Potential and Homework

**Casey Liss** (0:00)
June is Pride Month, at least here in the States, and we wanted to take a moment to just quickly recognize that Pride Month is important, that the three of us stand with all of the LGBTQIA plus community. I did that off the top of my head. Hope I got it right. You matter, you are important. We love you and care for you. We try to be here for you in any way we can, when we can. If you think that any of those folks are beneath you, then you are a turd and you can just tune out right now.
There is nothing wrong with loving who you want to love, with being who you want to be and to stand in the way of somebody realizing the best version of themselves in a way that doesn't affect anyone else really. I think we support that. You should let the people love who they want to love and be who they want to be.
I have some friends that are going through some transitions now. I can tell you that, at least as far as I can tell, they are happier than they've ever been in the many years that I've known them. And so, gentlemen, if you have something to add, I am all ears and all for it. But in summary, ATP stands with you and happy pride.

**Marco Arment** (1:07)
Yeah, I think to as much as three Cishet white guys can try to understand any part of this, we try to be the best allies that we can and the best supporters that we can. It shouldn't be as controversial as it is that people should be who they are and love who they love. That is such a beautiful concept.
And it's really sad that the world has made that so difficult for so many people for so long in different forms. If you really think about what that really means, be who you are and love who you love, who could possibly be against that? But yet there are people who are and who make the lives of queer people difficult. And we all know queer people, we know gender fluid people, we know trans people, a lot of people whose lives have been made more difficult by forces against being who you are and loving who you love.
And we just want to, as Casey said, just reiterate how much we vehemently support all rights for all people to be who they are and love who they love. Anything that we can do to help, we are happy to help. And until this fight is totally won and everyone is equal, which as we know is probably never. See also racism, we never really solve that. It's a constant battle. Anything about gender identity and sexuality, that's going to be a constant battle for the rest of our lives too. And we want to make sure that we are constantly on the good side of that helping to fight it. And so we strongly encourage the rest of you, please help defend people's rights and help encourage people to live the lives that they want to live.

Yeah. And in the US, we've recently made some terrible backsliding in this area. So we all have to fight even harder to not only continue to make forward progress, but to make up the ground that we've lost. We have to kind of really dig in here and just try to get back to where we were a couple of years ago. So it's rough for us, but you know, you can't give up.

**Casey Liss** (3:14)
Yep. So happy Pride, everybody. John, you have something going on.

**John Siracusa** (3:20)
Yeah. Dynamic DNS. This was definitely a big thing. I don't know. I feel like maybe a little while ago where you'd get like, I got my first cable modem. Oh, but I don't have a static IP. But I want to run a server in my house in violation of my ISP's terms of service.
So you'd get a host name and you'd be like, well, can I get like a host name that like anytime anyone looks up the host name, it resolves to whatever the IP address that my cable modem gave me recently. That's dynamic DNS. The dynamic part is I look up the IP address for the host name and I get a different answer depending on whatever IP address was assigned to my cable modem or whatever.

**Casey Liss** (3:57)
John, what year is it? Why are we talking about this right now?

**Marco Arment** (4:00)
We're going to party like it's 1999

**Casey Liss** (4:02)
Right?
