  • I’m in the US and my ISP gives everyone CGNAT by default. On the lower tier plans, we have the option to buy a semi-static IP for an extra fee. The higher tier plans include the semi-static IP for free upon request.

    I have also been talking with them about IPv6. They will only grant customers a /64 prefix because their pool of v6 addresses is so small, they would run out of their allocation if they granted customers a /60.

    By only giving customers a single /64 I cannot implement v6 on my VLANs. This is incredibly frustrating considering v6 has like so many addresses it’s not even like a number most people know. Like a trillion trillion or whatever. And you’re telling me I can only have one (subnet)?


  • Off topic but out of curiosity, how many people actually work in a data center? I’ve always wanted to work in one but got the impression that there are only a small number of people, maybe a dozen or so, dedicated to keeping the hardware running.

    But hearing how it’s affected you makes me think it might not be the best choice for me. I worked from home for about 5 years up to and during COVID, and honestly can relate to feeling less comfortable in social situations after a while. I think the first year or so I was fine and then started to notice the decline of actually wanting to interact with other people.


  • I am confident you have it exactly backwards. In the summer fan pushes air down to create active airflow that cools you through increased evaporation.

    In the winter, fan pulls air up creating circulation to avoid cold spots in the room. Being able to feel air movement makes people feel cooler even if the air is the same temperature as they are.


  • There was some research recently that showed the same thing. People who are “dug in” on a topic, usually a political topic, will shut down when a person tries to persuade them of an alternative, but are much more open to hear the same arguments from AI and actually reconsider their position.

    I believe this is a big reason why X-Ai was so important for conservatives to get off of the ground, they were afraid all the crazy would start wearing off if people asked the “woke” models for the truth.
