One use for wireguard in a container is that if you’re using other containers on the same host you can use container magic to route the traffic of specific containers through the wireguard tunnel, while other containers bypass the tunnel.

I prefer to stick to uncontroversial works made by politically conscious creators, like H.P. Lovecraft!

But no, I get it. I like art made by people who are or weren’t great. And that’s before considering my participation in the vast system of capitalism which necessarily involves systemic evils far beyond what JKR personally is capable of.

It just hurts to have a person who is loudly transphobic like JKR, who uses all support of her IP as support of her views, and then all the majority of society has to say is “I love HP tho”. It hurts especially when society is increasingly hostile towards trans people right now.

There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. And it’s not like HL was handmade by JKR herself, there were plenty of people working on it who I’m sure aren’t transphobic and whose livelihoods are connected to the franchise as a result, some of whom are probably trans themselves.

The “separate the art from the artist” argument just always rings a little hollow to me. I tend to be put off when people cling to a franchise that is owned by a person who profits off hateful rhetoric and contributing to an unsafe environment for us. It feels like continuing to enjoy her art continues to platform her hate and shows people that being transphobic not only isn’t a deal breaker, it’s acceptable and profitable.

Anyone can have shares of anything, so that’s kind of moot. Even if suddenly Minecraft stopped making money, it would not affect Notch in the least. From what I can tell he might kind of like it, he seems to be kind of bitter about it. Though who knows what’s legit and what’s a grift at this point.

Art vs artist doesn’t apply when the artist is making bank off their art.

A better example would be something like Notch and Minecraft. Notch made Minecraft, Notch sucks, but he sold it and makes no money off it anymore so who cares if he’s the worst. JKR is a different story, and every new Harry Potter thing supports JKR.

A big part of IPv4’s persistence I think is that people insist that IPv6 is complicated, but then refuse to learn it or think outside their IPv4-brain. It’s just different enough that it’s easier to stay in v4, even if it requires a million hackjob fixes to keep around.

If anything is to blame for that, it’s the lack of momentum behind IPv6. We’re out of IPv4, so NAT is inevitable, and IPv6 doesn’t have enough inertia for single-stack to be viable (certainly wouldn’t be described as “no drama” at least).
