• You do NOT need a Proxmox or a Ceph cluster to run Proxmox. I happily ran a single node with 5 or 6 VM's, and only recently added a second node. – Still only use CIFS shares.

• IPv4 is unlimited only if you have unlimited expensive CGNAT routers . If you are a new ISP in a developing country IPv4 is much more overloaded and slow compared to IPv6 because the fewer IPv4 addresses make a narrower choke point. IPv4 with CGNAT make it hard to self host and not rely on cloud computing providers. If the free internet is dead and all we need is 5 big websites we don't need IPv6.

• 400,000 years ago, in the future. We are still trying to transition to ipv6.
  Personally I will just wait for ipv10 before I move over.
  Meanwhile Cogent still sitting on a whole A block, because reasons.
  Also, 0 and 255 are not at all unusable. It's just the start and end of a subnet, but those do not have to start and end at 0 and 255, and for any subnets larger than a /24 there are usable 0's and 255's in the middle.
  Furthermore wildcard subnets were a thing at inception and still have some level of support. It's why we type out the 255.255.254.0 or whatever instead of just saying /23, because systems still support it to some extent even though it's not really used. For instance a subnet of 254.255.255.0 would have your computer trying to talk to a bunch of other computers on different A blocks if they also matched your c block. And a subnet of 255.255.255.1 would divide your subnet into even and odd addresses.

  BRB going to chop your entire ip space into /31's

• 😂 There's a young lady needing your attention. I and all the other visitors are not as important. Please chase ladybugs.

• Arduino? Just asking.

• 🤦
