"On Tuesday, the Pentagon made a technical announcement -- visible mainly to network administrators around the world -- saying it was resuming control of the 175 million IP addresses and directing the traffic to its own servers. On Friday the Pentagon told The Post that the pilot program, which it previously had characterized as a cybersecurity measure designed to detect unspecified "vulnerabilities" and "prevent unauthorized use of DoD IP address space," was over. Parts of the Internet once managed by Global Resource Systems, the Pentagon said, now were being overseen by the Department of Defense Information Network, known by the acronym DODIN and part of U.S. Cyber Command, based at Fort Meade."
Note: Gen. Nakasone is in charge of Cyber Command. I believe he was one of the key people mentioned in the Devolution series.

I laughed. But. Removed. Civil to each other, pls. :)
I have Aspergers. First look for the irony, please. I do not wish to offend but my sense of humor can be quite dry. You will note my response is exactly what was requested since no one is going to explain IP addressing to a five year old. Thank you for your indulgence.
Oh man I can only imagine the snark 🤣
I thought this was between me and catsfive, but ok I guess.
Oh, now I want to see it. It was already deleted by the time I got here. But I was having similar thoughts about explaining to 5-yr-olds.
The wife and I had a rule when we had teenaged kids in the house. If they teased each other and we laughed, they wouldn’t get in trouble.
That may have been suspect parenting, but it really developed their cleverness and grasp of humor.
Dang! Now my curiosity is in high gear and I REALLY want to know what g8rb81 said. 😬🤷🏼♀️😂
