It'd end when we implement a next generation IP addressing scheme. I'm not very big fan of IPv6 though. I'd prefer a 64-bit address format. IPv6 would only promote incautious distribution which would again result in address space exhaustion, more abuse and increased cybercrime.

Interesting. What about ipv6 don't you like, and why would a 64-bit scheme remedy it?

>IPv6 would only promote incautious distribution which would again result in address space exhaustion

There are more ipv6 addresses than there are atoms in the earth. Exhaustion won't be a concern for generations.

>more abuse and increased cybercrime.

IP address-based mitigations are already not effective with v4, can you talk about why v6 makes this worse?


It's going to take those conservative netadmins another 10 to 20 years to learn that HTTP/3 or QUIC works over UDP and that it needs to be enabled. So... happy buffering and watching spinners until then.

Security. I know it's boring for most, but important for those who need to handle cybersecurity issues.

This is a great addition to the best patterns and practices in Rust. Worth noting and using. In JavaScript there's the proposal of "do expressions" which accomplish the same.

I don't believe that it's about the wellbeing of children. They will introduce total digital control in the name of high ideas, when in fact they'll be above that. We've seen this already with age verification for porn sites in UK. Even those exact people who voted for it, used VPNs to bypass the law they've created themselves. It's a laughterhouse.

In addition to that, one must be really naive to think that well-organized criminals won't arrange non-mainstream devices with custom modified Android or a new kind of Linux-based OS and/or protocol, without central authority, or with central servers in "certain" countries, that will bypass the stupid limitations.

Anybody who thinks that criminal gangs with paying members use WhatsApp for CSAM is an idiot.

When it comes to porn sites, only those big ones are going to be affected by this, but they're going to be affected badly. Stuff will be shared via some covert file-sharing mechanisms that will ALWAYS slip under the radar.

This surveillance will only target and affect normal people, and will take away your privacy for good, forever.

Remember that politicians are voted for on the basis of who's a better stand-up speaker, after only a few minutes of hearing/watching them, or even less than this, because your sibling told you so. They're not selected based on objective judgement of their competence, balanced view of the world which they base on data and science, but who's able to light your emotions sufficiently so that you remember that until you cast the ballot. Therefore most of them are just great drama actors, but are incompetent in all other areas.

Some say "I don't care, let them proceed, because I don't do anything wrong, and have nothing to hide". You'll see people arrested, investigated and imprisoned due to false positives. We've seen that already, but not to the extent this law is going to bring.

And one more. Not very far from now we'll experience AI and robots enforcing this digital utopia. West is going downhill. There will come a time when you'll call China with its social scoring system a "truly free world".

He's maybe referring to the fact that platforms such as Spotify, Tidal etc. doesn't offer music in Opus format - high quality while conserving bandwidth and storage. Instead they try to win the market using "master" or "lossless" quality, which is pretty much b.s.

It's already third time on Hacker News. So, for the third time, no, thank you, OpenAI and ChatGPT doesn't cut it for me.


You’ve spammed this comment all over HN.
