Now there is.
Now, try starting a new ISP without CGNAT (which will lead to a garbage experience for everyone) or IPv6. You'll have to spend literal tens (if not hundreds) of millions just on IP addresses alone.
Stateless NAT is also possible, but then it has to be 1:1. Which has it's purpose, but is rarely used.
A practical example would be with IPv6 if your ISP doesn't allocate you a static prefix. Stateless NAT would allow you to use a /64 from the private range of fd00::/8 in your local network which the router would translate to your globally unique /64. No state needed, because there would be as many IPs available in your LAN prefix as in your GUA prefix. All it would do would be translating fdxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:1234:1234:1234:1234 to 2yyy:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy:1234:1234:1234:1234 and vice versa.
I've also done stateless NAT on IPv4. When you request more IPs from some cloud providers, they assign you a bunch of /32s, not a proper subnet, virtually requiring you to run a cloud router.
Absolutely not. To me, it's a miracle that the internet even works.

BGP is a complete mess.
You lose Touch ID & Apple Pay
It’s also a timeless design. The 2008 unibody MacBooks look like they could have been made brand new yesterday, with the only giveaways being the I/O and the bezels on the display.
It’s safe to say that the design will almost certainly (reasonably) never get old.
A version of Windows like that exists, but you can’t buy it.
It’s called Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 (21H2).
Howver, there’s a free evaluation version available from MS. If you’re really that interested in it, I’m sure you’ll figure out how to promote that “evaluation” version to “retail” and then kms activate it.
I’m daily driving it. And loving it.
py-kms is freely available on GitHub, and so are Windows Activation Tools.
While arguably py-kms doesn’t violate anything, as it’s a cleanroom implementation of the KMS server, Windows Activation Tools definitely does.
Either way, MS could eradicate all of those repositories, they aren’t doing it.
And you've killed SPAC as a concept.
Arguably Windows for servers is a joke in itself. What can it do, besides Active Directory and Exchange, that Linux can't?
(I know LDAP exists, but let's not pretend that AD isn't superior in almost every way imaginable)
1. Set up a new mailserver/register an email somewhere else; 2. Google Takeout your existing data; 3. Redirect all your incoming mail from GMail to your new email address; 4. Change over the email address of all services you use.
And if you did that with a consumer ISP, they would terminate you as a customer very quickly. At which point you’ll have to pay cloud provider for traffic, or a T1 network for IP transit (alongside colocation fees and actually putting a server in a datacenter and all that).
Not at scale. 50TB per month is nothing. That’s 151mbps. Most transit providers will be okay with a 10% commitment, so this is a gigabit port which is like $60-300/mo.
Assuming 50 people would download the 1PB archive from the provider, that would require at least 151gbps of bandwidth, rounded up to 200gbps, at the cheapest transit provider (HE) this is still at least $12k/mo for transit alone.
Is that dirt-cheap for a non-profit? I’m not sure.
“I didn’t see them” is not the “get-out-of-jail-free” card when it comes to manslaughter.
And 42% of that is Steam Deck...
It's a little bit disappointing, to be honest.
Trivial. Just put Cloudflare in front of it.
Asides from potential address conflicts, should your work VPN space overlap with your LAN subnet, for example.
They should have charged more. $3.50/mo per IP for their average customer is going to be a completely insignificant amount of money.
Is this valuable use of IPv4 space? I think yes.
You absolutely can sell ASNs or ASN blocks, just like you can sell IPs.
Want to sell an ASN? Ask the buyer for money. When the money is in your account/escrow, transfer the ASN to them. Get money. Sale complete.
But that’s besides the point, this has got nothing to do with ASNs.
If you participate in the stock market at all, you indirectly benefit from HFTs lowering the bid/ask spread and therefore getting a better price. Now matter how insignificant, but the benefit is there.
Of course if we're dealing in millions, not thousands, then the benefit is more pronounced, but a couple of cents here or there still make a difference.
At the very worst HFT firms are a net neutral.

Can you elaborate on this further? I don't see how HFTs make money at the expense of mainstreet investors. HFTs make money on the expense of inefficiencies, therefore making the markets more efficient.
> If a company is valuable now, it'll be valuable in 5 minutes.
That’s not necessarily true.
