  • It really isn't though. I also started using Firefox recently and I miss tab groups on mobile as well as on my PC. Yes, there is the simple tab groups add-on, but it just doesn't compare.
    Brave is also easier to set up ad-blocking, because it comes with ad-block enabled and script-blocking two clicks away.

    Don't get me wrong, I will continue to use FF, but Brave has some features, FF does not have (yet).

  • The meme refers to the following:

    Back then™ actors would mostly get contracts that contain residuals this recurring money assured a steady cash flow for actors and actresses throughout and even after their careers.

    But nowadays, the pay is worse (because inflation) and most contracts even for well known actors/actresses don't include residuals.

  • Actually not it's complicated.
    Fascinating as it may sound, transvestites were mostly allowed in the third reich, when they weren't homosexual.

    The even got their own pass:
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transvestite_pass

    After reading the German and English version I am a little puzzled, since the German version says, that they were kept and transvestites stayed unharmed when not homosexual while the English version says:

    After the Nazis came to power, most passes were revoked or German police refused to recognize them.

    The German original source says the following:

    Sofern Trans*personen den „gegen sie erhobenen Homosexualitätsverdacht entkräften konnten, lässt sich in keinem Fall eine Strafverfolgung nachweisen. "

    Which translates to:

    If trans*persons "could invalidate the suspicion of homosexuality, there is no evidence of criminal prosecution."

  • Wait! You're right... I misread that, because everything is abbreviated and I don't look at ifconfigs that often
    "brd" is broadcast
    "inet" is the real IP plus the netmask

    Wtf!

  • I'll try my best:

    This text shows the network interface config for a device. Ip is 1.2.3.7 in the subnet 1.2.3.4/30

    IPs are 32-bit numbers that represent the addresses, machines in a network use to communicate. Each IP is part of a network. A subnet is a defined subset of a network and represented by a number of 0-32 showing the number of bits at the end, that can be altered.
    For example your home network is probably in the subnet of 192.168.0.0/16
    This means that your IP starts with 192.168 and the 16 shows the size of the subnet. IPs in that subnet are 192.168.0.0 all the way to 192.168.255.255.
    All devices in this subnet are local. You could also make smaller subnets inside this one to structure you local network or (and that is why companies use this) to allow devices in the same network to connect to each other or to disallow devices in different subnets.

    To do this, a gateway is brought into the network. Its purpose is to connect multiple networks. At home your router can do this but in a company there probably is a dedicated firewall-machine.

    The gateway also needs an IP. So in this "joke" the server is in the net starting with 1.2.3.4 and only the last 2 bits can be changed. So the IPs are 1.2.3.4 to 1.2.3.7.

    The first IP (1.2.3.4) is reserved for the network, the last is broadcasting (1.2.3.7)and we also need a gateway (1.2.3.5) so we only have one IP left (1.2.3.6) so this device is really "secure"...

    A Firewall could do the same and a lot of other things as well, but some companies are weird and networking is hard™.

    Btw.: I think his 1.2.3.7 should be a 1.2.3.6

  • element.io is a server so that doesn't sound right.

    Do you mean Matrix-Server?
    You can have a look here:
    https://joinmatrix.org/servers/

    ... or host your own server.

    If you have a certain community in mind, maybe just join their server.

    Some infos to get started:
    Matrix is the chat-protocol, so the language, that server and client talk to each other.
    Element is one of the many clients, so the Software of the app/website that you use to send your messages to the server.
    Thing with matrix is, that the servers are mostly federated like Lemmy, so you can chat with all other users and join all other communities.

    If you want to know more, you can ask me or read here.
