It was basically zero until around 2015 and now it's like 40%, although it's not evenly distributed by country, so I'd like to think that if it continues to increase at its current rate for the next 10 years it will hit a point where all the holdouts have to give in and support it.

eventually one of the major players who thinks they can dictate to the rest of the tech world so, apple is going to say gently caress it, ipv4 is going away in the next OS, everyone deal with it or get a whole lot of complaints from our numerous and rich customers

The answer to ipv4 woes is always just another layer of NAT!

I'm legitimately wondering if we will ever see mass IPv6 adoption in our lifetimes and I'm not even that old.

Using a VM that NAT's through my host machine, which NAT's through my home router, which NAT's through my carrier level.
Only three levels of NAT? That's amateur stuff!

You could easily add NAT64 which comes in LSN, STL and CLAT variants.

i went to college and i still think ipv6 is too complicated for the layman.

how the gently caress am i supposed to mnemonically remember 128 bits

at least ipv4 is like a telephone number, and the human brain is pretty good at remembering phone numbers

when has anyone ever argued that the layperson is supposed to remember ipv4 or ipv6 addresses, when they can't remember phone numbers?

it's why we have this thing called the domain name system

i don't believe we'll ever be able to stop having to type ip addresses or compare and remember them. ipv6 plainly sucks for that

nat is fine and there's absolutely no reason to not be using both ipv4 and ipv6 in parallel forever. it's not like a physical port on a machine that has a cost or a security risk like some old protocols

lol what i don't remember ip addresses. i assign them and put them in hosts file or ssh config or whatever. and as mentioned above there are lots of shortcuts we take in writing v6 addresses

for ipv6 to be "too complicated" you have to be loving up at so many levels it's not funny (yes it is, it's very funny)

idgaf if ipv6 can be shortened internally because i can use ipv4 on my internal network

public ipv6 addresses are long and unmemorable and sorry about your nameserver fantasies but you will always eventually have to type one by hand

also my point about keeping both alive at the same time still stands. it literally costs nothing

e: exactly what the other poster said: ipv6 for public addressing and ipv4 for private. it's just fine.

i have typed them out by hand but that's because folks tend to forget ipv6 needs firewalls too

if you're routinely typing in ipv4 addresses (that aren't specifically-chosen-to-be-memorable DNS server addresses) then you're really doing something wrong

Actually if you're "routinely" typing in DNS server addresses then you're also doing something wrong, probably related to touching computers too much, but I can accept needing to do that very occasionally

yeah that's how it's supposed to work. A /48 is standard but some ISP's are more stingy and give out a /64.

still way, way more addresses than you could ever need

so my friends could print things in glorious laser quality instead of dragging whatever $30 inkjet out of their closet and finding out the nozzles had dried out anyway and then just come pick it up or I'd bring it when I saw them next while not having to deal with getting the files from them or having a copy of whatever software they were using myself. Kind of a limited access private print shop in a place where the nearest actual print shop was an hour+ drive.

In the world of the early 2000s rural south stumbling across a networked and physically bulletproof laser printer with a full toner for $5 at the thrift store was a gamechanger

1) The layman does not remember ipv4 addresses
2) The entire reason for ipv6 is that there aren't enough ipv4 addresses for all the devices now, so having more bits of information is kind of just the fault of reality rather than ipv6.
3) Having the addresses be short enough to remember is not really something that anyone cares about now. Use dns or something.

the only ip addresses you need to remember are 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 192.168.x.x, and 127.0.0.1. nobody ever needs more than those. maybe 1.1.1.1 too if you want buttflare.

i recently (last few months) set up our ddwrt router to properly get an ipv6 from our isp (cox). easy and owns.
