  • that is correct but doesn’t change the fact that nat came afterwards as a workaround und now the ip stack goes back to it’s roots without a nat workaround.

    And the end result is a simplification for routing.

    true but still nowadays it isn’t even slow anymore just refusal

    That’s just the pace of large scale adoption of new technology. Look at some of the technologies the banking and financial industry uses as an example (ISO 8583 is a great example). ISP’s still support T1 circuits as well.


  • Ipv6 does simplify routing. It has less headers and therefore less overheard. IPv6 addressed the necessity of NAT by adding an obscene amount of possible IPs. Removing the necessity of NAT also simplifies routing as it’s less that the router has to do.

    Ipv6 as a concept was drafted in the 90s. It didn’t start actually being seriously used until ~2006/7ish.


  • People still use IPv4 because companies are slow to adopt new technologies. They see it as a huge money drain and if there is not a visible or tangible benefit to it then they won’t invest in it. IPv6 is definitely a growing technology, it’s just taking it’s sweet time. For reference, currently the IPv4 has just under a million routes in the global routing table while IPv6 has ~216K routes. About 5 years ago it was something like 100K for IPv6 and not much has changed for IPv4.

    I personally do not like the addressing of IPv6. It’s not just the length, but now you have to use colons instead of period to separate the octets which leads to extra key strokes since I have to hold shift to type in a colon. It’s a minor thing, but when networking is your bread and butter it adds up.

    There are also some other concerns with IPv6. Since IPv6 tries to simplify routing by doing things like getting rid of NATing it also opens us up to more remote attacks. It used to be harder to target a specific user or PC that’s behind a NATed IP but now everything is out in the open. I’m sure things will get better as more and more people use it and there will be changes made to the protocol however. It’s just the natural evolution of technology.

    I am very surprised to hear your ISP is not using IPv6. Seems like they’re a little behind the times. Unless they just don’t offer it to residential customers, which is still a bit behind the times too I guess.







  • First off, just looking at those pictures…Ouch. I hope they don’t hurt you OP.

    Some suggestions I can think of:

    1. Hiking if there are any places near you and you can get to them.
    2. Woodworking? Not sure if you can do it because of your hands.
    3. Gardening/Landscaping. I gardened this summer and while the effort was minimal since I didn’t plant much it was kind of rewarding. I’ve done a bit of landscaping (laying interlock) and it was also rewarding.
    4. Running and/or swimming. Not exactly mentally stimulating I know but don’t discount the endorphin boost.

    If you want you can try also asking this question at the !fitness@lemmy.world community.


  • I’ll admit I didn’t go through that many of OPs posts when I made my original comment to you so I took a closer look. It looks like OPs titles suffer from bad grammar more than bad spelling. The only real spelling mistakes I found was “redemtion” on a few of OPs posts which can be excusable if you’re just spelling it how it sounds. I 100% agree with you people should do their best to proofread their posts, especially titles. I just don’t feel it’s justification enough to downvote someone.



  • Put a bit more effort in your posts. It’s nice that you’re actually posting and asking questions to engage the community. I just think you need to work on making your posts not seem low effort. For example, in your post about a game you like or comparing games try writing some talking points that would engage people. Opinions you have. Lists of things you like and dislike. Things like that.

    When you just have a bunch of low effort posts it makes it look like you’re some kind of online troll building a presence to make you seem more authentic.





  • Mainly if I feel they’re some kind of troll on political discussions (i.e. the war in Gaza). I usually go back and forth a few times but if I feel like they’re intentionally sidestepping the issue to make some kind of mundane point I tag them as such.

    I like you’re idea of tagging the nice users though. I think I might start doing that.

    Also, what’s pug mean?
