It's from the Polandball subreddit, so the degree to which Dutch looks like a mix of the two in the comic may be exaggerated. The characters are speaking their foreign language whilst mixing in enough English to be understandable.

Neither 867:5309:: nor 867::5309 appears to be allocated. Do IPv6 blocks work like car license plates where you can pay more to get a vanity plate of your choice or do you just get what you get?

I've spent more time than I care to admit reading Wikipedia entries on significant people from past centuries. Way too often their life story is full of disease and death. A dozen siblings. All of them suffer the same disease in childhood. Half of them don't make it to adulthood. Mother dies during childbirth. Father struggles making money from their creative work, dies in a duel. Subject cared for by wealthy uncle. Is affected for the remainder of their life by the lingering effects of the childhood disease. Repeat for the next generation.

It wouldn't be necessary for IA to go under. If push came to shove, they could just downsize and be forced to decide what to delete. They're probably sort of already doing that but for stuff they have not yet archived. What do you acquire verses what do you delete.

Anyone have a more in-depth technical description of how that works? I'm interested.

Looks like it's only available in the U.S., Canada, and some island countries.^[https://polsy.org.uk/stuff/ytrestrict.cgi?agreed=on&ytid=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dbcy582OB9qk] That sucks. Here it is on PreserveTube.

You wouldn't download a new car each time you want to download a new car.

The NoScript extension will properly do this. The extension blocks domains from running scripts except those you've whitelisted. There's a drop down that displays a list of domains from which the page wishes to run scripts. It makes much of the web a pain to use, though. I sometimes have to go through a loop of whitelisting a subset of domains which want to run followed by a page refresh until the page works. Javascript is often not optional. If you had to live like Richard Stallman professes you should, you'd probably have to join the Amish.
