I genuinely and truly wish that a group of friends and relatives would stage an intervention for my Internet addiction. I’m open about it, but it seems like people don’t care very much. I would be happy to wear a silly costume!!

Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the Star Trek theme song, but he did it for kind of an asshole reason.
Without Courage’s knowledge, Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the theme, not in the expectation that they would ever be sung, but in order to claim a 50% share of the music’s performance royalties. Although there was never any litigation, Courage later commented that he considered Roddenberry’s conduct unethical. Roddenberry was quoted as responding, “Hey, I have to get some money somewhere. I’m sure not gonna get it out of the profits of Star Trek.”

comment from the forum:
New ISPs in my country are IPv6-only because there is no new IPv4 space to be provided to them. They do have a over-shared IPv4 address by CGNAT but due to the oversharing, it is unstable and not rare to be offline. For these companies, the internet access is stable only in IPv6.
Thinking about the server-side, some cloud providers are making extra charges for IPv4 addresses (e.g.: Vultr.com) so most of the servers in my company are IPv6-only. Cloning github repositories is very cumbersome due to the lack of IPv6 support and this issue affects me and my team mates on a daily basis.
The math is simple: there are 4.88 billion internet users in the world but the IPv4 space only provides 4 billion addresses. It’s over: IPv4 is obsolete and is provided in a legacy mode. Current applications and services must be IPv6 enabled otherwise it should be seen as obsolete. For that matter, Github.com is an obsolete service because it relies on obsolete technology as IPv4.
I joined the WGA in 1986 and have been through several strikes with them. We made gains in all of them, but some issues are more important than others… and this year’s strike is the most important of my lifetime.
Me too. Because he posted the damned comment twice.
