Your first link was when IANA allocated five final /8s to the RIRs, including RIPE. Your second link was when RIPE reached their final /8, and switched to a "one /22 per company" rationing policy. Today, the rations ran out.

These are different levels of exhaustion.

First link: Last ICANN (global) RIR-reserved block assigned allocated to a RIR. End of the line for blocks that were globally reserved for, but yet unused by RIRs.

Second link: RIPE (a RIR) has one month until it starts distributing its last /8 block (185.0.0.0/8) to LIRs.

Now: 185.0.0.0/8 and small bits and bobs that RIPE still had for LIRs (ISPs) is gone. No more IPv4 for European/ME ISPs from RIPE, only gray market available.

The previous posts were the writing on the wall. Now we're actually fucked.

I wonder which will happen next, IP addresses again or Voyager leaving the solar system again?
