IPv4 ran out a decade ago, the only reason why it continues to work at all is because of two things:

- Compatibility bridges for v6-only hosts to connect to v4 servers

- The IP address market encouraging old v4 allocation owners to sell off their space (at the expense of a bloated routing table)

In 2009, IANA and the RIRs created a process for buying and selling IP addresses. Which is something they never wanted to allow, but their hand was forced by the abysmal levels of v6 adoption back then. Two years later IANA would allocate the last /8s, and the RIRs that got those allocations would exhaust them in the years following[1]. The only virgin v4 address space remaining is reserved specifically for ISPs setting up v4 compatibility for native v6 networks.

You did not notice this because the v6 transition has already happened, and it was boring. In 2023, Google reports 40-45% v6 adoption[0]. This is largely due to LTE making v6 a mandatory feature. Had we kept mobile traffic on v4, networks would've adopted shedloads of CGNAT, and even then that hits a wall when you start running out of ephemeral ports to disguise addressing information inside of. This would have resulted in significantly worse behavior for smartphone users, especially in heavily populated countries like India (which have far higher v6 utilization).

A "real" VPN is actually a pretty poor way to increase privacy when browsing the web. It essentially just swaps out the (often moderately trustworthy) ISP with an often even more dubious VPN provider.

MASQUE (which iCloud Private Relay already uses, and Google could use too) can do significantly better.

Of course, having a choice of more MASQUE providers than just Apple and Google is important.
Some excerpts below. Imagine a world where everyone knew that it costs $0 to look up records from a database with 17.6 million rows. The whole db fits in memory even on a laptop.

>More than 17.6 million unclaimed properties under that amount — un-cashed checks or money from forgotten bank accounts — are worth a collective $189.6 million, according to data from the Michigan Treasury, which contends that putting those properties on its public search website would not be “practical.”

> “We set $50 as a per property minimum because with millions of properties in our custody (many less than $1.00), listing everything is not practical, from system storage and cost perspectives,” he told Bridge Michigan.

>Stanton noted that residents can still find out if you own any unclaimed properties worth less than $50 by phoning the state call center (517-636-5320) between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on weekdays.

>Massachusetts made a similar change last year, and several other states had already listed properties worth less than $50 on their unclaimed property websites, including California, Indiana, Missouri, Idaho, Hawaii and Wyoming — which list exact values.

>Doing the same should not be hard in Michigan because the state uses the same vendor as Connecticut, Lizzi said, pointing to Kelmar Associates LLC of Massachusetts, which is currently managing Michigan’s unclaimed property database under a $4.4 million contract that runs through September 2027.
The pros section feels a little light. The reason an immutable OS is attractive is to be able to cleanly remove files/folders from the system.
That's been fixed (although it was fixed years later than it should have been).
I'd argue that VB6 got close. But yeah, programming isn't particularly a "the people" sort of activity.
> Picosecond resolution would bring those errors down to the millimeter and micrometer ranges. Femtosecond resolution would bring the errors down to nanometers.

And nobody can measure the signal that precisely.
Not being sarcastic. But the way we work in Linux community is tell people everything works and it's all awesome, windows sucks. Then you format your disks with Linux, we disappear when you realize most things you do on a computer don't work and we move on to the next person..or we tell you to crack open an editor and get coding
Are there any resources available to help me get started with this process? I'm also interested in fine-tuning a model for my native language.
But is it possible to implement this in a way that the user can rely on beyond google saying “trust me bro, we implemented this right and have no ability to turn this off without you knowing about it even if we'd rather you not know”?
Oh, I wonder if this is actually the (at least short-term) motivation for Google's much-criticized WEI [1] efforts?

MASQUE lacking a feedback channel for websites to report spam/abuse was explicitly given as a motivation there, as far as I remember.

I'm still skeptical of WEI as a whole until we know more, though.

What if one person wants to continue working 40 hours so they can save more to go on a big holiday or retire sooner?

Thats only in a day dream about how surpluses in the systems work. Read the history of banking. Wall St will show up and convince you to hand over surplus to protect it, and handle all the hassles of dealing with others who need it. This way they control the price others pay. And make sure they are in their debt forever or go bankrupt.

