Incel Mindset

Chill Regular-ass Post

I’ve said before, but a lot of women don’t realize they sound eerily similar to incels and ‘nice guys.’

A lot of women think their mere presence and occasional sex is the prize and should be their only contribution in a relationship. I agree that this is the female version of an incel mindset — they are mentally trapped in ideas of a relationship that might’ve been true when they (and the men they were dating) were 17, but is not the case in adulthood. The vast majority of men want more than (in the case of these women, usually bad) sex.

So, yes, women can be incels of sorts — it just doesn’t look like male inceldom. It is equally vile and just as common if not more so, though.

IPv6 Tricks

Chill Amusing, Annoying, Clowns

IPv6 just turned 30 and still hasn’t taken over the world.

As usual, the Hacker News comments are full of utter idiots. More than half of the people there (mostly the ones praising IPv6) who speak authoritatively about networking know fuck-all about it. Which is the norm there.

Like this fucking clown talking about IPv4 and NAT. His claim that “the connection will just head right on through your router” is 100% false for a normal NAT gateway. Doesn’t matter where the traffic originates as as long it’s coming from a public IP. His comments are fully wrong. Packets arriving from the internet are addressed to the router’s WAN IP. Without a DNAT/port-forward rule (or an existing NAT state entry that matches), the router does fucking not “route them onward” to some LAN host. There is no destination inside to route to because the destination is the router itself. This cannot, cannot happen. Idiot.

The comment how about how “NAT only changes the source address” is also wrong. Typical residential NAT is always NAT/PAT (address and port translation) and is stateful.That means it creates a mapping only when an inside host sends outbound traffic first and uses that mapping to translate inbound return traffic. Unmatched inbound traffic is dropped because it can’t be translated. Period. Therefore, that makes NAT a very effective security measure for essentially free.

From the outside, you simply cannot open a new TCP connection to an arbitrary PC on a residential network behind a simple NAT without port forwarding or some other explicit/implicit mapping mechanism. Thus, Dagger2 is a clown idiot, as mentioned above.

Motherfuckers are always like, “NAT is not a firewall!” And never, ever, ever, understand how NAT actually works. Blows my mind.

Poppies Trimmed

Chill Evil, Gutter Philosophy

I think a large part of why the left despises “attempting to do difficult things” in and of itself is that if someone succeeds in doing so that ipso facto disproves their inane notions about everyone being exactly the same.

Thus, every time someone brings about anything in the world that someone else definitely could not have created, this case of de novo instantiation acts as an implicit rebuke against the left’s moronic leveling egalitarianism that desires only to cruelly cut down anyone who excels. This should be resisted at nearly any cost.
