I'm absolutely fucking amazed BitTorrent Sync, recently created peer to peer software, didn't have IPv6 since day one? IPv6 just makes P2P easier and more reliable as there's no NAT anymore. Why wouldn't you want that?

The two biggest arguments are Carrier Grade NAT and dodgy transitional stacks. 1) ISPs are increasingly deploying Carrier Grade NAT, which puts several people behind a single IP. This completely breaks end-to-end as you can't port forw

Do they discourage or just not support? I've never seen Let's Encrypt claim OV is pointless or anything like that. However, what are the benefits of OV though? From checking Google, they seem to display as regular DV certificates

I appreciate your answer. Thinking about it, I realize this may not the best example to give to why "just leave" doesn't work. You might have an attachment to the culture and few, if any, other countries can tick the same box

Sometimes you can't. More than anything else I wish I could just get on a plane and move to America but I can't because I'm not eligible for any visas. My company tried to relocate me and the immigration lawyer we hired basic

I really hope so. All the text-to-speech software I've used has a generic sounding accent for the country (your choices are typically American, Australian, British, Canadian) but there's a lot more accents out there. The software

If your ISP provides IPv6, then it's up to your router to support it and hand out an address to your computer. You might be able to get a firmware update for it, or use a good third-party one. Your OS almost certainly supports IPv6 alr

It sounds very grim, is there any chance/hope of us getting out of this situation or is it just beyond any action at this point? I get the feeling from the article we're doomed.

Are you suggesting there's zero people outside HN who avoid Google products due to legitimate concerns of long-term availability?

Problem is, people on HN are making decisions and building tools and startups. If everyone loses faith in Google, we'll stop using their platforms and tools which translates to loss of money. The only example I can give is at my day jo
