    Or do what ietf did “We’re running out of 32bit addresses, should we add some bits and call it an even 48? No! Let’s double the number of addresses 96 fucking times!”

    Start using 128bit for everything.

      If you have to solve a problem, do it in a way that solves it for good.

      Max value of uint128 is ~340 undecillion (~3.4e38).
