Another benefit to IPv6: you can have multiple IPs!

Same with IPv4 they're just scare so you usually only get a /32 but you can get larger subnets.
With IPv6 the standard is to assign a /64 for residential which is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IPv6 addresses. That's enough to assign every cell in your body 450,000 IPv6 addresses and still have over 1.5 quintrillion IPv6 addresses left over to use for your home network.

@fireglow @terryenglish I use a ULA prefix in addition to the /60 Comcast delegated (via DHCP-PD) so that way my local DNS can point to these addresses rather than (the potentially changing) Comcast prefix: pastebin.com/052ZXt1s That address beginning with "fdc5:" is it, it's not routable across the internets sadly but it at least remains the same if Comcast delegates me a new prefix so my local DNS records will still work. Another benefit to IPv6: you can have multiple IPs!

@terryenglish I get a /60 prefix from Comcast and run both IPv4 & 6 on my home network. It bums me out to see so many comments on that article bemoaning lack of backward compatibility when this β€œdual-stack” approach works well without the added complexity of NATing between the protocols. Since IPv4 β€œjust works” at first glance I think it’s left a lot of people in the dark on how to transition or even why they should bother in the first place

Can we now switch to IPv6? Pwetty pwease ☺️

There is now a literal waitlist for IPv4 addresses. And no jumping the line

RIPE approves new policy that shouldn't really exist

I started to see overloaded IPv6 international transit on the China Unicom backbone network for the first time, never seen that before... 70% packet loss, comparable to the old network.

It used to have great stability, possibly due to the fact that nobody was using it. As the deployment rate goes up, I guess our IPv6 early-adopters' free lunch is over. If anyone sees me suddenly disappear from Fediverse in the middle of a conversation, you could know the China Unicom backbone explodes :blobcatumm:

The best thing the left ever did was make the words racist and Nazi meaningless. Now you can say whatever you want because no matter what you say you’ll be called a racist or a Nazi. Everything gets lost in the wash and now the left is realizing their mistake and trying to ban people from saying anything on public platforms. This too will fail ,but only after the people get sick of it and push back. When the pendulum swings back ,and it always does, it’s going to be a shit show of epic proportions.

If I could go back in time instead of killing Hitler I'd kill everyone associated with The Big Bang Theory so that nerdery and geekdom wouldn't be co-opted by Hollywood hipster scum.

And the winner of the 2020 Democratic Party primary is...instead of any of the nominees...Hilary Clinton!
