Not really possible.

Implementing arbitrary standards is not "the right thing". Especially failed standards such as RCS.

I think that sound is pretty cool! It also works as some kind of feedback.

This one is funny, because conservatives have used archive.is for some time to archive and mock left-leaning websites and some of them blocked archive.is in the past and still block archive.is today.

VOX for example returns a 0-sized page for archive.is. In the past VICE returned 404s to archive.is https://i.imgur.com/OnFdVpS.jpg

What I mean to say is that these services are useful but they are not faultless.

The only reason I can still post here is that I don't have a static IP address. So yes, they are the root of all evil.

I thought it worked retroactively too.

Okay, is this really true or not? Because I marked my FB acc for deletion a few days ago and reading this so much is making me think of cancelling and waiting until now, but it really doesn't make much sense

>UCSD Caida uses it for their network telescope (pretending to use it for amateur radio) and won't give it back.

Why do we have to convince them to give it back? It's not like IP addresses are tangible and we have to break into their offices to steal them. Major ISPs could stop all routes with them and those addresses could be recovered and reassigned to other AS's

I understand this is quite a big threshold to cross, but it feels necessary.

Also some implementations (including Windows) [0] expose the MAC address of your device to the Internet, creating a huge privacy problem. IPv6 is a mess.

>we still have around nine million recovered IPv4 addresses in our available pool. Under current policy and growth rates, we expect these to last a further two years.

And by then they will have recovered even more. The end of IPv4 is a lie, and how bad IPv6 is and the lack of good transitioning systems doesn't help.
