Believe it or not, you might have very specific interests :)

If a 13 year old was using irc regularly in 2022 I would be concerned for them. Not thata 13 year old shouldn't use irc but I would wonder how they found that destination, especially given the countless other sinks for internet denizens

Free software development and chat still largely happens over IRC: witness irc.gnome.org and libera chat.

As a 13 year old, if I had access to internet instead of buying Slackware floppies from local software "pirates" (they also had all the DOS stuff like Wordperfect and games), I'd probably be hanging around IRC.

I don't think there was much to be concerned about me back then.

It’s because practical experience with technologies like BGP is difficult to acquire without sufficient capital to run a network. You can of course purchase a /24 and dabble (search HN for blog posts describing exactly that). And you can experiment with large deployments in simulators. But network optimization is inherently more of a practical pursuit than a theoretical one, so most broad and consistent learning oppo…

Fun Fact ; I'm not sure if it was RIP or BGP, but a certain Cisco Founder stated that they wouldnt have come up with the routing protocol if it weren't for Hoffman and LSD.

I really have no idea what any of those acronyms mean.

Here's what it looks like: $ traceroute cv6.poinsignon.org traceroute to cv6.poinsignon.org (2001:bc8:3eff:c0::ff), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets 1 gateway 0.795 ms 0.789 ms [...] 8 hello (2001:bc8:3eff:c0::1) 1.431 ms 1.202 ms 9 My.name.is.Louis.Poinsignon (2001:bc8:3eff:c0::2) 1.649 ms 1.274 ms 10 I.am.a.network.and.systems.Engineer (2001:bc8:3eff:c0::3) 1.695 ms 2.090 ms 11 This.is.my.resume.over.traceroute (2001:b…

I think that many HRs would be suspicious about somebody who worked at each job for 2.261 ms.

It is not length of experience that counts, but skill. Some people with 100ms experience have just done the same millisecond over and over.

Are they still using that hand-wavy "cryptographic proof that a duration of time has passed"?

Do you mean Proof of History? The concept is made concrete in Solana, but actually any blockchain that hashes a set of transactions in each of its successive slots/blocks can be used to prove that time has passed. You can verifiably be assured of a temporal ordering between transactions that were hashed in different slots because the output of a slot/block is hashed and used as an input for the next block/slot.

Solana claims to prove that a certain duration of time has passed, which is a different and much stronger claim than just temporal ordering. The details of their claims, last I heard (which was some talks in Berlin years ago) were extremely hand-wavy and apparently not well understood even by some people working on the project.

I wonder if these things ever pay off, or if it just ends up attracting a lot of opportunities to be part of a normal application system where it's a one-way system of proving your worth to the company?

Well, at least it reached HN first page where a lot of hacker in heart managers and C*Os circle around, the potential employers.

Oh noes you just doxxed their email address on the https

It's probably more accurate to "Oh noes this HN post is going to get this guy a few dozen really lucrative job offers". Doxxing usually implies ill intent but having your personal information broadcast to HN is likely only to result in a few of the hiring managers that haunt here sending a cold offer.

I don't think writing obfuscated email address as plaintext is doxxing, but it may be collected spam bot.

Great, but not Bad Horse great. https://www.a2wd.com/traceroute-bad-horse/

No wonder we're running out of IPv4 addresses.

I wonder whether you could do this with a lower number of IPs, just repeating them in the traceroute reply. You might not be able to build a real network like that, but if you're manually replying to ICMP with a raw socket, this should be possible, I doubt the client tries to de-duplicate based on addresses.
