You mentioned old, obsolete Fusion drives. I'm having a hard time thinking of anything else where that'd matter, so you're probably right about that. AFAIK you can reformat those to use something other than CoreStorage if you're actually stuck using those boat anchors.
I pay for Bear because it’s a native app and not in the weird uncanny valley of Electron apps that almost feel native until you hit the rough edges. It syncs with iCloud. It supports Shortcuts. It’s as responsive to keystrokes and keyboard shortcuts as any other Mac app. Basically, it just feels good to me and I enjoy using it.
Obsidian’s awesome. It’s also an ADHD tarpit for me. I can way too easily get distracted into optimizing my workflow instead of, you know, just typing notes into it. That’s a me problem, not a them problem. I don’t mean it as a criticism against Obsidian. It’s just not the right tool for me.
I'm not saying you're wrong. I am saying that this is a new sentiment I've never heard expressed before. Perhaps Ubuntu's done something to make it flaky, but the upstream Debian apt tooling is famously stable and boring. I'm saying this very seriously: I don't recall a single time, ever, in about 30 years of using Debian-and-friends, that I've ever been bitten by a bug in apt-get or apt. I have also never been hit with a dependency bug when I wasn't using dodgy third-party package sources. In the many situations where I've deployed pure Debian (or pure Ubuntu) servers, `apt update && apt upgrade` has worked 100% of the time.
I do not claim that no one's had problems with this. The world's large. I'm certain there are people out there who have nothing but trouble with apt and friends. I do claim that I've never personally seen that our been in a conversation with people who have.
Basically, we’ve been called worse by better. This roast was hardly worth an amused tsking.
Also, will Tangled support private repos that are only visible or fetchable to specific people? Would that even make sense in its model?
This is great. I'm delighted at the idea of having my own knot hosting my projects, talking to my friend's knot, and coordinating on a global project's knot, all without having to lock everyone into one centralized point of failure (even mine). Amazing. I love it!
So what’s the state of Tangled today? Say I have a Tangled server (instance? host?) up and running with my repos. Some stranger wants to contribute. What do they have to do before they can open issues or send PRs or whatever?
An older peer quickly set me up with a better terminal on a floppy.
The largest ISPs in the US are Comcast, AT&T, Charter, Verizon, T-Mobile, Starlink, and Google Fiber. They all support IPv6. The only top-10 US provide that didn't support it is Frontier Communications, who is rolling it out.
In other words, the biggest companies who actually do this for a living all demonstrate that you're wrong.
As to your questions, read up on IPv6 ULA which solves all of them. None of the hosts on my LAN depend on having an outbound connection.
I strongly disagree. That's obsolete knowledge, thrown around by people who want to be considered security conscious but haven't actually updated their knowledge in many years. A statement with similar implications might be "security conscious operators require their users to rotate their passwords monthly", which is what a lot of people use to think a decade ago, and now what it really communicates is that you're talking to a dinosaur.
No amount of “you’re holding it wrong” could convince me that the millions of people who wanted to use it the way it was broadly described were truly doing it wrong. The payoff for slavishly doing things the “right” moderator-approved way just wasn’t worth the effort.

Those were the answers that would've kept SO relevant: here's what we all thought last time this came up, but here's how the situation has evolved since then.
Reddit came with its own problems, of course. The programming subreddits hadn't (yet?) been as weighed down with those issues when I weaned myself off going there.
They did not directly increase the integer counter of their reputation score. They did use it to explain why they should be granted increased human reputation as a moderator.

Even if the site allowed it, or even encouraged it in certain small circles, you would not be OK with this. Or if you would, surely you could appreciate that other people absolutely would not be.
Sometimes people edited my SO answers in ways that were factually incorrect. A colleague or would-be employer might see that wrong answer attributed to me and suspect that I'm incompetent. That is not acceptable. Again, it doesn't matter if the license permits it. Morals and ethics do not.
This is different from, say, forking my software project and releasing an altered version. People would prominently see that you're publishing the changed version under your own name. That's fine. You having the ability to go in and change my own published code, without my permission, so that people see my name on your work, is morally and ethically wrong (and a major security risk). No rule or guideline on SO can override that principle.
That was a terrible, awful plan, and I always reverted edits to my answers that went beyond fixing typos or updating old links.
