dmi 💽 so when i dislike changes in software i’m “weird” and i should “get on with the times”, but when you don’t wanna do IPv6 because it’s new and scary (TO YOU) it’s suddenly okay?
come on…
ipv6 isn’t without flaws. but have you SEEN the general software landscape? the things that we put up with on a daily basis?
if we waited with software to be “perfect” as much as we seemingly do with networks, computers would still only be strictly experimental mainframes
(i’m still convinced that most of this is due to insufficient education on the subject, hoping to - within my lifetime - write at least one book about the general subject that would be a little bit more approachable than the current SEO-enshittified status-quo)
emilia@domi I'd agree with you on this being an educational issue. During my study which was only a few short years ago it was basically only about IPv4. We did get a little bit of theory, but all the practical stuff was IPv4 only, and most of the theoretical stuff was also still very much IPv4 focused.
