Pretty sure you'll want to consider usage by teams writing in all of Swift, Java, and Javascript as relatively common. You're likely to encounter people doing "fringe" stuff like transpiling Go or Rust into Wasm, but tho

That still means your /48 identifies you with much higher precision than a cgnat-ed ipv4 address ever could.

Its hard to get the full picture of Mullenweg's behaviour in a summary, but I guess the TL;RD from my point of view goes something like: Matt decides WPEngine are making "too much money" and "not contributing enough&quot

This brand new drama (well, August/Sept vintage drama) reveals a _lot_ about Mullenweg. I, for one, am happy to specifically call him awful.

Fairly valid speculation, I my opinion. If I were in the US, and particularly in one of the seriously intolerant red states, there's no way I'd want and of my details in their database. I don't think it's catastrophising

Just as a counter point, private equity seems to have helped WPEngine become so successful that Mullenweg has totally lost his mind over it.

So "parked" rather than "hidden" then. I also suspect Ulbricht quite likely has keys for wallets the FBI didn't find out about (and it's corrupt agents didn't steal).

by bigiain 2y ago
I suspect there'll be a lot of people very carefully watching for transactions from wallets with some sort of links to Silk Road that have been dormant for 12 years or so.

Also, a lot of homelab people are experimenting and gaining experience with stuff they run in production or at work. Those people are extremely likely to be using ACME in the wild. Running it in your homelab makes a lot of sense to me.

I have for some time considered some of his decision making and community leadership skills a bit suspect. But like you, I am impressed by this move. I wonder if he's been watching Mullenweg and WordPress's recent drama?
