i mean straight into the bin without spending 10+ years in the box of might-come-in-handy-someday first

im a fucking monster

they will allocate IPv6 in a dumb way that gives everyone billions of IPs and then run out in 30 years and wonder why

Meh I'm sure they'll find a way to shove an extra bit of address somewhere when this happens

my isp and my cellular provider don't have ipv6, but my isp supports multiple pppoe sessions so I can have 5 dynamic ipv4 address


also the news that probably started this thread

Czech republic sets IPv4 end date

quote:

On 17 January 2024, the Government of the Czech Republic approved the material "Restarting the implementation of DNSSEC and IPv6 technologies in the state administration". On the basis of this decision, the Czech state administration will stop providing its services over IPv4 on 6 June 2032. Thus, the Czech Republic knows its IPv4 shutdown

I think China mandated IPv6 for all new equipment, but I haven't seen it in HK nor the UK. I have an IPv6 on Comcast business, but not on Altice/Optimum, in the US.

Of course the Comcast router bungles the IPv6 configuration so it's not really usable.

if the goal of ipv6 was to not run out of address space it is a great success, kind of silly to increase the space when just making no one use it preserves all the space there is.

it's really good because then you can use the remaining 80 bits of the address to store machine names directly in ascii instead of bothering with a dns

ipv4 was so successful during its heyday that we barely remember what ipv3 even was or how it worked. rip to a real one.

You can't spell 'vector field' without me, Professor!

RIP being able to recite your IP address by heart

also for a long time my work machine was on the 198.162/16 subnet which meant 80% of the time I needed to fiddle with my home router (on, of course, 192.168/16) I'd get its local IP wrong :sad:

in aws the stuff in your vpc (like dns) is prefixed with

actually it's not all that hard to memorize ipv6 addresses if you have your own prefix (get one at https://ipv6.he.net). a /48 can be like 5 characters if you want it to be

ipv6 addresses can be adorbs, for example local services in an aws vpc are prefixed with fd00:ec2, eg dns is fd00:ec2::253 :3:
