Sometimes I wonder if "fox" is my only personality trait. Then I remember that fox describes a whole slew of personality traits, and many of them are mischievous. Also snacks.

It's a bit troublesome to see so many people saying that HTTP/3 works around enough problems that we don't need to go to #ipv6.

Remember all the innovations that got us here? So many of those happened because someone was able to stand up a prototype on their home/office machine with a public IP. If everybody's behind a NAT, you won't be able to do that. You'll have to pay whoever has the public IPs (cloud!) to do it, and they'll likely charge a premium the more scarce they become.

I'll be real in that I find this particularly important to talk about some in the trans community because
1) our spaces can be few and isolation can be life threatening
2) a fair number of us have changed *intensely* in the course of figuring our genders and selves out

Really quick:
I know a lot of people, myself included, who have done some things in things in the past that range from "poorly thought out" to "directly terrible and shitty."

We have to leave room for people to be better. *you* don't have to be around them or trust them again, but we have to leave room for people to improve if we want improvement to be an actual option.
