Check out some of the real-world samples. Crystal clear signal when analog is just about all noise. Most impressive.

"You haven't decoded our message?" the alien said. "Your GalacUnion invitation, RSVP today?"
"Er..." said the human. "No."
"We only sent it once we knew you had enough computing capacity to do it."
"We didn't know!"
"What did you use those computers for then?"
"Mining bitcoin..."

@staticsafe ♫ WOOB umm wub wub wub ♫
Protip:
When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,
"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."
And now I've had my first QSO on FT8. #hamradio

@CobaltVelvet it me pretty much every day
it's wild how many IPv4 /8 networks were given out in the early days of the Internet
@jordyd The problem is the places that have a bunch of IPv4 space but aren't using it are now selling it off at exorbitant cost. Big players like AWS are more often than not willing to pay it because they're growing like mad. So, even if the "majority" of IPs aren't in use, they soon will be.
There has been talk of trying to recover Class E (multicast) space, but models of address consumption show that would only buy a few months.
