2000:1::1 would expand to 2000:0001:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001

2000::1::1 could be 2000:0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0000:001, or 2000:00000000:0001:0000:0000:0000:001

There's ambiguity on where to fill in the five groups of 0000 in the second case.

The second address is invalid. You can only use :: once per address.

Edit: Whoops. Didn't read what the above post was in response to. My bad.

That exactly what was the question about and they explained why it is invalid…

For some with Intel or AMD X86 chips, Mr. Chromebox offers a BIOS that will allow another OS to be installed. I got a few more years out of Acer Chrombook with this BIOS and an 2.5" SSD upgrade.

This is a good point, actually I think schools should buy the leftover devices and then run linux on them so kids can be learning things like django at school.

Kids have a lot of other important things to learn first. But perhaps for some high school elective.

One can run ChromeOS on old, used devices. They won't have quite the same security, but are a lot better than nothing.

I’m still using one of those as an electronics workbench machine.

Also, none of the open source alternatives support simultaneous multiuser access.

Users can slowly adapt, but most businesses larger than a sole proprietorship need multiuser capability.

One would think it can't be that hard to put together a webapp to freaking sum up some numbers, but nobody seem to want to do it in open source.

It could be because it's indeed so easy that it's boring, or could be that anyone with the necessary knowledge of accounting standards makes way more money doing other stuff than coding for free.

I'd assume that the overlap between capable open source developers and people who enjoy accounting enough to write their own accounting solution is fairly small.
