Continental Grade NAT: The Final IPv4 Boss Battle

Continental Grade NAT: The Final IPv4 Boss Battle
The networking equivalent of "We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas." Instead of adopting IPv6 with its 340 undecillion addresses, let's just cram 200 million people behind one IPv4 address and call it "Continental Grade NAT." That rat's nest of cables is probably the debugging interface. $10M per year to maintain this monstrosity when we could just... use IPv6. But sure, let's keep the IPv4 zombie shuffling along until 2030. Network engineers everywhere just died a little inside.

We Don't Talk About IPv5

We Don't Talk About IPv5
The great IPv6 conspiracy finally exposed! After decades of network engineers forcing us to memorize hexadecimal nightmares like 2001:500:2f::f , someone's finally calling out this madness. Remember when IP addresses were just four simple numbers? Then these networking folks decided "let's add letters and colons because clearly that's more user-friendly!" Meanwhile, NAT was sitting there the whole time, perfectly capable of solving our address shortage without making us type hieroglyphics. The diagrams at the bottom really sell it - complex network schematics that might as well be ancient runes to most of us. Twenty years of "IPv6 is the future" and we're all still running IPv4 with NAT because, surprise, it actually works. And yes, there's no IPv5. It was experimental, never deployed, and now exists only in networking folklore - like documentation that's actually helpful.

It's 2025: Microsoft's Terrifying GitHub Request

It's 2025: Microsoft's Terrifying GitHub Request
The year is 2025. Microsoft has fully absorbed GitHub, and the dystopian nightmare begins. GitHub users cower in fear as Microsoft whispers "Come closer..." only to drop the bombshell: "I NEED YOU TO ADD IPV6 SUPPORT TO GITHUB." It's the ultimate plot twist! After all the fears of Microsoft injecting telemetry, ads, or subscription tiers into GitHub, they're just desperately trying to drag their acquisition into modern networking standards. Still running on legacy IPv4 in 2025? That's the real horror story! The internet ran out of IPv4 addresses years ago, but GitHub's still clinging to them like SpongeBob to his spatula.

The Mythical Version 3 Utopia

The Mythical Version 3 Utopia
Ah, the mythical "3" in software โ€“ where dreams go to die. Just like gamers waiting for Half-Life 3 or Battlefront 3, programmers know the pain of Python 3 migration hell, IPv6 adoption (because we skipped IPv5), and that one legacy codebase that will never reach version 3.0. The utopian future shown here is basically what happens when a developer finally fixes that one bug that's been in the backlog for 7 years. Pure fantasy. Meanwhile, we're all still using workarounds from Stack Overflow posts from 2011.

Really Why Is There Something Like It

Really Why Is There Something Like It
The great IPv5 mystery strikes again! That awkward moment when the entire internet collectively decided to jump from IPv4 straight to IPv6, and now we're all just pretending to know why! ๐Ÿ˜… Truth is, IPv5 was actually an experimental protocol from the 80s called Internet Stream Protocol that never made it to production. But honestly, it's way more fun to nod along in meetings when someone mentions "the IPv5 situation" than admit you have absolutely no clue. Classic networking humor - where admitting ignorance is scarier than configuring a router with your eyes closed!
