Yep, every ISP and every device supports IPv6 and has done for ages. Show me one where they have disabled IPv4 and only use IPv6 that is not a mobile device or Telco ISP.

If you were correct, that graph would have been over 50% ages ago. As it is, that graph is showing how adoption is slowing and has been for the last 10 years. Hardly anybodies physical internet connection is using IPv6 primarily worldwide,

by alt227 10mo ago
That is correct, thankyou for assuming the positive instead of the negative. I personally believe that at about 60% utilisation the line on the graph will become flat and stay that way.

by alt227 10mo ago
I am arguing that at some point there wont be any more people without phones, meaning it has reached critical mass and so IPv6 adoption will stall. The number of smartphones in the world will not keep on going up forever.

by alt227 10mo ago
They are all using IPv6. Name one which has stopped using IPv4.

> So… the largest ISPs. Yep, a few gatekeepers of a single device space. Your numbers are wrong, seee the google graph everybody is pointing to: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

by alt227 10mo ago
Yep, mobile device space ISPs again which is what keeps being argued. IPv6 only connections will never gain full traction outside of the mobile marketplace.
608.
by alt227 10mo ago
Yes, I have done many times. You know what else Wireshark showed me? That even though my ISP and all my equipment have IPv6 addresses, they never use them by default.
609.
by alt227 10mo ago
Yes, that mobile space which is only made up of a few ISP and device types, that mobile device space which is completely seperate to the rest of the internet infrastructure of the world.

by alt227 10mo ago
Yep, and even with all those countries with their billions of mobile devices IPv6 use still hasnt even reached 50%. Pretty much all ISPs hand out both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses to their clients, this is nothing new. When they start only iss

Only due to the mobile device space. It will not take off outside of Wireless telco networks. Take a look at the IPv6 Google graph that everyone loves so much: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.ht
612.
by alt227 10mo ago
I disagree. If they were the largest ISPs then adoption would already be over 50% instead of stalling below it. I would say its more "Wireless only ISPs are the only ones using it"
613.
by alt227 10mo ago
Everything supports both. We are talking about being issued only IPv6 addresses where you actually use it to connect to stuff. Most mobile devices are only issued an IPv6 address and therefore when the masses do google searches it uses IPv6

People love this graph and regularly tout it as if it explains full internet usage. Especially when they dont bother to add any explanation or comment alongside it. This graph is mainly due to the fact that telcos use IPv6 for mobile device
615.
by alt227 10mo ago
Yes as I said in a sibling post the telcos are the only ones using it, and that is the only reason that graphs like the google client one exist. That is only because it already exists and is cheaper than using NAT when you have hundreds of

NAT superceded ipv6 quite plainly, and it is obvious what technology won out.
617.
by alt227 10mo ago
This is mainly due to mobile devices only being issued ipv6 addresses by the telco 4g networks. They are the only ones using ipv6 on the millions of clients scale.
618.
by alt227 10mo ago
IPv6 was superceded by NAT a long time ago. It will die a slw and quiet death which is why it is now being ignored by training facilities and experts worldwide.

I already made my point. If the community agrees with you then we wont see these on the front page anymore. If not then you will either need to be ok with seeing more of them, or not read HN.
620.
by alt227 10mo ago
Then if the community agrees with you, these posts will get zero upvotes and we will never see them on the front page again. If not, then you will start seeing them more and more and you will need to suck it up my friend!
621.
by alt227 10mo ago
But it sure does lampoon a current point which is that people seem pretty quick to want to share their Rust rewrites of other software.
622.
by alt227 10mo ago
Its on the front page, that means it atttracted attention and was upvoted. If what you are saying was true, these posts would die very quickly and we would never see them. Maybe its just you who doesnt like them?

by alt227 11mo ago
It literally depends on who it is benefitting. If I run a small clothing company ad I want to print Mickey Mouse tshirts becasue it will make me money, I need to pay license fees to Disney to use their IP. On the other hand if I am the bigg

Not hit and run. There are underlying assumptions which most intelligent people can infer. The intention was to say that all of your comments are a bit naive from an ecommerce site perspective. Having been through mutiple builds and launche

Why is what? The post is fully self explanitory. If the OP chooses to use Imgur, then a large chunk of the readers will not know what they are talking about.
626.
by alt227 11mo ago
Yes tried that. Getting a new government was a bit tricky and work policy doesnt allow personal VPNs, so was just letting OP know that if they choose to use Imgur then a large chunk of the readers wont know what they are talking about.
627.
by alt227 11mo ago
Have done multiple times. Im not asking op to change, just to consider ther may be a large chunk of readers who cant see what they are referencing if they choose Imgur.
628.
by alt227 11mo ago
You obviously dont run an ecommerce website

What about now during the current administration and after DEI has just been killed?

If he wasnt the President, he wouldnt be able to do those things. Therefore the fact he is President is pretty relevant.
