You know you’re from the Midwest when you think never leaving your hometown is automatically a bad thing.

Oh, hey, that makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, I think it just sounded foreign and exotic to them.

You’re overthinking it. Yes, we have immigrants from just about everywhere, but not every French-sounding city was founded by Francophones. Especially in the 19th century, non-English place names added a hint of poshness, because Americans of the time considered Europe to be the cultural center of the world.

Louisiana and northern Idaho being exceptions.

It’s definitely an interesting hypothetical. Some homelabs that I’ve seen run crazy enterprise gear and are certainly capable of running thousands of very small containers, while others are running repurposed consumer equipment or SBCs like Raspberry Pis with less computing power and RAM.

Of course, in a self-hosted or homelab environment, there would be little utility to running that many network or web services. It would be a neat experiment, though. Seems like the kind of thing that Linus Tech Tips would attempt.

I mean, if you have around 17 million containers running services, maybe.

There aren’t many benefits from using IPv6 on LAN, as far as I can tell, unless you need more addresses than are available in the private address ranges.

Flames are incandescent (glowing) gas.
