I would suspect the whole site's a joke given that the password reset link is both 404 and seems to be a meme https://goonhost.rocks/auth/dementia (their /tos link is the same)

I like it. I think I might go buy hosting from them.

I think no one in their right mind would implement this without AI.

Yeah, this isn't great: > [goy privacy policy](

> But instead of just arguing on mailing lists, the team at goonhost.rocks decided to actually build the entire specification When someone writes a specification of the exact opposite of free distributed network, maybe a good idea is to argue on the mailing list instead. It would be bad for us if it got actually rolled out, so maybe let's not make…

> The Hook: Why We Built This It's crazy how much this title alone can make me not want to read on because I'm expecting a 100% slop-written post by now.

Thanks for going through the work of testing this. Better to have the actual results for a joke than to joke about theories :)

RIRs (RIPE NCC, ARIN, APNIC, etc.) are non-profit membership organizations, not commercial entities trying to "monetize" IP addresses.Their registration fees directly fund critical global Internet infrastructure: the WHOIS databases, RPKI trust anchors, root DNS servers, and policy governance. If their operational budget collapses by 90%, it's not…

If a system works, and meaningfully improves over…

Question for someone who knows more about this stuff than I do: Why don't the problems in the "economic collapse" section also apply to IPv6? Or do they, and we've only been saved by lack of adoption?

I appreciate this. IPv8 is a terrible, terrible idea, and it’s good to see someone actually built it out to prove the depths of its terribleness. Well done.

Thanks for testing, in year 2026, still IPv6 is not fully well utilized homes, corporates especially it is worse at clouds (AWS, GCP) if you not limit north to south, they are not good for east-to-west compared to telco providers. For example, GCP uses IP forwarding for IPv6 real IP address is not allocated at machine. At some of the components…
