My experience, indeed reality, says different for all values of "work" that matter to me.

My point is it's your vote against billions of others. My guess is "but what about kjs3's ISP" isn't a bullet point on the rollout list.

I'm not "voting against" anything. I genuinely done care and don't need to. I don't need IPv6, never had a single thing I needed[1] not work being IPv4 only, and moving just so I can prove "I have satisfied camgunz edict that nothing other than IPv6 can possibly work" isn't grounded in reality.

Those billions can move right along doing what they're doing. They don't bother me; I don't bother them (other than you, it seems). Considering how "IPv6 exclusive" has worked for the last 25 years, I'm quite confident I'll be dead before I reach the point of caring about it (and even if I make it, I'm equally confident I'll be able to manage both stacks).

This sort of tiresome sophistry really gets old. "But what about camgunz nearly religious need to pretend IPv6 is the One True Way and all others are heretical" is not more relevant to the wider world than "but what about kjs3's ISP".

[1] Emphasis on "that I need". I'm a network engineer and architect. Passed tests even. I've done IPv6 in prod, and I can contrive all sorts of "that only works if you're IPv6 only" scenarios and have had to work around some of them. They aren't relevant to my ISP or me.


If you don't personally throw a Molotov cocktail at your ISP after spray painting "IPv6 MOTHERFUCKERS" on their door I will downvote everything you post on HN for 2 years. Some people talk a big game; I walk it.
