If you're not able to come up with a business plan that involves open sourcing your software, that's fine! Building a business off the open source model and community good-will before realising it doesn't work is either incom

I mean, they allow you to create a manifest that then auto provisions some infrastructure, so... Shrug I'm being half-serious. Of course the point is that "competing" is deliberately very poorly defined, and it's entir

You can't have it both ways. You either believe in, and enthusiastically participate in the development of free software (the philosophy of which requires freedoms to be available on an equitable basis), or you don't.

For me, bait-and-switching their code contributors is almost the textbook definition of "abusing the goodwill of the open source community".

What are you load testing and hooking up to a public DNS resolver? Would a local caching resolver not be much more suitable?

I didn't say IPv4 :p You're right, if you've got a legacy internet requirement then that adds another grand a year to your costs. But I disagree that it's "quite expensive for an indie project", especially one

Things that break when you do "just a simple expansion" of the address length because they assume a 32 bit address: * ARP (goodbye all your switches) * DHCP (goodbye all your CPE routers) * DNS (A records don't work any more)

This is a similar complaint to "I can't run a server from home because my ISP wont give me a static IP". Sure, it's a problem, but not one with the protocol .

It's impossible to implement a backwards-compatible successor to IP without breaking the principle that every node can address other node. Old nodes will have no idea how to address "new" ones, and if you want actual communic

Why are we desparate to jam X509 into every hole, regardless of whether or not it's a good idea? mTLS for most cases is not a good idea. For the masses, it's certainly not a good idea.
