As a networking nerd, I am endlessly frustrated with how many otherwise smart people are just 'fuck ipv6 lmao'
Giving me goddamn flashbacks to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v26BAlfWBm8
Ye fuck ipv6 lol. I still have no need to move to it lol.
IP4 is running out, that's the problem. Or better, IP4 is hoarded by companies and they don't give them up. The insane amount of network devices every human being uses on a daily basis doesn't make the situation better. It exploded the last 10 years and only gets worse. The fuckery ISPs are doing to solve it without IP6 is insane, fuck cgnats and co. The whole networking world would be so much better to get it over with and adopt IP6 everywhere and let the hoarders drown in their mountain of IP4.
My ISP gave me a IPV6 router. I have it bridged (or whatever the right term is) to another router that serves IPV4 addresses to all my devices. Worked well so far with the added bonus that the ISP can't see what's going on within my network.
