Sure. But the IPv6 implementation is a bit like if we went “you know the y2038 problem of 32 bit numbers, and how goin under 1970 is sometimes hard? Lets solve it by making it start from the big bang and store time as a 256 bit integer so we don’t run out until year 3.1 x 10^69”.

IPv6 is big enough for 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 unique addresses. Are we expecting to create an universe consuming army of exponentially replicating paper clip converting robots that each need an IPv6 address or something?

IPv6 is big enough to give 10 billion unique addresses for every grain of sand on earth and still have some left over. Just in case we need to, I guess.

They went just a teeny tiny little bit overboard with the address space. Ipv4 is four groups between 0 and 255, ipv6 is eight groups of four digit hex, 0000 to ffff - e.g the Google DNS ipv4 address is 8.8.8.8. the ipv6 one is 2001:4860:4860:0:0:0:0:8888 (thankfully at least some devices allow using :: to skip all the zeroes, so it’s “just” 2001:4860:4860::8888)

But we now have enough ipv6 addresses to give more than 10 billion ipv6 addresses to every single grain of sand on earth, and still have some left over.

Assuming 1 second per swap, a 64 disk tower of hanoi would take 585 billion years to solve - it has 2^64 -1 swaps.

Alphabet uses it for abc.xyz because it’s funny, but the .xyz registrar is the British Team Internet/CentralNic.

Just like how they use youtu.be and goo.gl, but Alphabet doesn’t own Belgium or Greenland either. At least, not yet.

Because it seems like you disliked them and “off” is one of the controllable options?
But I guess you are at a so advanced level of not giving a shit that you don’t even care that they dance around.

I can read that without any issues whatsoever.

But. If. You. Put. Periods. Between. Each. Word. My brain will force a pause between every single one and I can’t override it.

Would be neat if Google got caught with a GDPR violation, the max fine is 4% of your global revenue, which for Google would be 12.2 billion.

So far the biggest has been Meta who was hit for 1.2 billion.

If there is an exe, it’s under the releases link. On desktop it’s on the right sidebar below “About”. On mobile it’s at the bottom after the readme blurb.

It’s not obvious because the code is the main focus and GitHub would much rather people host their releases somewhere else.

Discord is great for providing a community chatroom for both voice and text. It started, and still is, as the combination of IRC and Teamspeak/Ventrilo, now just with more bloat and memes. That people are trying to use the “IRCTeamspeak” as the entire information platform for their open source project is just mental, as it puts everything hidden behind a login requirement, unindexable and unsearchable on any search engine in an ever-changing stream of unrelated discussion.

Stick your bug reports and issues in a Github/Gitlab etc tracker, your information into a Wiki, and set up a forum. The discord can exist alongside these, but it cannot properly replace any of them.

Just like the two ends of a string create a singular string end.

“Known for: ReiserFS, murder” kinda makes it sound like the dude invented both.

And sometimes actual BT beacons made specifically for that reason. It’s one of the ways shopping centres and their apps keep track what shops people visit.

Is the source code released under a license that allows you to use, change and distribute it? Then yes, it’s open source. Open collaboration is a separate thing.
