Humans live and have lived and will live in every conceivable place on this planet. What’s gonna get wiped out is 99% of profits being made right now. We’ll survive, but our institutions won’t.

Everyone on every social media seems hostile these days. Maybe it’s a reflection of society’s anxiety?

Always always check what version of blender the tutorial is for! Later versions have automated and fixed so much annoying shit that you had to do/fix manually in older versions. Blender 5.1 is way different to 2.8! Also it doesn’t matter what menu it’s in because you can just search for that tool with the search function, bind it to spacebar.

Blender is actually amazing now (>5.0) and I feel like lots of people tried 2.8 and got scared because it was janky and it turned them off Blender forever.

Inertia. IPv4 still works, every service on the internet still available over it. You can just be lazy and things will be ok.

Complexity. IPv6 is complex in the areas where v4 sucks. Ran out of address space? Here’s a lot more address space. Multiple routers offering multiple routes? Just grab them all, have as many addresses as you want. No method to find peers on the same subnet? Here’s like three methods to find peers on the subnet. All this is stuff you gotta learn!

Workarounds. Initially, ISPs thought that people turned their PC off at night and they’d get the IP address back. Then, they were leaving multiple devices on all day! So they came up with a hack that pretends everyone is behind one IP address, now all your devices are just one IP. But that IP still stays up and occupied all the time, they’re not getting it back, so they put all their customers under another (CG)NAT. It’s just NAT all the way down whenever they run out, and this way they never run out.
