I think I'll wait a few days when everyone forgets about this, so I can actually see the effects of my pings .. if it's still up.
IPv6 enabled Christmas Tree

Re: IPv6 enabled Christmas Tree
#12IPv6 keeps being a running joke. At least some people still have some sense of humour about it.
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.
We need to 1) force owners of legacy /8s to give up on them, and 2) make sure all mobile ISPs worldwide and residential connections in developing countries have their customers behind a CGNAT
2) would also help a lot with the upcoming IoT security shitstorm

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%. [1] https://www.akamai.com/us/en/our-thinking/state-of-the-inter... (click 'networks')
Thanks, very interesting data set. Shocking to see India went from 1% Ipv6 to 22% in just a period of 6 months or so due to Reliance Network.

#14Playing music automatically once a page loads is not the best idea. Please avoid doing so when possible. Even in Christmas season.
Normally I would agree, but in this case it improved my experience.

#15So that's like 16,581,375 IPv6 addresses right? How much would all of those cost?

CGNAT prevents users from hosting personal services - its a PitA.

You do realize most of the legacy /8 owners are actively using them, right?

Forcing owners of legacy /8's to give them up is hugely cost prohibitive for them. Various orgs with their own /8's might not announce them, but use them extensively internally.
Also, it wouldn't really help stave off the amount of IP's required, and we'd still be out in months.

You can get a /64 from many different providers for the cost of renting a single VPS from them...
