is a /56 not enough address space for your home network

My home network is millions of ants with tiny little backpacks

The backpacks themselves? I'm glad you asked. So, they each function on an actor model, where each potential state for each actor has its own address...

are there quintillions of states

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, actually tbh the address space is the least of my worries. At this point I'm gonna be honest, the ants just don't wanna play ball

[–] into_highest_invite@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

have you tried giving them tiny ant-sized balls

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

This is working much better. I've retired my dreams of creating an AGI based on the communal activities of ants, and am instead gearing up for full ownership of the IP for the first premier league ant football team.