How long would you keep paying them? Machines have never obsoleted workers. If we look at how many jobs have been replaced by machines and computers, you’d expect to see a hundred trillion unemployed people. But the reality is they haven’t put people out of work, only changed what we work on and how much stuff we have to consume.

15-20fps is a pretty normal framerate for many games on the real Nintendo 64 hardware, especially the later ones from Rare.
It’s not the coffeeshop, it’s the Wi-Fi vendor that gives them some perks for implementing some sort of wall on the network. Like when you join the network and have to click through to get access, that’s a vendor that could be data mining

Mobile ones are the worst and probably what inspired apple to implement private relay to begin with. I hope they provide it for third party apps soon.
Ah, so basically the distinction is private relaying at the HTTP exchange level vs. at the TLS flow level?

MASQUE is more about tunneling TLS flows (i.e. TCP or TCP-ish connections such as QUIC/HTTP 3) than about the IP layer, is my understanding, but I suppose that's what you mean by IPsec take 2?
Electric buses are nice to have, but they seem sort of performative. For the same cost we could simply increase the number of buses and eliminate people driving their children to school alone.
I would still disagree. 80s home computers pretty much all came with BASIC built-in, up to the PCs with QBASIC. The documentation was right there, and you had everything you needed to just boot up and start programming. Many even booted up within the programming language by default.

And at the time, most programs were text-mode. I/O was only keyboard, screen, and disk (and maybe mouse, joystick, and serial port if you wanted to get fancy). When your program started you had full control of the entire system. There was no multitasking, 100+ processes running in the background, nor GUI architecture over an OS subsystem. So you only needed to learn a very very few things to be able to build software roughly equivalent to professional store-bought software. Simple logic and data structures and 3-6 types of I/O and that was it.

From there it was a short step to something more powerful like Turbo Pascal or Visual Basic, again both of which were pretty much "batteries included" everything you need in one tool.

Today's landscape with its enormous stacks, build tools, cambrian explosion of languages, frameworks, and libraries, etc., and layers upon layers of abstraction and indirection between you and the machine, plus countless dependencies, package managers, containers, etc., all of which are constantly changing and shifting out from under you, is baffling even to professional developers.

Luckily, it is easier to find documentation, tutorials, and other actual people to ask about stuff. But also a lot of that is quickly outdated, faddish and evangelical, just assumes that you already know 500 other things, or assumes that you know absolutely nothing, so only covers the barest basics.

So it's really still more difficult than just picking up a book about C, QBASIC, Turbo Pascal, or Visual Basic and getting started was back in the day.
> Why was atmospheric CO2 relatively constant for thousands of years prior to industrialization?

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Here's 800K years of indisputable and reliable data for you:

> All of those forest fires were still happening.

The up/down cycle, over the last 800K years has been somewhere in the range of 50K up and 100K down for a 100ppm change.

Why did it go up when humanity wasn't even around (or was a rounding error)?

Things burned. Massive continental-scale forest fires. Tens of thousands of years of that.

Why did it go down?

Weather. Rain. Hurricanes. Cyclones. Forests growing again. Over tens of thousands of years.

> I’d suggest that your thinking is unsound and you should reconsider where your ideas come from.

These are not ideas. This is data and science. Not the bull being floated around by the people making billions with this nonsense.

Do not confuse me saying that the climate change nonsense being floated is a fantasy with climate change denial.

These two things are VERY different. Yes, we managed to rapidly increase CO2 concentration. We did that. We absolutely did. That is absolutely true.

No, we are not going to "save the planet". We are not going to achieve zero carbon and we sure as hell not going to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentration in any even remotely close to a human lifetime. Not even a thousand years. That is complete nonsense. That's the nonsense. The falsehoods. The lies.

They have kids scared that they are going to die in a dozen years. What they did to Greta Thunberg should be classified as child abuse. They are pushing around complete nonsense because they've been able to convince so many people that this shit is real that now billions are being made. It's a snowball.

What's sad is that, if people don't wake up, the damage this is going to cause will be irreversible. Instead of burning billions on this nonsense we ought to be focusing on things that can have exponentially greater impact on society and the environment.

Here's some homework: Go research how many container ships trips are made to/from China per year. Then research how much fuel they use. Then go learn about bunker fuel (what they burn) and how horrible the stuff is.

