It provides a safety net by pooling the resources of the community to support the less fortunate. This prevents people from having to sacrifice their long term goals because their short term needs may not be otherwise met.

Also in contrast to capitalism that treats society as a zero sum game (“I can’t get ahead unless I take something from someone else”) socialism is a benefit multiplier (“I’m part of the community. By making the life of everyone in the community better I’m also improving my own life”).

They are really good at providing examples for why civilized society needs socialism.

Or companies do hire security, but the security team is incompetent and unable/unwilling to adapt to new challenges. Then it devolves into security theater, until either someone new comes who cleans house or a breach happens.

Confucius says: man who runs in front of car gets tired; man who runs behind car gets exhausted.

16 and below is unambiguous. It’s a child up to and including 16 years old. Compare that to “below 17” for example, which technically means the same but might be confused to include 17 by someone skimming the question.

I don’t recall Reddit having unique content - what I do remember however was that it had aggregated content. It filled the role of Slashdot, Fark, and other sites, and it had a comment threading system that was far more usable. The memes came after.

Depending on the capabilities of your network you should be able to set up QoS classes to prioritize certain traffic. Many off the shelf systems have out of the box rules for streaming content.

An open port is like a door on a building. It allows people from outside (the Internet) to go to the attached room on the inside (the service you’re exposing).

Now is that’s the only room in the building (the computer is not used for anything else), and the building is alone in the middle of an island with no land access (the computer is separated from the network, like in a DMZ) then the second worst thing an attacker can do is squat in in and rifle through your papers (the configuration files). The worst thing they can do however is start using your address and the utilities you paid for to start some unsavoury business (make it part of a botnet).

But if the server is not segregated from the rest of your network, they’ll start running into other rooms/buildings, getting their hands at anything they can. Your accounts, your identity, etc. You’ll be living in a really bad neighborhood, being shaken down for everything you have at every corner.

Now for the type of door you’re putting on a building: if you just port forward it’ll be like a screen door. It keeps the bugs out, but any person can open it with ease or crash through it, and they can see what’s inside by just standing in front of it (server fingerprinting). If the services you run have a vulnerability it will be exploited. If you don’t have a firewall or intrusion detection it’ll be like putting a combination lock on the door and never checking if someone is trying all the numbers. The attackers WILL just keep trying until they succeed, and they’re really fast at it.

So it’s not like you should never put a door on a building, but the door should be reasonably secure, with the appropriate strength, deadbolt, and depending on what you run a receptionist (reverse proxy) and security guard.

But Jaskier isn’t gay in the show, either. He’s bisexual.

Oh yeah, that completely changes things, and does completely fit in with the character.

I do have to admit that I did not watch the latest season, not because of Jaskier but because of what they did to Eskel in the previous season. So I took the other commenter’s word that the character was made gay. I guess that’s what I get for assuming honesty until proven differently on the Internet.

I believe they’re referring to the character of Jaskier/Dandelion, who in the lore is a womanizing, promiscuous bard. Pretty much the DnD bard player character archetype. It is also pivotal to a number of plot points, because the character’s womanizing habits frequently land him in trouble, making him a “damsel in distress” supporting character. Which in itself works better when the character is straight because it subverts the trope.

The thing is also that there’s plenty of characters in the story who are or could be made gay without serious repercussions to the plot.

You are correct. A little bit hurt maybe to be grouped with the bigots, but as I said I understand the sentiment, and I also understand that in certain demographics it’s close enough to the truth.

As an ally I would prefer if the second panel said “homophobes” instead of “straight people”, but I get the sentiment of the meme. It’s like a Bechdel for the audience.

Why not both?

It relates to “real” (physical, tangible, immovable or inseparable) property pertaining to land. In other words land plus buildings and resources attached to it. It contrasts with personal property and intellectual property.

There’s also the fact that credit rating agencies in North America have hardly any supervision and are prone to make mistakes because they take correlated data by face value.
