To me the hoops that smoothbrains will jump through to avoid IPv6 and stay on legacy IPv4, especially when hosting, is pathetic. NAT, port forwarding, tunnels, blah blah blah blah.

I have something like ~1.2 trillion times the number of routable addresses that the entire IPv4 space has. Not all are reachable, of course, just the services that need incoming access and they're each on their own isolated DMZ.

Forgot to add: if you enable IPv6, be sure to use the browser extension IPvFoo. It shows a small 4 or 6 in your URI bar to let you know what protocol you're connecting to. Once enabled, you'll see just how much stuff out there actually is IPv6.

Started the move about 18 months ago when I decided to get off my lazy ass. My ISP gives out a /56 prefix, so that lets me run 256 /64 subnets/VLANs in the house, currently there are ~10 in use. Everything get a GUA through SLAAC and I use RAs (Router Advertisements) to give ULAs to everything. Any external facing services get their own VLAN and /64 for the system(s) as needed. Firewall blocks all incoming as they usually do by default and I punch a hole for the external-facing systems. They can't reach back into the network, they only answer the phone. All the systems update DNS dynamically if the prefix or full address ever change.

I have an SSH bastion set up. In all this time there has not been a single SSH attempt from the internet. On IPv4 it was constant background noice.
For those legacy IPv4-only systems on the internet, I set up NAT64. I have an IoT VLAN and IoT 2.4 GHz wireless network that are only IPv4 because a lot of IoT network stacks are junk.

I'm still farting around with it, but man oh man, there's no way I'd go back to IPv4. It was one of the best moves I've done in ages.

Or force them to keep their constellations lower, which means the satellites have to carry more fuel to fight drag, but if they fail they'll just deorbit in a few years. You can go a bit lower and use air-breathing ion thrusters as well, and those will deorbit even faster.

The big danger is the stuff in higher orbits that takes 100-1000 years to come down.

I mean, a small online bookstore pivoted to become one of the most foundational structural elements of the internet.

Meh, sounds like a charge of Arson would be warranted, but not Attempted Murder.

Well, Hell, *I* can clone OSS in seconds via a pull. Jeebus. AI blah blah blah AI staff cuts blah blah blah paradigm shift....yawn.

Thank you, Baby Jesus.

Sure...certainly, I'll totally delete the source code....

Fucking clown shoes, y'all.

Think I'll be shorting Anthropic....

I wish I still had mod points for your post. Bwah ha ha ha ha.

Dusting off my copy of Apollo 13. Godspeed, crew.

Why not deliberately crash your "project" into other satellites, yours designed to turn LEO (low Earth orbit) into an un-navigable morass of space junk, an orbital and space-deniable attack? What's it cost, less than $100k to launch a denial-of-space attack with a 1U cubesat?

Oops, go to all the trouble of living "forever" only to find yourself assassinated.

The development around previously-agrarian weather sites into urban heat islands is already a big contributor to the rise in the temperature record attributed to anthropogenic CO2 emissions causing climate change. Now they'll just have a way to double the claimed harm -- the CO2 emissions from the power plants fueling the data centers, and the waste heat from the centers themselves sited on ex-farmland.

Diabeetus!

Damn, now I won't be able to create Sora videos with lightsaber fighting cats or a mustachioed crusty old Wilford Brimley giving dire warnings of diabetes and crab people! What's this world coming to?
