  1. Or the Lustre guys could have gotten their shit together and it could have been put in the mainline kernel.

    They could have been encouraged to do that, instead of just throwing the baby out with the bathwater which is what idiot Gregkh did, because he has not got a fucking clue that this is just as important as the stuff he actually understands. Problem is, he's a bit of a dunce. You can see that in a lot of stuff he does. Crappy coder too.

  2. Aggregation is just an attempt to return to the old bundling and the control it provides allowing them to brag about providing 100s of "channels" that deliver nothing for one "low" price.

    And to perpetuate those precious ratings, particularly prime time and young adult demographic, now made up of feckless millennials.

  5. This kernel cycle has dropped 107,210 lines of code so far but Linux 4.18 is adding many new features. The kernel is coming in lighter as a result of the LustreFS code being removed

    Yah right. This is nothing to be proud of. It is a failure of the community, to be unable to maintain Lustre. Now it goes more proprietary than it already was. Shame on Linus and his hangers-on.

    Some weeny with mod points thinks Linus is perfect. No, far from it. Linus is great, but far from perfect, and the whole Lustre thing was obviously mismanaged, including by Linus and hangers-on like Gregkh.

    Obviously, you deal with the IPv4 devices on your network just the same way as always, by talking strict IPv4 to them. You arrange things so that they ignore any packets with extended addresses, even running the bad old 32 bit stack. But with an updated stack, the additional address bits are recognized and routed. Note: this is *not* dual stack, it is "extended stack". This is what IPv6 should have been, but the genius ivory tower guys, politicians, and anti-nat Nazis had their way with it, leading predictably to the current fiasco.

    You don't know that, but what both of us do know is that you are not willing to even try, the only question question is, what is the out-of-band reason why? Because your position is surely not based on any deep analysis, or if it is, then you suck at tech and should probably find another job. Sales maybe, or sanitation engineering.

    I erred in saying the Acer Chromebook 14 has an Atom-based celeron, in fact it has a Braswell-based N3160, which is Core arch. You erred in claiming that "Celeron" implies not Atom. This is false. There are Silvermont and Goldmont Celerons that are Atoms. So Celeron is a marketing term, not a processor architecture, as I said multiple times. Clear now?

    It sounds like you've done a 180 and now agree that v6's backwards compatibility does in fact exist and works well enough

    No, IPv6 backward compatibility with IPv4 is crap as everybody knows, even if you admit that dual stack is a valid and sensible thing, which I do not. And to avoid outing yourself as a disingenuous prat, please admit that dual stack should never have been necessary for migration. And now we will never be rid of it. But being rid of you would be nice, if you are completely unable to admit the obvious and insist on defending the indefensible, an intellectual crime.

    You are confused. Celeron is a marketing term, it does not describe the chip architecture. Some celerons are core arch and some (sucky ones like the one in this thread) are Atoms. Just avoid the latter.

    Look, IPv6 is a monumental failure, that is not in doubt, and you are an apologist for it. We both know what the addressing issues are, and we both know what the solutions are. Just give up on the wanking about perfect forward backward compatibility please. You are wasting your own time, and mine. Bye. Hopefully forever, and enjoy you IPv6 island with nobody on it.
