But apparently still somehow good for The Economy™!

They'll just get AI to design hard drives that don't fail and chips that are immune to cosmic rays, duh.

my response is basically not until I understand it...

That was probably a good call, firewalling and (lack of) DHCP especially is quite different so just trying to use v4 concepts on v6 addresses/networks is almost a guaranteed bad time

Everyone seems to think that IPv6 is a complicated solution to a simple problem, it's not. If you want to learn more, I managed to track down an article I read a while ago from one of the original IPng engineers. https://github.com/becarpenter/book6/blob/main/01.%20Introduction%20and%20Foreword/Why%20IPv6%20is%20so%20complicated.md

That's not how header backward compatibility works. IPv4 routers would discard the packet, not prepend zeroes.

Probably would've been worthless since they were talking over it

Are you saying asymmetric cryptography doesn't exist or is not secure? You may want to collect your research prize and/or bring down the global banking system

I assume it would be something like a key that gets used to generate disposable signatures, not transmitted directly. But I've also been unable to find actual technical details, the article mentions a "GitHub proposal" without linking to it but i couldn't find anything in their repos. Their blog has nothing either

Why do you assume it's one static unchanging token? That's not how cryptography works, you can issue virtually unlimited signatures or challenges/responses without the other party knowing your private key

Does the definition of VTOL not include the ability to transition to forward thrust? Looks cool but I'd just call it a multicopter
