Agreed- I turned on ipV6 and even tried turning off ipv4. All I found was a bunch of new, different problems to debug that were inevitably because somebody else somewhere doesn't support ipv6, or I would have to run some sort of bridge between the two networks. Of course this is for home where I don't need a gajillion publicly-routed IPs.
- neilalexander 4y agoThis is a frustrating take which I find myself challenging again and again and again. The need for IPv6 is not just about how many IP addresses _you_ need. The need for IPv6 is a global issue for a variety of reasons, including finding addressing for all of the millions of people and billions of devices still to come online, reducing complexity for system and application developers and being able to finally shed decades of protocol design decisions that have ended up being more painful than helpful. Everyone is always so quick to jump to how _they_ don't need IPv6. The truth is that we _all_ need it. Eventually, there will become a day when services will start to migrate to IPv6 because the cost and limitations of IPv4 addressing will become prohibitive. Then you'll no doubt care when it affects you personally.
