So, ICANN?

For less than half that, I host my personal email with Postfix and Dovecot. Totally worth it to automate archiving and cut down on spam.

I might also have a really stupid website^H^H^H^Hpage "counting" how many hours of daylight we saved. (Hint: It's just a static page with the number 0 on it.)

In the almost 11 years I have owned my home, I just hosted a group for the second time. It was a game night with dinner.

You are right: It was work, it was money. I am not exactly a social butterfly, but even I was able to pull off a gathering of four other people. It was so worth it, because we all had an absolute blast.

It was also very much needed. So I, for one, plan on doing my part to counter this trend.

> On September 9, 2026, Automattic confirmed that its board had placed founder and CEO Matt Mullenweg on paid leave and appointed CFO Mark Davies as interim CEO. Mullenweg reportedly remained a director and voted against the board's decision.

As if I need another reason to despise Mullenweg, this is a classic conflict of interest. Voting as a director on your own employment is an excellent form of self-sabotage.

I think the key phrase here is, "an obscure small town." There may only be a single mention of this place, hence the only one on which a response can be based. This says more about the user's understanding of LLMs than it does about LLMs.

Not if he controls the funds. Tax deductions are only afforded to contributions if they are charitable and am actual gift. If the contributor benefits, it is bit deductible, and control of donated funds is a benefit, as is the ability to direct funds to a particular person or persons.

You could be right. But plenty of websites with useful information intentionally obfuscate their pages to trick the browser into disabling reader mode.

No, NAT64 was invented so v6-only hosts could access v4-only resources. CGNAT was invented so v4 hosts can have a v4 address without having to purchase limited public address space.

I tend to despise senders that believe email is always an effective real-time channel. Delays happen for all sorts of reasons, ranging from massive outages to scanning incoming emails for spam or malware (my corporate email is sloooow).

Greylisting has been so effective for my personal email, I don't mind waiting a bit on the rare occasion (by now, most senders are already recognized). And on the rare occasion I get spam, it's been cathartic, adding a rule to reject the sender with a quippy SMTP eerror. It's also been easy enough just to forward it to [email protected], because it's almost always from Gmail.

We replaced VHS with DVDs. It took 42 years before we gave up on VHS. DVDs have been around for 29 years but were mostly replaced with BDs before disappearing off the shelves in favor of streaming.

We replaced records with tapes, tapes with more tapes, and more tapes with CDs before they, too, disappeared from the shelves in favor of streaming. Except that some stalwarts have successfully resurrected vinyl.

We replaced AM with FM, and analog radio with digital radio, then streaming. We replaced broadcast analog TV with digital, then cable and satelite, then streaming. Mostly.

None of these changes were backwards compatible, and all of them were meant for the general public. They took a while. They were successful.

I don't think they are arguing for a decrease. I took flatline and peter out to mean stabilize.

The problem of IPv6 adoption in the US was largely engineered by major ISPs not caring while hardware manufacturers take their cues from major ISPs.

Why would CGNAT be deployed as a response to IPv6 on mobile? I don't understand the logic there. CGNAT is deployed due to a shortage of publicly routable IPv4 addresses. IPv6 was introduced due to having much larger publicly routable space.
