Every time IPv6 negativists come to the thread they make it look like you need to be a rocket scientist to configure two hosts for IPv6.
> You can't incrementally shift toward IPv6
Yes, you can, you don't need to throw out your lovely IPv4 networks and addresses. Yes, it's dual-stack.
> you have to run [..] tunnel, which adds at least another layer of complexity to everything
No more complexity than running a PPPoE/PPTP tunnel to get IPv4 connectivity.

Oh God! You need to read another 20 pages on top of the previous 20 pages you read to understand IPv6! So, so hard!
BTW you obviously forgot what there was a time when you didn't know nothing about IPv4, including what is the default router, what is ARP, what is CIDR, netmask, routing etc, etc. Yet somehow you know that now. Same applies to IPv6. You had 20 years to learn it, yet in 2023 you still complaining what to use a technology you need to learn.
- JohnFen 4y agoYour odd hostility is misplaced here. You seem to think I'm opposed to changing to IPv6, but I'm really not. I'm describing various reasons why there is such slow adoption of IPv6. Ridiculing and being mad at people for avoiding it isn't likely to make them feel any differently. Understanding the resistance might be helpful in terms of getting people over that hump.

You are not a devil's advocate nor a public defender, yet you defend those people, using the same nonsense reasons they use to defend their position. > I'm describing various reasons why there is such slow adoption of IPv6. For the most part those reasons boils down to 'I have my way and don't do a shit to learn something new'. > Ridiculing Yes, they deserve it. > and being mad at people A grown-ass person who can't find the reason and time to learn something new? I'm not mad at them, but I don't like when people defend them. > Understanding the resistance might be helpful in terms of getting people over that hump. See 'I have my way' part above.
