    Of course not. They removed it because it saves them money, thus increasing their profit margins.

    This is a very poor straw man. In IPv6 world you wouldn't get 2001::/112, you'd get 2001:1234:5678:90ab::/48. So your building might actually be at best something like 2001:1234:56…

    It doesn't matter if the wifi is encrypted or not. All that matters is that you share the network with an attacker. You can ARP poison just fine, encrypted or open, wifi or wired.

    Don't worry, you're only allowed to see responses to stuff if you're logged in. Hope they don't ban you from having an account for daring to @ musk.

    Well, they are really wireless. Wireless costs more because suddenly you need to deal with antennas and RF and whatever. Adding a wire back on top of that doesn't magically make it…

    Nothing has taken its place, and you didn't even get anything cheaper. The only one who won was Apple.

    Yes, IPv6-first is definitely the way to do it. Just be careful not to run into Github's issue ( https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/5y8b8lsqbbyq ) or Google's issue ( https://i…

    Perhaps, but the other realistic option is a self-signed cert. Since browsers refuse to implement any kind of TOFU or otherwise 'trust history', a self-signed cert is pretty much e…

    Sometimes they might have been able to allocate it more compactly - but how do you predict exactly what your needs will be in 20 years? Other times they might not have been able to…

    I didn't have IPv6 available from the sole (land-based) ISP who offered service at my last house, Altice USA (Suddenlink/Optimum). I moved away about 13 months ago. (Worse yet thei…

    I think there's an extra, important, oft-missed part implicit in your scenarios: 1) make everything the same, the good and the bad, just extend the address space, and replace all t…
