Dude the entirety of the internet is held up with handshakes and duct tape. I will not judge anyone for using it. (I may judge someone for using it then making it seem as if they've made gold from lead though)

If anyone doubts this statement, please look into bgp routing. Then look at the exhaustion of ipv4 space and the near 5% adoption of worldwide ipv6 space. It is insane to me that the internet even works as well as it does. The fact that we have wireless connections to the network doubly so.
