week ago:
but rather a raw binary sequence, e.g., the first 24 bits of an IP address, therefore allocating 3 bytes of memory for storing the NID.
That would require dynamic memory allocation, since you can never know what CIDR your stack encounters. It could be a nibble, a byte, a byte and a nibble, …, 4 bytes. So you would allocate a int32/int64 anyway to be on the safe side.
- Comment on Is the bitwise AND of subnet masks and IP addresses redundant? 1 week ago:
But why do we need the bitwise AND for that, specifically? I understand the idea, but would it not be easier to only parse the IP address string of bits only for the first n bits and then disregard the remainder (the host identifier)?
Essentially it boils down to:
bit operations are stupid fast, String operations are super slow.

Okay, so you want a laptop or a desktop?
- Comment on Looking for advice on PC build for programming 2 weeks ago:
I mean you can program on a potato, so what would be your programming need? Something specific you want to get into?
Yes Hardware Firewalls exist, but those are primarily infrastructure and not part of a computer.
If all you want to do is program on that rig, then maybe consider an integrated GPU solution so you don’t have to invest in a overpriced Graphics card.
When you care about security and privacy you probably want to run a Linux distribution/BSD instead of Windows? Or do you want Apple (as then this discussion would be superfluous anyway)
- Comment on Are there any differences between hosting a .onion site and a “normal” site? 2 weeks ago:
It’s just a name that gets resolved into an IP. Tor though does a bit more with it. But that’s the gist behind it.

Yeah sure, why not.
- Comment on Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week 4 weeks ago:
That headline is rather confusing. Then I realised that “Nothing” is a fricking company.
Also branding his stuff as Nothing phone/OS/ear is hilarious. Hilariously bad.

- Comment on SanDisk introduces the first 8TB SD and 4TB microSD cards - Liliputing 5 weeks ago:
Isn’t it preferable to have a RAID configuration for your NAS? Or do you then buy multiples of those?
- Comment on SanDisk introduces the first 8TB SD and 4TB microSD cards - Liliputing 5 weeks ago:
That’s a lot of games/applications then
- Comment on SanDisk introduces the first 8TB SD and 4TB microSD cards - Liliputing 5 weeks ago:
SDUC supports up to one hundred and twenty eight Terabytes O.o
Who in the world requires so much Storage on a tiny SD card?!

Have you bind your audiobook directory to the containers /audiobook directory?
What format are your audiobooks?
Have you tried uploading one via the GUI?
- Comment on help setting up audiobookshelf 1 month ago:
How did you set it up? As a docker container or directly under your OS?

US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said he does not think war in the Middle East is inevitable, but if Israel were to be attacked the US would help defend it.
Israel can attack neighbours but as soon they are attacked back big daddy interjects? What kind of bully move is this?

But not comment or interact with toots in any meaningful way?

- Comment on AI is like a hammer 2 months ago:
Yeah but it shouldn’t be used for many different things as it would diminish the meaning and would then just boils down to advance if statements.
