You’re right, the imperial units are not S.I. units, but each (most?) imperial unit is defined by an S.I. unit.

It’s not a recognised translation- it’s the definition.

Give me 2, but less mirrors- I’ve spent enough time in hotel lobbies, thank you. But if it were more theatre lobby than hotel lobby, I’m all for it.

It’s no longer accessible from a desktop, only from the Google Maps app.

Agreed, but your point will usually be a lot better received if you aren’t a dick. SpaceX is a great example- it’s a great company, but the head of the company taints the whole thing they are trying to achieve.

It comes down to respect. Even if I’m wrong, treating me with respect will mean I’m more likely to respect you, and if I respect you I’m going to respect your argument.

You’re absolutely right, you absolute fuckwad, and well said, even if you are a shit eating waste of a human.

(Sorry I don’t mean it, I feel bad now…)

You’ve got good points, but your needless insults makes your argument fall on deaf ears.

Yeah- Square and level are two different things. I can get a cube and rotate it any way, opposite faces will still be square to each other (technically parallel) despite not being level.

Interestingly, two perfectly vertical walls cannot be square to each other.

The router is set as a subnet router, that is how I am able to access other machines on my lan remotely.

I don’t want to, and sometimes can’t, install tailscale on every device I want remote access to.

So I may have duplicate routes- Does that explain the behaviour in my original post? And how would I go about avoiding that?

I could turn off subnet routing, and only turn it on when needed, but I’ll be putting up a bunch of other services that will want to talk to each other- I’m assuming this will break whenever I turn subnet routing on.

I kind of follow what you’re putting down.

I am not using an exit node. How do I go about splitting my routes?

What I want to achieve is ‘normal’ access for within the lan, as well as remote access over tailscale for things I cannot run tailscale on.

I have a commercial VPN, but I am not connected. What tinkering did you have to do?

I set up subnet advertisements by doing tailscale set --advertise-routes=192.168.1.0/24. I did not touch ACL.

The home PC is Windows, the context menu for the tray app give the option to ‘use tailscale subnets’ which is enabled- I assume this is the equivalent of accepting advertised routes.

From the home PC, tailscale ping 192.168.1.2 returns a pong, from the tailscale IP. tracert fails.

Linux newb here. What does this mean? My knowledge of systemd is that it is responsible for things like mounting disks and running networking. So does this mean I can ask systemd to grab a new IP address every x hours, even if the machine is asleep?

You’ve got a shelf full of fifty boxes. Forty five of them are sold. You’ve got five people working in the store across three registers. You want to make sure that the people who ordered one get one, so you pre-allocate them by printing out all the orders and attaching them to the box.

The cheaper ones are generally pretty finicky, and often introduce weird compression. You’ll often find the stated achievable distances to require very good cabling with very good terminations.

If using cat cable was a necessity, I’d put the extra money down and get HDbaseT units. But I’d be pretty seriously looking into the various fully moulded active HDMI cables or even better, SDI solutions.

It’s a thing, but it’s either cheap and really sucks, or expensive and kind of sucks.

Who knows, maybe they used the same item for each definition.

Minecraft is secretly bringing metric to the next generation.

I’m just going to start saying ‘blocks’ instead of metres to the youth from now on. I’ll get them used to it, then casually mention ‘kiloblocks’ one day and watch their face as they realise.

The way I understand it, a physical asset is something you can see and touch, like a house or a hammer. There’s things that a share gives me that BTC does not, but ultimately they are more similar to each other than to something like a physical chunk of gold or a silo full of grain.

There is no physical company. I can’t eat Microsoft any more than I can eat a Bitcoin, as much as I might want to.
