set up the internet at my new place today, and for some stupid reason the idiots didn’t give me any v6 addresses? v6 has existed for 30 years now and we ran out of v4 addresses like 10 years ago? I knew v6 adoption is horrible but like, how the fuck are people supposed to switch if isps won’t give you any v6 addresses? and why does a 10gbps fiber plan not have that when we have like 286278362 bajillion addresses total so it would be basically free for them, much much cheaper at least than the non cgnat v4 address they gave me

and fyi the isp is galaxus, with them using sunrise infra in the background in my case. and I know about init7 but I don’t wanna pay 30chf extra for the same thing (in theory faster max real world speeds since it’s a dedicated line instead of shared but eh, nothing gives you 10gbps yet anyway) but with v6 support and I also have to pay for the router myself

(💜 Marielle) After talking with a mutual, I remembered a concept my system thought about that I want to test: how much influence you have is not directly tied to how many followers you have.

our reasoning is that even with a few (less than 500) followers, you can still have a lot of influince with how many unique followers your followers have (personal annecdote: this concept is why my system is well-known around fedi).

If anyone wants to help test this with me, please boost only once

you don’t have to boost if you don’t want to, though

if the test works as planned, a large boost count should mean the concept holds true.

Thank you in advance for those who help with this!

thunderstorms are fun to watch

for some reason I couldn’t hear any thunder
