Hey, I need to replace my roof. Has anyone had good experience with a roofer lately?

Feel like getting out of the house? Want to meet some new people? You know that place you’ve seen recently and been wanting to check out? For all those reasons and more, we made the Oakland Thursday Meetup. (Est.2014)

Every Thursday you can find us at a different bar in Oakland sharing a few drinks and some laughs. We’ve got a mix of people, locals and transplants. The weird and the wise. Homegirls and tech bros. Most people are there to talk over a few drinks.

Usually there’s about 10 of us, but occasionally up to 20.

It’s a great way to try some new places and get to know some folks you might otherwise miss. Drop in, drop out, no pressure and definitely no problems.

From 7:30pm to around 10pm you can find us at…

You’re advocating a:

( ) technical ( ) legislative ( ) market-based ( ) denial-based

approach to retaining IPv4. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won’t work:
( ) We’re already out of IPv4 addresses
( ) People in Africa also deserve to own IP space too
( ) ISPs in rural and underdeveloped areas need IP space now
( ) Route fragmentation is getting worse
( ) Class E space is permanently blocked in many systems
( ) It will give us more addresses for 2 years and then we’ll be stuck with it
( ) NAT makes security worse, not better
( ) Android will not put up with it
( ) Linus Torvalds will not put up with it
( ) Requires too much cooperation from ISPs
( ) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once
( ) Many users cannot afford to lose business or alienate potential employers
( ) It makes geolocation even worse than it already is
( ) You are re-inventing 464XLAT but worse

Specifically, your plan fails to account for:
( ) You can’t send packets to existing hosts
( ) Existing hosts can’t send packets to new hosts
( ) Kubernetes clusters already easily burn through the entire 1918 space
( ) The 10.x.x.x/8 space is already an overlapping nightmare
( ) Upgrading all routers on the planet, again
( ) Upgrading all firewalls on the planet, again
( ) Adding bytes to IPv4 is the entire problem
( ) Parsing IPv6 addresses isn’t the hard part
( ) AWS won’t support it
( ) ISPs won’t support it
( ) Having to upgrade all software to support it
( ) Needing to create a new DNS type
( ) Legacy operating systems
( ) Extreme profitability of leasing IP space
( ) Smart TVs
( ) Lazy system administrators
( ) Customer premises equipment

and the following philosophical objections may also apply:
( ) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever been shown practical
( ) You haven’t laid out a transition plan
( ) TCP/IP should not be the subject of legislation
( ) CGNAT sucks
( ) Split internet sucks
( ) End to end connectivity is a net good
( ) IP addresses do not identify a person
( ) IP addresses should be free
( ) Globally addressable does not mean globally accessible
( ) Rollout plans must work if phased in gradually
( ) Why should we have to trust you and your servers?
( ) Not everything that touches the internet is a computer anymore
( ) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem
( ) Even the staunchest defender of IPv4 will die eventually

Furthermore, this is what I think about you:
( ) Sorry dude, but I don’t think it would work.
( ) This is a stupid idea, and you’re a stupid person for suggesting it.
( ) You own a /16 and want to get top dollar for it
( ) You wrote this instead of enabling IPv6
