Remember kids, this is why you still need money. This is literally how the Soviet Union collapsed and why China today became a state capitalist.

Thats because of how you set it up. If you want individual IP addresses for all your resources, you can get a huge chunk of IPv6 addresses just for yourself. You can get a /48 (65,536) addresses if you set it up with your ISP.

Yeah totally, it's just wrong to say it's not the majority of them.

I don’t want to have to pay a registrar, I would like to submit my domains to registers directly. There is a business layer of middle-men who do not need to exist.
You're in luck! You can do this! You can become your own registrar. Cut out the middle man! You only have to pay $4000/year to talk directly to ICANN.

Well then you just take whatever you get, it's website roulette.

Well, Postel has been dead since 1998 and Mills since 2010, so I don't think they're included in people still in control. So they've got that going for them, which is nice, I guess.

Architects of the internet, they said.
If they said the people currently in charge of the internet are an uneasy alliance of shadowy goons and idiots, afraid to openly break anything too irrevocably but occasionally trying to yank on the wires to see if there isn't some way a little more money inside them somewhere, I would generally agree.

So the tankie idiots join the bigger pool of non-tankie idiots. How will we ever survive…

Did you know we have these things called computer files that can store information. There's even one in your router specifically for storing IP addresses

Blaming capitalism for domain names being a nightmare is hilarious, they are insanely cheap its 12$ a year for a .com, that is all, lol.

You don't actually "buy" domain names. You basically rent them from a registrar. "expired" meant someone forgot to pay rent / renew the lease so control of the name goes back to the registrar. They can just delete it after some grace period but domain names that has traffic going to them has value so they are usually put up for auction, which is what you see here.
