I’ll be honest, it was a slow week this week.

Despite this, I’ve read a few interesting things and shared them below.

I hope you enjoy!

What I Learned This Week
#

Why IPv6 Sucks
#

As the number of devices using the internet grows, society needs to migrate from IPv4 to IPv6. This article on IPv6 makes me chuckle, and I often share it with friends.

NAT Traversal
#

A deep article on Network Address Translation, and how it works.

Python 3.12
#

Python 3.12 came out this week. I’m most excited about the improved f-string functionality and looking forward to improvements in linting.

ARP Chat
#

This one is pretty crazy. The author also wrote this article on ARP and how it works.

HTTP/3 Adoption
#

A timely article and HN discussion on the merits of HTTP/3. It will be interesting to watch as HTTP/3 weaves its way into more use cases.
