This article (cited on Slashdot) suggests that the policy decision by Amazon Web Services to charge for IPv4 addresses could accelerate migration to IPv6.
My ISPs (both cable and mobile) support IPv6, as does my server's hosting provider, so I personally made the switch to a dual-stack configuration quite some time ago. Those who haven't (and who use AWS) now have an additional financial incentive.

Brace yourself, IPv6 is coming
On February 1st 2024, AWS will start charging for IPv4 addresses. This is a big deal for the internet, and we're here to help you prepare.Supabase
This article introduces the new L4S standard (RFC 9331) for addressing Internet congestion issues, specifically, buffers on networking devices. It appears to be a congestion notification mehcanism. Presumably it is superior to the queuing algorithms implemented on routers. My OpenWRT router, for example, offers a choice of queuing algorithm.

New L4S standard is poised to speed up your internet and reduce latency
This new standard will boost your internet throughput, no matter what speed you get.Steven Vaughan-Nichols (ZDNET)
I wrote a bot that parses the current #Mastodon instances and assigns them to the respective #ASN (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASN).
Interesting is the concentration on a few top ASN. Here for example the 10 most frequent ASNs as Pie Chart (as of 11/25/2022).
❤️ Thanks to @TheKinrar for the nice API for receiving the current mastodon instances.

Linux really needs to remove the “privileged ports” security theater bullshit.
We’re no longer living in the mainframe era. The security properties of the Internet are different to mainframes. This is actually an anti-feature that either complicates life or actually compromises security (when folks run servers as root and forget to drop privileges , etc.).
If anyone has any sway within the kernel team, etc., please do your thing.
