Also adding 255.0/8 and 255/4 which is essentially just... IPV6. So we're finally going ipv6, I guess!

Alternatively, money is grifted for political patronage.
Are you saying that the most corrupt US president ever (an individual so mentally challenged that managed to bankrupt FOUR casinos, the only money making machines where the customers literally throw money at you) grifted billion of dollars from the most valuable IP4 addresses in the world?
These IP addresses will be used in a manner related to China and their interference in our election resulting in the improper installation of Sloppy Joe in the Whitehouse. You're welcome.

#243Still seems a bit odd to me. It doesn't explain why "GLOBAL RESOURCE SYSTEMS, LLC" is involved. Poking around, the individuals associated with that aren't government employees. The company was formed 9/8/2020 in Delaware.
Who are the people associated with that company? I’d like to further investigate them.

There has been a brief period in my life when I did not have the clearance to read code I was writing.
I feel like there's a joke about Perl hiding somewhere in there.

Some of those less-cluefull operators include Juniper and Azure[1], Cisco[2][3], and probably many other companies. When Cloudflare put its 1.1.1.1 DNS server into use, it started receiving huge amounts of packets destined to unroutable addresses because the 1.0.0.0/8 space was (mostly?) unused. If you configure your routers correctly, none of these IP addresses should resolve, anyway. If something in your network is…
What IPs does the DoD actually host defense-related services on? E.g. https://www.defense.gov/Resources/Military-Departments/A-Z-L...

The HE link doesnt mean they are signed. It just means the IRR records are correct. You would see a green key on the prefixes if they were signed (and correct) The prefixes are in the https://www.radb.net Somebody (as everybody can do this with radb) said to RADB that 8003 is the correct origin for these prefixes. Considering the DoD hasnt rained hell on the RADB, Id guess theyre good as well, but its not RPKI signed…
Ah, my bad. I looked around and now know what RPKI signed actually looks like on HE. https://bgp.he.net/ip/1.1.1.1
Much better to see what the situation is for IRR/RPKI for a prefix/AS:
Cloudflare: http://irrexplorer.nlnog.net/search/1.1.1.0/24
One of the prefixes this thread is about: http://irrexplorer.nlnog.net/search/7.0.0.0/24

Thanks a lot, Appreciate. It is not I don't want to pay the washingtonpost.com. I just don't have time to read them.

I'm partial to Reedy because it tends to fall "safe" and include more content rather than less, but other similar apps should work just as well (SmartNews has a similar function, as do Article Reader Offline, wallabag, and Webreader; I find Reedy has the best UI/feature set for my use).

If you're on Android using an app like Materialistic to browser HN, like I am, use a reader-mode-only app like Reedy to open your articles; since it only parses html and doesn't run scripts, it will work on every site that sends the whole article and not just a snippet.
