Looks like a chatroom. What about private messaging

kkovacs · 2026-01-01T11:01:55 1767265315

That could be a logical next step!

What OS, window manager, etc is this?

I guess this could be fun for people using shared VPN and proxy services

kkovacs · 2026-01-01T11:05:27 1767265527

Heh, I never thought about that, but it's true.

Ushering in the Silk Road 2.0 haha

Let's hope this not end with me taken away in handcuffs, lol :)

edmundsparrow · 2026-01-01T10:33:27 1767263607

This is cool. I can use this on gnokestation

kkovacs · 2026-01-01T11:03:36 1767265416

Thanks for the encouragement, Edmund!

Dude, IPv6… We are in 2026.

The GUA are 128 bits, every one of us is alone.

  i netted six
  alone in a scope of the entire globe,
  temporary,
  dynamic.

zinekeller · 2026-01-01T14:39:52 1767278392

Yeah, it should probably be /64 for IPv6

kkovacs · 2026-01-01T19:52:40 1767297160

Could be done, but nothing is EVER simple regarding IPv6. :) What about EUI-64? Any special cases regarding TEREDO, ORCHID2, 6to4 addressing scheme (NOT the same as NAT64!), etc...?

Nevertheless, something like this could be an option.

kkovacs · 2026-01-01T00:54:48 1767228888

You would be surprised how many of us are on IPv4 :) With GUA, who needs tracking cookies? ;)
