@traceyerway.bsky.social worth following bsky.app/profile/ap.b... so that Mastodon can follow you too.

What was wrong with with bridged networking anyway? Sure it's slightly more cumbersome and most users don't quite grok it (granted that's a UX nightmare), but I can't say that having a half broken networking stack is actually better.

Ok @microsoft.com on WSL2 deprecating bridged networking (which works great FYI) in favor of 'mirrored' which literally can't keep a connection up, openvpn has problems with it, and nfs seems to be broken is seriously frustrating. This is a huge step backwards and needs sorting.

No. In many respects these young individuals are fodder, there is no way they aren't intended to fail, and fail spectacularly, from the get go.

If I'm honest, I pity them, this is life ruining stuff they are getting setup for, and being set up they are.

This is (and I'm speaking from experience here) repairing a diesel engine, while it's running but fishing your hands up through the tailpipe and welding stuff while it's running so it doesn't stop. I worked on reasonable sized versions, this is akin to the largest ever conceived let alone built.

Yeah I'm in agreement, this is not junior level, even genius level junior individual, tasks. This would, if you wanted anything but a steaming crater, take a team literally years to trace out what they can find and then figure out how to clean up the mess.

This is like trying to page the *ENTIRE*, and I do mean the *ENTIRE* internet into your head and have it make sense, and frankly the internet has more rules / structure than this situation does.

Yeah if the sheer scale / complexity / hidden beauty of the intricate mess that shouldn't exist the way it does doesn't drive an individual who's got days, let along weeks / months / years to vaguely page what's going on, insane - frankly they rolled epicly well on their sanity saves.

Ok popping over here since the bridge may / may not work (aren't these things grand?)

Anyway... *blinks*

It's been vaguely on the todo list to add to my infra, should get on that

Also: DARN I've gotten used to Mastodon and being able to set my own message size, and this shorter format on Bluesky is ridiculous for having a useful question w/ enough context.

*shakes head*

Trying this on a few places: Got Sketchup, generally like it for my 3D modeling needs, works well enough.

Biggest problem is I'm on the last version before it went all wonky pricing wise & it's starting to show it's age

Was hoping for an obvious open source version, but I'm not really seeing it.
