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
In a local network there is no point in using ipv6.
It is interesting when you run out of ip addresses for the amount of devices you have.
So in the open Internet.
Unless I am missing something.
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.
Do you want to play a game?

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.
THE TOASTER WILL BE REPLACED.
Fucking legendary quote from Linus.
Take your pills, Alice.
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?
What's a Gigahon?

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.
I actually just thought it was calling someone extra naive. Like when someone says something naive, and you go "Oh hon..." Or "Oh my sweet summer child..."
Ironically, that's kind of where I find myself now.
oh honey, my sweet summer child π
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.
I'm kind of weirdly horny for Torvalds making unilateral decisions about long running controversies? Tell me what standards are best kernel daddy.
Maybe next he can ban tabs and '\t' from Linux? Everyone indents with spaces now, debate over.
I need to inflict this reply upon others. It is so gloriously cursed out of context. And in context too.
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!
As a modest proposal, let's just kill anyone who disagrees. These troglodytes had long enough time to get on speed with the world and human progress cannot further afford individuals unwilling to adapt.
Renewal! Progress! Electrification!
