really dumb patent, Pretty sure DLNA/UPNP media rendering with remote controller and server devices were well established when this “touchstream” mob claim to have patented casting from one device to another.

Yes but release groups don’t agree on season numbers.

the google TV is probably your best bet without either breaking the budget or buying questionable off-brand android boxes (many of which have been fount to have malware included)

You can indeed add a usb-c ethernet adaptor if you have a pass through power USB-C hub/breakout, or the simple solution is to buy the official chromecast ethernet adaptor that is integrated into the power supply. they are available from Google directly, or compatible knock offs are on amazon.

Total cost of that rig of dongles and adaptors is still significantly less than an NVIDIA Shield, even the basic tube model.

Netscape was itself a development from Mosaic, which also spun off into what became internet explorer.

so firefox and Internet Explorer (up to around ie6 at least) are kinda weird cousins.

Its neater than my rats nest of a rack that was neat when I built it then a year of changes and additions have resulted in something more resembling something lovecraftian.

Faceman2K23 , 1 year ago to selfhosted in Is moving to IPv6 worth it?

I get a fat /48 network, just in case I need one septillion, two hundred and eight sextillion, nine hundred and twenty-five quintillion, eight hundred and nineteen quadrillion, six hundred and fourteen trillion, six hundred and twenty-nine billion, one hundred and seventy-four million, seven hundred and six thousand and one hundred and seventy-six individual IPs.

IPV6 is pretty wild, we could effectively give every service connecting to every client, in every direction, for every single individual bit its own dedicated address without getting anywhere near using that address space.

Faceman2K23 , 1 year ago to selfhosted in Is moving to IPv6 worth it?

It’s good to learn, because it will become more common as time moves on, particularly if you get into the datacenter/cloud/ISP industry. It’s less important for the general home user, but it is important to understand how it works and how to use it safely.

Just treating it like IPV4 with more address space is dangerous though. you need to think differently about security and firewalls as it is as if every device has its own dedicated WAN address and could be open to the internet without you knowing.
