I try to remember that we're voting for an entire administration and presidential appointments, an apparatus much larger than one old man. It's cold comfort, but it's something.
As I'm watching it, Mozart's Requiem in D minor is playing in my head.
Upvote for semi-unpopular opinion.
I think you're wrong about the shortage being 'solved' by NAT. NAT is great for LAN and WAN in the developed world, but there are billions of folks in remote developing areas where it's not much help. It also severely limits the big chunks of address spaces that can be allocated to business, universities, governments, etc. It is not a trivial problem waved away by NAT.
I think it will continue to be a very gradual but relentless rollout of IPv6. Not saying it will be fast. But 30 years from now, if we haven't destroyed civilization, I suspect IPv4 will be a quaint relic. And IPv6 will never run out of addresses.
That is fascinating. I wonder if the wavelength of green light is better because of something akin to harmonic resonance.
Kyle uses "son" a lot. Makes me chuckle.
I had a buddy in the UK I chatted with on this thing in the early days. We thought we were so cool using it. We were not.
I need to rewatch the episode, but I also felt like his recognition of him went deeper than "oh yeah, you're that guy we saw in the street before with Mae". Same thing with Yord.

And maybe they didn't realize it until he was up close and personal, because he was much older / different.
Researchers will be studying Trump and his followers for decades to come. A gold mine of data to help them better understand the mechanisms of authoritarian populism and cognitive dissonance.
I felt bad reading this. Fast food is way too expensive here in 2024. And then you had to write an essay justifying yourself because of all the pedantic jerks who love to pounce on the smallest of things.
Horizon Forbidden West. Went on sale earlier this week.
