    Thanks for the correction on the the broadcast address, btw. The details are important.

    At home, I have 172.16/12 scoped out for my cluster subnet and just use the second and third octet to denote service function. It’s excessive scoping, but it’s an internal scope for a private network and broadcasts are generally contained to the cluster network. It would be trivial to split that into a 172.16/16 if I ever had the desire. (Speaking bluntly, it really doesn’t matter much in this case. I’ll need to split it out to keep Longhorn traffic segregated later, but it’s not an issue now.)

    The rest of the network is reasonably scoped out across 192.168 ranges and chopped up across a few VLANs.

    My addressing scheme is split into “public” and “stay the fuck out”, with most 172 addresses being the latter. At home this is great. In a large network, scoping out such a large 172 subnet could be detrimental. (“It depends” on the detrimental bit and requires proper planning and understanding about why subnets were even built into IPv4 from the get-go.)

    Edit: Most addressing is static on my cluster network, with DHCP only handing out addresses based on MAC address. The 172 subnet has very restricted dynamic IP ranges.

    Regardless of what is what, it’s a scheme I recognize and that is the more important bit.







  • People get mad and say things they don’t mean. Many couples will get to the point of yelling and screaming at some point if they are together for a number of years. (Some people may never fight, and good on 'em!)

    A fight isn’t the issue: It a person’s willingness to forgive and forget is what should be measured. That, and a person’s ability to be remorseful is extremely important here as well.


  • Even with your feet bolted to the floor, that would cause some serious damage to your ankles if you couldn’t pull yourself back up.

    After my running, I’ll stretch my calves by doing pushups againt some railing while keeping my feet flat like that. No way I could ever use calve strength like that to pull myself back up. That shit hurts, man! (My calves are fairly strong, too.)

    I am not asking about your business, just sharing my issues.

    I self-medicated for a number of years, mainly with gallons of coffee in the morning and a couple of twelve-packs in the evening. That habit got super-charged when I started taking Adderall for a while. That was what it was, and it destroyed my stomach and the reflux was horrendous.

    Once you get settled with meds, if at all, take a good look at your own habits and diet very broadly. Treatment for ADHD, in whatever form, will give you a decent crutch to adjust anything you need to adjust. (I had to get sober, slow down on the coffee, start running 20 miles a week and much more. Hopefully you have much lighter options and tweaks.)

    My stomach has gotten better year-over-year now, so that was a huge plus. Of course, our lives are completely different and my case was a little more on the extreme side. I also am blatantly generalizing folks with ADHD by just implying that most of us have unhealthy habits, but it is not said with ill-intent and simply isn’t true for all people.

    It may take years for you to adjust your life around treatment and making life decent again with a busted stomach, but don’t give up. Time, along with an adjusted lifestyle, can work wonders.

    (GERD obviously isn’t alcoholism, and I am not meaning to imply that either. Regardless, I sympathize and can relate deeply with your issues.)


  • It’s one of the few playful arguments left in this world, I think. If there is one that can still be had online, it’s probably this one.

    To be honest, I pronounce gif like “gif” or “gif” depending on my mood.

    While my personal bias is in the creators favor, it doesn’t seem to me that GIF is even a proper word to begin with. It’s an abbreviation and a format extension. As such, there aren’t any rules that should be applied even if there were rules that could.

    File extensions have such a wide variety of pronunciations it makes “gif” irrelevant anyway. (Is it E-X-E or is it “ex-ee”?)
