In the past few weeks I have been exploring mDNS and IPv6. Your router doesn't provide local DNS? Not an issue, add .local to the hostnames and boom, everything works.
For example, run `python3 -m http.server` on your laptop, then open the browser on your phone and browse yourlaptopname.local:8000 ! There's more, services are advertised on mDNS, that's how your printer magically appears on your computers and phones.
Perfect timing for me, I've just been spending my side-project time in the last few weeks on building the smallest possible VMs with different glibc distros exactly for this, running podman containers, and comparing results.
Agreed but we do have to interact with them. I once tried to sell a car with 140 Mm and got nowhere. I then changed the add to 140_000 km and got a lot more interest.
