This could actually be a pretty big deal
Finally :D thank you so much!
So basically VOIP is “cheating” because its not actually handled by the network directly, the phone company pays for always-online servers, and phone(s) reach out to those server every time they change networks, in order for servers to be able to route calls to them.
Which also means! it is possible to do the same thing for computers, but it requires having
Which also explains why general network providers wouldn’t want to create the infrastructure. Even if universal addresses were given to each device, which simplifies DHCP and address-leasing, and shortens time it takes to handshake with the network, all of that is less of a cost than the infrastructure needed track of devices as they change networks. (And that’s on top of ISP’s being slow to change from the legacy approach of local networks and desktops).
^ which is more the conversation I wanted to have but didnt really get with this post.
Thats a sizable edit!
Yeah 😅 I didnt want it to be this complicated of a question, but I didnt see how else to explain that current addressing systems don’t meet the same need as a phone number.
I can get VOIP calls behind a NAT without cell service. I’m asking how is that possible. Is the router somehow part of the same AP as cell service?
Cell phones don’t get a new phone number every time they switch cell towers, so why do laptops.
Its not like I can write down the IP address of my friends laptop so I can send it a message once he gets to a new city. Right?
I’m shocked this answer has so many upvotes. No, a MAC address is not close to a phone number. No two people have the same phone number, and I can’t just edit my phone number to be someone else’s number.
He got convinced, its now Auxolotl!
Theres going to be an official reevaluation once the governance has finished bootstrapping.
I read it as “a pin nix” like appendix with a lisp
Agreed, I made a thread for it. You’ve got some good names!
You should learn the nix lang, flakes, zero to nix, etc and try not to get bogged down in the Nix/Aux stuff. Be prepared to wait for things to settle down on that side.
Sadly no AFAIK, even ignoring the licensing issues.
I’ve been on a team where two co-chair leads bickered and eventually split. I was a member in both of the new teams (two projects) and both turned out great for different reasons.
I plan to do the same with Nix and Aux even if everyone else picks sides. And I’m glad the link was posted here.
Agreed, it must take after its parent haha
“Select where you heard about typst”
-> Fediverse
Finally somewhere that actually has Fediverse as an option, this must be a good app.
Just commenting here to ping you that I found a new major alternative! I’ve edited the comment but TLDR; search “.NET Avalonia” and see what you think
Absolutely, I didn’t mean my comment as excuse or justification. I personally don’t want any sponsored people on the board. Defense contractor or otherwise.
I’m still trying to disentangle the “stirring up drama” part though.
I don’t know what AstroTurf means. Jon might be in the wrong, and I’ll edit my comment to put bad stuff at the top once I’m caught up. I’m just giving the info I have. If you have some let me know.
If AstroTurf means a bot, check my history here and on Github (jeff-hykin)
Edit: turns out this story goes way beyond Jon, all of Nix is in flux right now. My personal experience is kind of irrelevant.

Original Post:
As a first-hand account; Jon has been the nicest of all the maintainers I’ve had interactions with ( ~7), probably followed by Ryan Mulligan. The only reason I remember Jon’s name (I usually just recognize maintainers by their profile pictures) is because a couple years ago, as part of this thread I was reading this github issue with a really rude/attacking user. I remember reading Jon’s response and thinking “This is one of the most patient FOSS devs on all of Github”.
However, take ^that as-is, because I am not up to date on anything recent. I just wanted to provide the small bit of insight I do have.
Here’s some of my interactions for those who like to judge for themselves:
I mean, manual approval technically does work. I kinda wanted something that would scale.
While I’m really glad to hear about it, I think it would work great for DDOS detection, I don’t know that it works for preventing spam accounts. I’m pretty sure puppeteer with GPT4 could check that box no problem.
I don’t see anywhere in his comment(s) where he says something postive about privacy guides.
