<p>That is not the case. There are LCOLC, LFSCOE and others which land on renewables being way more expensive. Even without your made up claim about "assuming cheap and fast to build nuclear power".</p>

<p>Storage is not just 'a problem', it doesn't exist and won't for many many decades.<p>The planned solution is hydrogen power plants, but no one wants to build them because the infrastructure, including electrolysers, is way too economically unfeasible.<p>Therefore, Germany is and will continue to be dependent on coal and gas, as these are the main producers every night. That's your 'grid backup fee' for you.</p>

<p>Because projects like these were missing back then, I got creative with nginx and do not need any config changes to serve new projects:<p><pre><code>  server {
    listen 80;
    server_name ~^(?<sub>\w+)(\.|-)(?<port>\d+).*; # projectx-20201-127-0-0-1.nip.io
    root sites/$sub/public_html;
    try_files $uri @backend;
    location @backend {
      proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:$port;
      access_log logs/$sub.access;
    }
  }
</code></pre>
Configuration is done via the domain name like projectx-20205-127-0-0-1.nip.io which specifies the directory and port.<p>All you need to do is create a junction (mklink /J domain folder_path). This maps the domain to a folder.</p>

<p>I think many people feel threatened by the success and the pace of the Node.js ecosystem.<p>Most arguments, even in this thread already, are just wrong. Obviously they have never had any experience with the Node.js ecosystem and another.</p>

<p>With the rotating IPv4 you at least have the possibility to make yourself more anonymous. IPv6 takes that decision away from you.<p>> You would probably have the same level of reliability with an IPv4 database currently<p>That is... a lie. The selling point of today's internet is that you are anonymous.<p>Also I don't know which "easier ways to track people" you mean.</p>

<p>This enables to track users not only across websites but across the entire internet.<p>It wouldn't surprise me if there are already databases which map IPv6 subnets to real names, addresses, banking data, ...<p>And anyone could just use that database or contribute to it.</p>

<p>The problem I have is that IPv6 is unusable right now.<p>Most server software cannot properly handle blocking of increasing IPv6 subnets.<p>And not only that, but my ISP assigns the same /64 subnet to me for months.
Who needs cookies anymore if you can just track the /64?
Even unplugging the router for a day won't assign a different prefix for me.</p>
