i gave a talk at a uni this year about aws amd some innocent 21 year old asked me why ipv4 is still prevalent when ipv6 was still a thing

i started yammering on about routing, firewalls, security models etc all kinda relying on subnetting to segregate and how NAT lets an internet avoid address exhaustion and how changing all this old poo poo is a risk and pita and lots of work

his look of disgust and complete disinterest in my response because bigger number = better than and because he smugly knew something other people didn’t told me has a bright future as a computer toucher

granted not everything needs a public address, but we are legitimately out of v4 addresses and layering nat just leads to pain

did you enjoy my talk

tbf i am also disgusted and disinterested in the post version of this speech, and it is presumably way shorter than whatever you attacked that kid with.

your opinion is correct

can I be quite frank and say i don’t give two shits about ipv4 vs 6?

that’s poo poo for a different kind of nerd to worry about

networking is like plumbing, if you can flush your poo poo down the pipes without clogging them up wgaf
