DHCP only acts in local networks which is in 90%:

1. home network where you trust every device to not spy on you
2. office network where in most cases your emloyer provided you with the hardware. And in 10%:
3. Public WiFi

The only thing leaked in DHCP is your MAC. Attacker can use this info to identify brand of our network adapter. Or if they have really huge database of laptop manufacturers attacker can identify your device. If you use VPN or TOR the only thing they know from now on is that you use VPN or TOR. And if they really have everything in that database they will be able to tell who bought that computer. So now attacker can only knows who is in their netwotk.

Which is useless in scenario 1. and 2. Where you already know who is in your network and owner of that network has no database to identify you based on your MAC.

In scenario 3. If we are talking about huge public networks like WiFi provided from your town. If infiltrated by 3 letter agencies which may have such database they could theoretically track your location based on which town network you connected to.

But you can protect yourself from this:

1. Do not connect to public networks
2. Your OS/Network card driver allow you to use random MAC address. Just enable random MAC in your network settings. In Android: WiFi > Select specific network > Privacy > Use randomized MAC.

Also take note some general location tracking can already be done through mobile networks.

Who is stopping you from taking a break? My hot take is just a general recommendation, especially for people you love.

1. I like useful delusions.
2. If you are optimistic for others you ancourage them to do stuf. Doing some stuff that may not work is 100000% better than watching Netflix/TV. Especially in current nihilistic social climate.
3. Pessimist and optimist are both right (not my quote)
4. Example: Pessimist: I will not get this job -> So I will not even apply -> 0% chance of getting a job -> 100% correct Optimist: I will get this job -> I apply and prepare -> 20% chance of getting this job -> 20% correct But who cares if you are correct. What matters is taking a chance. This comes way more useful if you are optimistic every day. So you apply for a job whenever there is a chance. And if you apply for 10 jobs from initial 20% you get 89% chance to get a good job.

Being naive is not the same as being optimistic.

Realists are just pessimists.

You should be an optimist even if you are faking it. To lift others up.

Actually it is. New users may join wrong inactive community.

I vote for closing.

Thank you!

Also changing diapers is not hard at all. You get used to it after second change. It becomes boring task you do not think about - like going to the toilet yourself.

I could not agree more about my wife! She is totally awesome and I really love spending time with her. We are constantly goofing arround. I had a crush on her since we have been 14 and started dating. Now 10 years together we are married and got our first kid. I could not be happier.

She is just changing diapers right now and I am thinking how lucky I am to have her.

I also believe actively trying to have positive/wholesome view on a world helps a lot.

This is why I really like this community.

One should not use boolean just because variable has only two states.

I believe when you use boolean when enum should be used is called "boolean blindness".

Eg: isFemale instead of enum Sex {MALE;FEMALE} It also gives you an option to simply extend code if requirements change and there are more than two options.

What? Weird! This is against what this organization is supposed to represent. Sad.
