Ipv4 is not even ipv4 compatible. You use nat to translate one type of ipv4 into another to talk on the internet. Ipv6 is using nat in the same way.
The problem is that ipv4 is not forward compatible ( naturally ). So ipv6 can talk to both, ipv4 only to ipv4.

Terribly sorry. This is probably my norwegian shining thru. Where concatination of words are very common.

I do not know the in’s and out of ircv3. But we use matrix/elements for videocalls. Groupcalls. Screen and videosharing etc as well; Not just text chats. Beeing able to quickly search all of your chat history across all your channels and dm’s are very nice. Not requiering a irc bouncer to recieve messages is essential.
Atleast for us having another vm among the thousands we host in our dc is not a huge cost, but i understand that is not the same for everyone.

Thank you for a detailed answer. We probably do not notice much of this problem yet, since we are in the low user count of 30-40 with mostly local channels.

I have never tried that. We use it to share powerpoints in meetings or do troubleshooting together. Or I use it to do family video calls with the kids. Fps are never an issue. There are times where there are compression artifacts tho. Especially if someone have a bad or variable connection. On a buss or a train or similar.

In what way are matrix expencive? You do not have to self host it. You can just make an account on any public matrix server.

I do not know what you talk about. I use screen sharing and voice chat daily on elements with our own hosted matrix server.

Edit: i felt wrong saying “voice chat” what even is that. I make regular calls and video calls with screen sharing in elements ;)

Matrix+elements is very easy to selfhost in any homelab. works well enough for goverments. Federated and easy end to end encryption. And one can easily set up a web archive bridge forvarchiveable rooms.

That beeing said i still think IRC is the best for pure text chat.

While there are no perfect way. It would be much less of a problem then it is now. And easier for watchdog orgs to pay attention to and call out.

As well as the whole firefly series. Watches them all annually.

They are not rapidly moving… no wonder you miss them

I install molly-guard on important machines for this reason. So fast to do a reboot on the wrong ssh session

Everybody knew exactly what kilo mega and giga ment. when drive vendors deliberatly lied on there pdf’s about their drive sizes. Warnings were issued: this drive will not work in a raid as a replacement for same size!!. And everybody was throwing fumes on mailinglists about the bullshit situation.

But money won, as usual.

Source: threw fumes!

I am always impressed by how randall can show a lot of detail in very VERY simple shapes. Eg the head rotation in this case.
