> UUID Version 2 (v2) is reserved for security IDs with no known details.
I found the details in about 2 minutes: Click the link in the article to take me to the section of RFC 9562 that says it's defined as part of DCE, click the first link in that paragraph to go to the spec, ctrl-f "UUID", then jump to appendix A (deceptively named "Universal Unique Identifier") which has all the details.
Is it really too much to ask to CLICK YOUR OWN LINKS?
- octernion 2y agohaha I had the precise same thought process and immediately didn't finish the article since they didn't have much attention to detail. i enjoyed reading the appendix though as a snapshot of time.

- dan-robertson 2y agoI mean, there’s two things that one might learn about. One is reading a specification for what a v2 uuid is. The other is learning information about the circumstances of a UUID’s generation from the uuid. Obviously the sentence was about the latter, as could be determined from the context as the other versions are described as being generated from specific things. I agree the sentence is a bit unclear, but I don’t think it’s misleading or whatever.
