Time Nick Message 01:16 jonadab sfan5: Realistically, hosting a public internet service out of your house is something only a small fraction of a percent of people want to do. 01:17 jonadab Even most computer geeks would prefer to purchase hosting, which brings in the ability to do stuff like host 500 people's websites on a single address. 01:18 jonadab If ISPs charged people even a dollar a month extra for a public IPv4 address, most people would decline. 01:18 jonadab P2P networks are a more difficult problem, but it's a _solved_ more difficult problem. 03:02 MTDiscord introducing a middle-man to extract rent is the worst possible solution to artificial scarcity problem 03:03 MTDiscord More address space is a good solution, but IPv6 dropped the ball by trying to change everything at once, and not offering backwards compatibility 04:44 MTDiscord IPv6 did a good job solving the problem that people wanted it to solve, where they went wrong was trying to solve every other problem at the same time. I wonder what happened to IPv5, and it makes me wonder if there was actually a sane middle solution in there somewhere that wouldn't necessarily be perfectly future-proof but would have been a next step we could actually reach from where we're standing now. 07:36 json Nodeverse is an interesting game. I hope version 0.5 will be released soon 13:55 MTDiscord DSP has shown me the cpp crate, so combined with the plutonium crate, I have devised a way for C++ programmers to transition over to Rust https://github.com/jordan4ibanez/rustxx/blob/master/src/main.rs 15:22 jagtalon just wanted to say that i'm blown away with minetest (playing mineclone2). it's so good! i'm excited to host it and play with friends 15:58 s20 ~~I hope you land safely~~ 17:09 jonadab I'll grant that if there'd been a successor to IPv4 that just made each address 64-bit instead of 32-bit, represented as a dotted-quad of four numbers from 0 to 65535, and if all four numbers are less than 128 then the address is by definition assigned to the same system as the corresponding IPv4 one, and as few other changes as possible to make that work, it would've cought on a great deal faster than 17:09 jonadab IPv6.
