It's only a /27, they were quite affordable a year or ten ago. A full /24 went for about $2500 back in 2015 when this was made and you can subdivide that to 8 customers who all get 30 usable addresses. Bit expensive for a joke, but not unmaintainably so.

It's silly that ISPs have messed up their IPv6 deployment so badly that there's a "shortage" of IPv4 addresses now. Of course, IPv4 was never going to be enough; there are too many people on earth.
