The absolute insanity of the multiple hallucinated additional RFCs WHICH ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND but cited as "critical dependencies"
And now all the people going "ohhh the IETF has published IPv8", my brother in Christ, this is a DRAFT not representing ANY consensus
I'm slowly going insane over this :neocat_googly_shocked:
There are already vibe-coded implementations, you have to be kidding me
NOOOOOO, I've been boosted another post about this and FEDI, THIS IS A DRAFT STANDARD, NOT ENDORSED AND WITHOUT OFFICIAL STANDING!!! AAAAAaaaaaaaaa
ANOTHER ONE?????
The answer to "people submit dump spam" is not to submit more spam :neocat_googly_shocked:
@famfo this draft does feel like psyop. what do they want to distract us from?!
@famfo but it's on ietf dot org, it must be endorsed!!!1!
@famfo but surely Google wouldn’t lie to me :ablobcatnod:
@Euph0r14 oh my fucking god it verbatim copied half the abstract
@famfo what a perfect snapshot of the state of the internet in The Year Of Our Lord™ 2026
@famfo@frogs.lgbt IETF is not doing a good job at all at making it look unofficial.
@kbruen there's a big banner :neocat_googly_shocked:
@microplastic @kbruen I guess you usually don't go to the archive if you are searching for stuff, especially because it has no additional information like version history etc.
@microplastic @famfo @kbruen also ridiculous that any page for viewing a "request" for "comments" would not prominently display any of the damn comments!
@famfo Expiring in October this year already though?
IPv10 must be on its way as a successor.
@famfo "this is some slopster thinking he's a genius" is so much worse than a legit april fools joke ugh
@valpackett @famfo back in my day, false genuises had to be committed enough to write their nonsense by hand!!
@famfo kill me
@famfo WE THE WORST PROTOCOLS
ANOTHA ONE
@famfo i am also going insane over this, and the mailing list is joining me.
@famfo you and me both…
@famfo To me it seems like the insanity around this is taking hold quite fast! So only slowly getting insane is a good thing?
@famfo ok yeah I thought it might be AI generated
@LilaHexe there's no way it isn't
@famfo I only had a glance at it, because even the premise is just fucked
@famfo gonna submit IPv67
@famfo@frogs.lgbt @LilaHexe@fedi.lilahexe.top IPv68+-1, as geheimorga intended
@famfo@frogs.lgbt @LilaHexe@fedi.lilahexe.top Yeah I had to stop after 5 lines out of self protection
@patterfloof @LilaHexe @famfo Yeah my first thought was "...what. This has to be a joke. This cannot possibly be serious."
@IceWolf @patterfloof @LilaHexe April fools RFCs are at least funny to read, this is just painful and ignoring all lessons that could be learned from BOTH IPv4 and v6
@famfo @patterfloof @LilaHexe And like, OAuth?? Telemetry??? WTF
@famfo Beautiful :akko_confused:
@famfo honestly my favourite part
