giving about 5 clear indications that you’re from Ireland

now i am really curious, you wouldn’t be able to put red circle around these 5 clear indications, would you?

i am “this person”, you clown. is ireland the only country you know, or why did you decide to place me there? whatever ireland did to you must have obviously been something terrible to trigger you so much :D

my friend doesn’t get the joke. why should we care you are irish?

i have not found single dns that would resolve the domain (tried google dns, opendns, opennic.org, among others), so maybe it is just a config error.

$ host catflix.su 94.247.43.254
Using domain server:
Name: 94.247.43.254
Address: 94.247.43.254#53
Aliases: 

Host catflix.su not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

hm… i am not sure if this can be config error, or some censorship child protection is happening here.

i am in eu, in a relatively liberal country where no one cares about a torrent (yet), but i am in the vodafone network, so the latter would be not out of the realm of possibility.

$ host catflix.su ns1.ddos-guard.net
Using domain server:
Name: ns1.ddos-guard.net
Address: 185.129.101.200#53
Aliases: 

catflix.su has address 186.2.163.75

or it could be it is not delegated at all…

domain:        CATFLIX.SU
nserver:       ns1.ddos-guard.net.
state:         REGISTERED, NOT DELEGATED

$ host catflix.su

basically, yeah. internet is network of computers spanning all earth. intranet is smaller network of computers. intranet is often more private network under more centralized control of someone, with limited access from outside, that can be operated for example by some corporation or university, accessible only for employers or students (possibly using vpn to remotely connect to the network).

www. is the name of the service - http is a protocol it uses.

e-mail is the name of service - to access it, lot of people use http protocol if you use webmail, or imap or pop3 protocol if you use some dedicated client (like thunderbird, outlook, or others). smtp protocol is used to send the message to another mail server (you may have also been asked to configure it when manually configuring some dedicated e-mail client).

ftp, ssh, bittorrent,VOIP telephony using SIP protocol, IRC are other useful services. all these services can be run on network of any size, internet or intranet.

for example majority of modern doorbell systems are running on sip protocol and they are basically small VOIP phones running primarilly on a limited intranet in one specific building. but if that local network has access to the internet, they can have, due to nature of what they are, an option to forward that “call” to any other telephone number in the world in case no one picks it up at home.

small web-developers routinely run their own web-server of their own desktop, which may only be accessible locally, from that one computer or their small home network, to test the web pages they are developing. whether it is still world WIDE web is funny academical question then, because that web is not very wide in such case.

at similar age, a teacher told me there can’t be polygon bigger than 360-gon, because that would be a circle. i wasn’t of course in a place to fight with her, i just thought “wtf, how dumb is this bitch?”

no, the internet is not the world wide web. www is just one of many services provided on the internet and it can be used on the intranet that is completely cut off from the rest of the world.

there is a terminology question then if it is still really the world wide web or rather small web, but the fact stays that services provided on http protocol and internet are not the synonyms. same as mcdonald is not asynonym for “a restaurant” even if specific person may not have visited any other restaurant in their life.

it is why kobe bryant helicopter crashed. the pilot lost in a fog thought he is going up, when he was just accelerating down really fast. there is air crash investigation episode about it.

The requirements for home schooling in the US vary wildly from one state to the other and can be almost devoid of any practical oversight in some circumstances. In most cases, parents have autonomy to choose their curriculum

yeah, this is the surprising part for me, but i guess in the land of individualism it makes sense. thank you for the answer

some home nas can also be budget friendly… or some vps, where you can start small and scale up on-the-fly when you need it.

as a person from across the ocean, i don’t get this. why would there be need for some different curriculum for homeschooling, and why would the choice depend on the parent? how is it possible you just get to chose? don’t you have to comply with some general standard? here, home-schooling is extremely rare, but if someone undergoes it, they have to use the same textbooks as everyone else and from time to time pass some exams in school to be sure the kid is not behind its peers.

when did you last check where your flash 8 installer is?

Why did he pay? Or does the hotel have access to his card and can charge whatever they wish at will?
