Ipv4 is simpler and therefore easier for my brain to comprehend.
I deliberately disable IPv6 on all the devices on my home network because it's really f**n annoying when some service tries to bind to localhost but picks up the IPv6 localhost instead of the IPv4 one
I've encountered way too many administrators and network admins who swear that "IPv6 does nothing but cause trouble" but the truth is, the trouble it's causing is because you can't half-implement IPv6. You either roll it out to the whole network or you don't, and the longer you kick that can down the road the harder it's going to be.
Basically too many professionals who haven't learned a new technology since 2005 and refuse to try new things keep holding the world back
The issue for me is when I have it enabled and try to connect to a site that doesn't support it fully (same thing / half assed) and the site doesn't work properly. For home its my wife and kids that complain, when its the office then everyone complains. I get the blame for failed connections or things not working right when a fully compliant IPv6 site works just fine.
Now I am not perfect so It could be me but I have read up and learned as much as possible. No expert but I did deploy DHCPv6 in a test environment. However there is no reason as of yet to deploy DHCPv6 locally since the address space is so wide. Just saying Its possible that the issue is me but from my understanding its like the U.S.A. switching to metric. Parts of us tried it but others didn't and thus we failed as a giant group.
I think there needs to be a big ass push and force everyone to switch as the same time. I know some of the old devices may not work however those devices have to be 20+ years by now.
Please, at least 85% of that network equipment hasn't been updated in 30 years and they're not about to start now.
Maybe this will move my ISP to provide IPv6.
IPv4 killed my parents.
Do you want to play a game?
What's a Gigahon?
transphobic slur used on 4chan to refer to trans women who do not pass as cis women

people like you are the reason we're losing IPv4 support on linux! (/s of course)
at least I'm right π
also you're welcome for ushering in a new era of progress
Oof that's way worse than I thought
here's the rabbit hole if you'd like to learn more: https://www.brainworms.lgbt/
Just remember, a lot of trans people have internalized transphobia - that doesn't excuse it, but it's important context that a lot of this is self loathing.
Linus did a follow-up: https://xn--c8h.fm/notes/abh00crrs1gcja8q
Basically told them to shove it up their colon
This is the first time I've seen a punycode domain name in the wild.
I think it is more likely that 95% of network equipment supports IPv6
Except whatever brings internet to my apartment apparently
Your ISP needs to setup IPv6 which isn't trivial to do from scratch.
What provider is it?

My dream. IPv6 adoption would skyrocket to a degree unimaginable and those who donβt want to, will fall behind unless they move their asses and learn.
Fine lol
Followup: 
THE TOASTER WILL BE REPLACED.
Fucking legendary quote from Linus.
It's a shame it's fake.
do you have proof that it's fake though
I'm glad that Linus clarified that it was High Resolution Timers. I was honestly thinking they were arguing about Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Given the demographics of Linux devs, it probably would be the latter.
I know! It seemed totally plausible! There is a very odd discrepancy between that and the general population.

ipv6 is great for public networks/ wan or extreme large nets. but for a small local net, ipv4 is so much easier if you need to access a single device. if ipv6 is parallell too, great but I hope ipv4 wont be disabled/ non existens in the future bc of this
I need to make sure you know this is a joke
I need to be told as well.
Tell me. Tell me now, or I torch my fiber modem!
Nobody tell them.
I think having both is nice.