What would I spend billions of dollars on? Subsidizing major inshoring of as many industries as humanly possible in the US, Europe and other places. What we are doing to the planet by shipping to/from China is an absolute abomination. The impact of responsible inshoring of industries and the near elimination of containership traffic would dwarf anything else anyone is talking about these days.

Do not accept what they have been shoving into your brains. The emperor has no clothes.

The problem I had with flatpak and the immutable approach in general is that I can't modify them in ways that aren't supported by the developer. For example, I use decsync to sync my calandars but as far as I can tell, it's impossible to add the decsync plugin to the evolution flatpak.

Until these immutable systems support the stacking of custom overlay filesystems as a first class feature^1, people will continue to run mutable systems.

I try my best to carefully manage it. All compostable biomatter goes into compost, with the only exception being anything salty. I also shovel up all the animal plop and mix that into the soil twice a year. I haven't done any scientific soil tests, but my plants seem to be more productive as the years have gone by, so I guess it's doing the trick. I have a lot of forested land, and my additional plan starting this year is to collect leaves, run them over with the lawn mower a bunch, use it as mulch during the growing season, and then till that into the soil in the Fall.
Seeing as how they're closing because they can't afford to stay open, I'd imagine the money will go to bills.

Couple of things:

- If Tor was 'easier' for the end-user or better supported by the centralised pillars of the Internet (such as Google), maybe "spam or worse" traffic would be made a much smaller percentage and improve Tor's reputation

- Does this mean different scales of anonymity/privacy? Tor for the "spam or worse", and this solution of Google's for the casual, not-quite-as-paranoid, private individual?

P.S. You're absolutely right in your paranoia regarding "I don’t want to be associated with". I've had a member of law enforcement accuse me of, basically, being worthy of suspicion (up to and including legal violation of my rights), because I've "got tor on my computer" (yes, that's their level of understanding). They also said that running Virtual Machines and downloading things from Mega will also get you put on a list.

I'd rather Google assist to improve Tor (and it's associated reputation) than "create my own amusement park with blackjack and hookers". In this case, I think one big pool is better than numerous small ones.

P.S. Mega seems to host a number of Android ROMs, which is my primary, and possibly singular, use case.

The owners have the right to do sell the bikes and collect the cash. They can spend it for anything they wish - to start a new venture, to enjoy life, to light it on fire, whatever. That's the deal they entered into when they chose to become the owners of this collection.

It's no different than if an individual sold a house or a baseball card. They can spend the cash however they like.

> Leave the VPN to the VPN providers, IMHO.

I'm as skeptical about Google's privacy efforts as the next person, but I think most existing commercial VPNs are even worse.

They gain ISP-level insights into your traffic, and history has shown that at least some of them aren't really more trustworthy than the worst ISPs out there (in that they've also been caught selling or at least collecting customer traffic flows, despite all the promises to not keep any logs).

MASQUE is a much better take on browsing privacy. I really do hope that today's VPN providers will be tomorrow's MASQUE proxy providers.

I mean, for smaller routers that had static routes set for that subnet, it would probably just keep working - the issue being that trying to get to real addresses in the 1.0.0.0/8 network (or parts of it) wouldn't work.

If you were BGP peering then you'd probably get a real route into your local table though.

So yeah, some stuff would probably have just broken, but that's the risk you take using parts of the IP space you shouldn't be using!

Google has a history of welcoming the product on their platform without taking ownership or responsibility for maintaining it. It does the same thing with Elastic, Confluent, and Redis. I’m guessing Hashicorp is deploying infrastructure on Google cloud on the customers’ behalf. It’s not costing Google anything because they’re not reselling it. AWS does something similar with it’s Marketplace, but customers prefer the AWS full-service product rather than adding it to their environment by network peering or deploying templates in their account.
To be honest, I think our only chance / defense is to build these and put 100% of the emphasis on training them to eradicate any ground or air based killbots as quickly as possible.

I won't disagree there. In fact if I was the NSA/CIA/etc, I'd just make a VPN provider, and let the traffic roll in, no need to goto the traffic, if they just give it to you, and you get the ability to have trusted access to their machine to boot...

Yes, I know OpenVPN, etc. But 'cmon, we know people would fall for the above :).
