@esoteric_programmer only people who don’t know what they’re talking about and/or haven’t read it take it seriously. random crackpots have been proposing IPv6 replacements for years and they will never be accepted because they are nonsensical (IPv10, IPv4+, another IPv8 that I can’t find an actual draft for and appears to have been hallucinated by some guy in the 1990s (search for “ipv8 jim fleming”))

it was quite possibly intended by the author as a serious proposal, but it has no chance whatsover of being accepted as one, not least because it doesn’t make any sense and contains hallucinated references to other internet drafts (like “wifi8”) that don’t exist

@ariadne @thomholwerda I switched away from SDDM because of this bug and haven't switched back yet, but since https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/100373 SDDM should just use tty7. I don't think it's in a stable release yet though.

there are some younger nutrias again! So cute!! They are a bit more shy than the older ones, but generally aren’t to scared of humans

@kemona_halftau good morning!

i wrote an internet standard https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-meow-mrrp-00.html (it's published on ietf.org so you know it's real and official and endorsed by the ietf)

Meow meow MEOW mrrp meow nya mreow

@cwebber @joy70 I think I asked you for the black bean burger recipe in 2020 (or maybe that was something else) but I forgot and octodon is dead, so could you please share it again?

British online friend: "Saw a flying banana tonight. I only noticed because of the purple light shining upwards"

Everyone: ???

"We have track measurement trains. They run around, checking the tracks for faults, the power cables, etc

They're bright yellow. So they're nicknamed the Flying Banana, as a joke on the Flying Scotsman

Night time they have this blue laser that scans the overhead wires. It creates this giant glow you can see when it moves"

@mitsunee @ReignOfRaining it's not an entirely different meaning, it's more of a subset of the original meaning. internet memes are also memes in the original sense

@kemona_halftau meow!

I can't believe anyone is taking IPv8 seriously

@maddy I'm surprised it managed to get this amount of attention on fedi

@maddy Anyone who actually takes IPv8 seriously is just clueless (as are the people actually making these proposals). People have been publishing nonsensical Internet-Drafts claiming to provide an IPv4-compatible IPv6 replacement (that’s actually not IPv4-compatible at all) for years (see also: IPv10 (since 2016) and IPv4+ (since 2018)), it’s nothing new and none of them will never get adopted because they don’t make any sense.

@hazel @ncopa It’s not even an RFC. Literally anyone can publish an Internet-Draft. See also: IPv10, IPv4+

@cwebber what exactly did they block? the official relay? just the bsky.app frontend?

@dee @strongsand hopefully when they run their own registry they can reduce the prices

@whitequark @artemis for being stuck on qt5 and accepting AI-generated code:

# A Qt6-based snapshot is provided for testing without keywords, currently as
# app-admin/keepassxc-2.8.0_pre260316-r1, but it is unclear when keywords will
# be restored let alone stabilised.
# Alternatives are app-admin/keepass, app-admin/pass which can import kbdx
