That will be a problem for sites that are all hosted on one IP address where the server figures out what site you want by the client's request string.

Well then you just take whatever you get, it's website roulette.

Is this not a majority of them

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

It is.

Of course there are alternatives if you give up using the host header, like routing by URL. But that's difficult when the URL is encrypted, meaning SSL has to be terminated at the proxy.

My home stuff is like this

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thats because of how you set it up. If you want individual IP addresses for all your resources, you can get a huge chunk of IPv6 addresses just for yourself. You can get a /48 (65,536) addresses if you set it up with your ISP.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah totally, it's just wrong to say it's not the majority of them.

You do have a point there NaibofTabr@46.4.254.144

See? If you don't like DNS, you don't have to use DNS, it's not so hard.

And IPv6 won't be that much harder, it's only... uh... 32 hex digits you'll have to remember, for each website. No big deal.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, only 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:2e04:fe90. Simple!

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Well, then someone would just create a directory that associates each ipv6 with the name of the company using it, so you can search for the easy to remember, human readable name which automa-

Oh I see what happened here.

Did you know we have these things called computer files that can store information. There's even one in your router specifically for storing IP addresses

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah, you're right, I should just look up IP addresses in my NAT table. Maybe I should add comments to it so I know which IP is which.

[–] aeshna_cyanea@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

yep literally this. don't most routers nowadays have a dns server with a hosts file you can edit?

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No no no, see, DNS is bad, that's the whole point. No touchy.

Can't have any of that neoliberal stuff, gotta delete the hosts file.

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 1 week ago

Ahh! The files are in the router!l

Queue jumping up and down like a monkey trying to rip apart my router in order to reach a website

And IPv6 won’t be that much harder, it’s only… uh… 32 hex digits

I'm still salty that IPv6 is not 6 octets. Six. It's right there in the name. IPv4 is 4 octets!

[–] infeeeee@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

30 years ago we had to remember phone numbers, now ip addresses. We are going in circles.

[–] Krackalot@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 week ago

Your perspective makes you believe we're going in circles. In actuality, we're going down the drain...

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago

At least they stopped dumping the yellow pages on my porch every year...
