Wouldn’t be the restaurant harvesting. They likely only got the app out of convenience and sold to them as a cost savings; the actual ordering/menu company probably has all the customer data sharing agreements that the restaurant owner didn’t read or didn’t care enough to understand. Those companies are the ones who want your data, the restaurant doesn’t care.

How the fuck are comments like that acceptable anywhere, let alone on tv? Wtf

Depends on what threat you’re protecting against IMHO.

If you’re trying to be anonymous, connecting to your home IP first is a dead giveaway to who you are. Both your home ISP and whichever ISP you’re connnected to will know.

Only easy way to maintain some anonymity right now would be to use Tailscale’s Mullvad integration……Tailscale to connect your servers, Mullvad for anonymize/country changing.

Other way might be to ONLY use Tailscale/Mullvad, and set up an alternative auth front door to your own network. Complicated and doesn’t work as nicely tho.

You’re 12 right?

It’s mainly of “you need to go a lot faster than an airplane does”, which means the engines needed to go that fast need different fuel, and when you go high enough you don’t have enough air to burn the fuel with so you have to bring your own, which means your spaceship now gets bigger and heavier……which means bigger engines and more fuel and oxidizer.

And then the lift part…..air provides the lift, but there’s less air the higher you go, until you hit the point where you both don’t have enough air to hold you up AND you don’t have enough air to feed your engines.

So with that combination, with current technology, it’s only feasible to go up as fast as you can to get out of the atmosphere, then go sideways as fast as possible to get to orbital speed. Hence the current launch paths.

Heh true enough. And you can run into issues with package updates breaking something. But hopefully that breaks things for others too so there’s some shared misery there rather than just having to curse your past self for decisions you no longer remember? 🤣

DHCP can be set to specifically assign the same IP to specific devices, reserving them and ensuring that no other systems will use the same IP accidentally. So your servers will consistently get that same IP address assigned to them every time, no worry about the ip address changing unexpectedly.

Very old school; yes you can certainly do all of that and track all of that yourself. We all used to do it that way……But it’s 2026….just as you’d use a real editor rather than edlin, or password managers rather than text files, the new ways ARE better, easier and more consistent. Making sure dhcp works is one of the modern (honestly not that modern) basics that make sure your network is set up properly and isn’t hiding some misconfiguration gremlins that only work because of some static ip and route workaround you implemented years ago and worked “until now”.

Wrong. It’s 2026. You should be setting static dhcp entries and using dhcp to ensure static IPs, not avoiding dhcp. Using manually assigned static IPs just means you’ve built a fragile unique snowflake.

Yeah but they probably run windows and have shit tons of preinstalled crap. Unless Linux is well supported on those, that just tanks value.

Silly customer! You cannot hurt a Twinkie!
