Are you ready for the big internet crunch?

In 18 months time the internet as we know it will no longer be able to grow.

(CNN) -- The internet as we know it is reaching its limits.

Within 18 months it is estimated that the number of new devices able to connect to the world wide web will plummet as we run out of "IP addresses" -- the unique codes that provide access to the internet for everything from PCs to smart phones.

Yeah, remember what happened in 1920 when they almost exhausted all IP addresses!

I was about to post that unfortunately it's not possible for Setti to provide services in the IPv6 world, but it turns out that it's possible.

Expect to see Setti in the IPv6 world someday soon. We'll keep the legacy protocol (ipv4) still active, though.

Quick update:

Setti's IPv6 address is 2a01:4f8:100:1463::2.
