Oh, boy. I'm impressed it's still working.

IPv6 keeps being a running joke. At least some people still have some sense of humour about it.

Playing music automatically once a page loads is not the best idea. Please avoid doing so when possible. Even in Christmas season.

I very much suspect that a lot of those ping6 packets are ignored.

At 300 Mbit/s that would be around 400000 pings per second or less than 3 μs/flash. At that speed the camera would not register individual flashes.

If his connection is actually saturated, he's more likely being packeted by someone trying to have fun.

IPv6 is silently gaining a lot of steam lately. Akamai reports[1] close to 50% from comcast and att over ipv6, and 80% from verizon, 72% from t-mobile. Reliance Jio, a new mobile carrier in India is doing 47%.

IPv6 needed to happen a decade ago. We have exhausted the IPv4 space. I feel IPv6 suffered from huge usability issues, although it can be worked around with good provisioning systems that automatically setup DNS entries.

We're going to get to the point where spinning up a VPS with an IPv4 address is going to get increasingly more and more expensive, unless we make some huge strides in moving to IPv6.
