Bard spotting on Bluesky 29 July 2024

hey @asukafield.xyz, this might be a helpful tip from a dear friend

Katie Tightkitty (@juicysteak117.gay):

labelers can't IP ban lol all they can do is label. heck i doubt bluesky even IP bans because dynamic IPs are a thing

Molligru 🏳️⚧️🦄 (@blahpers.bsky.social):

IP bans as a thing are . . . well they're not entirely a relic of the past, but they are heavily overrated in the modern day of portable mobile IP-capable devices. They're closer to "annoying" than "final word hammer of Thor colony drop"

Any persistent bad actor would trivially get around one!

Katie Tightkitty (@juicysteak117.gay):

vpns exist after all

children of the corncob (@bisk.sureis.sexy):

there are technically two 5s (obsolete), and two 6s (one adopted).

there are also three 9s and one of them was an april fools joke.

hammancheez (@hammancheez.bsky.social):

this stuff goes through like 20 years of iterations lol, it can get quite gnarly

children of the corncob (@bisk.sureis.sexy):

yeah, the current ipv6 standard i think was defined in an RFC in the mid 00s but had been worked on for many years before being adopted in ~2014.

children of the corncob (@bisk.sureis.sexy):

on the note of IP bans, if your ISP provides you with an IPv6 internet address the chances are you don't just have one address you have a block.

if you talk to your ISP they might tell you what your block is and you could potentially have access to tens of thousands of internet facing addresses.

Robert Szasz 𓅆 (@rszasz.bsky.social):

Uh, yes, many many tens of thousands

Robert Szasz 𓅆 (@rszasz.bsky.social):

(usually 64bits of 'local' address)

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Ooh that'd be like … half the UUID address space, then
