krnlpnc··on 40% of Google users now connect via IPv6
“In December 1998, IPv6 became a Draft Standard for the IETF,[2] which subsequently ratified it as an Internet Standard on 14 July 2017.”

40% adoption after 25 years? Really highlights how terrible IPv6 is in terms of backwards compatibility.

What we needed was an internet protocol with the benefits of IPv6 that runs as an extension to the IPv4 stack.

The current approach to duplicate everything into IPv6 is wasteful and time consuming, proven by the extremely slow adoption rate.

Perhaps in the 90s early 00s. Their CVT is known to be very problematic

krnlpnc··on Homeland Security sends warning letter due bad tweet language
Saying things like this really does open a person up to all sorts of problems.

It's easy to "be concerned" about a sentence that is not meant literally and report it, provide it as a crime tip or post an outraged response to it and attempt to cancel or cause other problems for the person who posted it.

Best to choose your words carefully and not give people ammunition to use against you.

krnlpnc··on Why don't more people use throat mics?
An SM57 with foam pop filter (sure a2ws-bk) looks similar to an SM7B for about 1/5th the price. Sounds good too
krnlpnc··on Why don't more people use throat mics?
Why not? Because it sounds sh*t and requires wearing a collar.

A decent dynamic mic on a boom and a bit of compression will approach broadcast quality sound and can be done using affordable commodity parts (that will hold their value at resale if selected wiesely)

Arguably a good mic setup adds credibility to the speaker. Partly because they sound clearer and more professional, and part because it looks like a professional pod/broadcast setup.

krnlpnc··on LMN 3, an open source DAW in a box [video]
No need for a new project. Performance mixers have been a thing for a long time and affordable models exist from roland, korg, pioneer and others.

TE just shrank the thing to an unusable size and slapped on their pricetag.

> with the difficulty, it comes degraded social relationships, unhappiness, substance abuse and crime.

The cynic in me sees this as an intended effect. American companies want cheap labor and maintaining an impoverished working class helps provide it.

"My body my choice" a favorite phrase of conservative anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers.

How hypocritical that this belief doesn't apply to someone else's right to choose.

krnlpnc··on Supreme Court Overturns Roe vs. Wade
It's depressing to watch the USA continually fail to keep up with the progress of other first world countries. Often times even taking steps backwards like this.

There are so many actual issues deserving of this attention. In what universe is removing rights a priority?

Yes, and the problem is not limited to copyright

krnlpnc··on As weed gets more potent, teens are getting sick
Like anything it's about balance. The same could be said about working every day, at all different times of the day.

There is something to be said for turning off the part of the brain that worries about being productive all the time.

Claiming a few 4 hour blocks over the course of a week as your own time to "zone out" and do whatever activity you like is not a bad thing. For some people cannabis helps them get in that zone.

30 people leaving a reaction to an announcement is way easier than 30 lines of chat coming in at varying times.

Same goes for things like +1 -1 feedback

krnlpnc··on Editing Means Writing Less
It means writing the same amount and revising into more clear/concise statements.

krnlpnc··on Patreon cuts deep inside creators’ pockets
15% is not a deep cut.

That’s a totally a reasonable cost for smoothly running the infrastructure necessary to support a creator with a monthly subscription model.

krnlpnc··on Coinbase employees petition to remove execs
Thumbs up on communication, thumbs up on completeness of work on time.

But, like major thumbs down on their vibe. They need more positive vibes.

krnlpnc··on I love the Linux desktop, but that doesn't mean I don't see its problems
This sounds right, and also the marketing of Android is misleading and hardware focused which leads to false comparisons.

"Look the camera has more megapixels than an iPhone!"

Yeah ok, but the stock camera software outputs photos that look worse than an entry level iPhone.

krnlpnc··on I love the Linux desktop, but that doesn't mean I don't see its problems
Isn't Android effectively a base level linux distro optimized for smartphones though? Providing some level of uniformity between devices like package management, etc.?
krnlpnc··on Is social audio already dead?
On the other hand voice is half duplex, transfers data slowly and doesn’t retransmit lost fragments.

Agree to disagree I guess.

> in the same way that nobody wants to go to a wedding over Zoom, we don't want to build our product over Zoom.

It's absurd to compare a once-in-a-lifetime event to everyday work meetings.

krnlpnc··on Is social audio already dead?
I hope so. It's a very wasteful and low resolution way to share information.

We've had telephones and group calls since before we had computers, and there is a reason why we shifted to text.

Plus the platform is inherently not accessibility friendly.

It just makes no sense overall, but I can see why it was quick burning fad.

Time yes, but also “no lapses in self-discipline” is a factor as well.
krnlpnc··on Elon Musk Tesla email: Remote work is no longer acceptable
No doubt he’ll follow that rule himself and not spend a huge portion of his time traveling and working from hotels.
krnlpnc··on Ask HN: Is there any Linux distro dedicated to music performance?
I honestly would not go down this route unless you intend to spend considerable time on the linux side itself.

If you want to just get on with playing music stick with macOS or windows.

Also the platform should not crash while live in the first place, but in cases where its critical usually there will be two machines running the same set in a failover config.
