Giving a /48 is spec, but a lot of ISPs are too stingy :/

Going to other planets would require a total re-architecting of our communications infrastructure anyway. There's such distance too it's not really viable to have a shared internet. Even Mars would have up to 22 minute latency at peak. So I don't think it makes sense to plan our current internet around potential future space colonization.
Even so, IPv6 is truly massive. We could give a /64 to every square centimeter of the Earth's surface and still have IPs to spare. Frankly, I think the protocol itself will be obsolete before we run out.
"You wouldn't download a car" is a meme edit that got stuck in everyone's heads. The original PSA actually does say "you wouldn't steal a car" and basically was what you describe in your last paragraph.
All of your temporary privacy addresses will be coming out of the same subnet, so it's clear they all belong to the same people.
Ultimately the privacy extensions are just bringing IPv6's privacy back in line with IPv4, because without the privacy extensions every single device has a separate IPv6 address based on its MAC address whereas in IPv4 most consumer networks have every device sharing a single IP.
What does "woke" mean? What makes modern Trek woke but old Trek not?
I think the utility of blocking people on a public platform is kind of fake anyway. If someone is harassing you, and you block them, it's obvious that you did it so they'll just log out and suddenly they can see your posts again. Accounts are trivial to make on the fediverse too so they can always just spin up a new one to harass you.
I think silent filtering is better for that reason because they can't tell that you did it so they won't just immediately switch to a new account and keep going.
Active blocking like you're talking about only makes sense if there's such a thing as "follower-only" posts imo. Otherwise it's a false sense of security because they can see everything anyway just by logging out or switching to another account.
The free version of ChatGPT is 4o or 4.1-mini at this point. You can't even access 3.5 without paying, ironically, since it's legacy now.
Ever heard of Bitmoji? Or Apple's Genmoji thing? People do create stickers of themselves doing gestures or facial expressions, it's fairly popular... And most of Instagram is people posting thirst traps and selfies. Not sure why you're singling out furries here...
In IPv6, a /64 is only supposed to be used for a single subnet. If you have a subnet smaller than /64, things will break. SLAAC needs a /64, which means Android phones for example can't use IPv6 on a subnet smaller than /64.
/64 might seem huge but that's just how IPv6 works. The entire 64-bit host ID is used for encoding MAC addresses into the IP address, or creating randomized privacy addresses. It needs to be huge so that it can do that statelessly.
Be that as it may, the Plex official guide for setting up "remote streaming" walks you through port forwarding. That implies that when they say remote streaming, they mean port forwarding by default. I then had to go digging to find mention of the Relay service which seems to be a fallback. (Apparently it isn't even supported by all clients)
Surely if they meant they'd start charging for Relays they'd mention that explicitly, and not use the term "remote streaming"?
I really doubt it. We could give everyone on Earth their own /48 with less than 1% of the IPv6 address space.
