well, say goodbye to my ASN :<

[theresnotime@fox.nexus]

@sigmasternchen most nerdy bragging rights ever

[magiclike@soc.sekundenklebertransportverbot.de]

@theresnotime I wanna learn - what is an ASN?

[theresnotime@fox.nexus]

@MagicLike https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/as-numbers/ :3 (gosh that really doesn't help but enjoy going down the rabbit hole!)

[sigmasternchen@comfy.social]

@[email protected] Fair enough. But I for one was really jealous.

[theresnotime@fox.nexus]

@sigmasternchen silly :3 pat pat

[sigmasternchen@comfy.social]

@[email protected] ^^

[sigmasternchen@comfy.social]

@[email protected] But how did you manage to get one anyway? I think I read somewhere that you need to have an established AS vouch for you or something?

[theresnotime@fox.nexus]

@sigmasternchen I used https://glauca.digital/lir/ ^{^}

[lucaswerkmeister@wikis.world]

@theresnotime aww

so what do we do about https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110242813#P3797 now :blobhaj_thonk:

[blankeclair@catgirl.center]

@[email protected] @[email protected] deprecated rank with a cause that says something like too expensive

[lucaswerkmeister@wikis.world]

@BlankEclair @theresnotime but we usually only use deprecated for values that were always wrong

I think semantically correct would be to leave the existing statement as it is (maybe add an “end time” qualifier) and add a “no value” statement with preferred rank (and optionally start time)

question is if there’s references for any of that :S

[theresnotime@fox.nexus]

@LucasWerkmeister @BlankEclair I'll update https://www.as203024.net/ at some point and y'all can reference that (probably)
