Agreed. Though I wonder if ipv6 will ever displace ipv4 in things like virtual networks (docker, vpn, etc.) where there’s no need for a bigger address space
Wait, but if you have, for example an HTTP API and you listen on a unix socket in for incoming requests, this is quite a lot of overhead in parsing HTTP headers. It is not much, but also cannot be the recommended solution on how to do network applications.
I use ipv6 when possible but it’s rarely possible. I’ve never had home internet that was ipv6 ready enough for my wan address when googling “what’s my ip” to be something besides an ipv4 number.
Could I get ipv6 over otherwise non ipv6 compatible hardware using a vpn?
You’re probably in a country that got a ton of allocations in the 90s. If you came from a country that was a little late to build out their infrastructure, or even tried to setup a new ISP in just about any country, you would have a much harder time.
Should probably fix that given we’ve been out of IPv4 for over a decade now and v6 is only becoming more widely deployed

I hope so. I don’t want to manage two different address spaces in my head. I prefer if one standard is just the standard.
Yes, because Docker becomes significantly more powerful once every container has a different publicly addressable IP.
Altough IPv6 support in Docker is still lacking in some areas right now, so add that to the long list of IPv6 migration todos.
I wish everything would just default to a unix socket in /run, with only nginx managing http and stream reverse sockets.

Replacing a TCP socket with a UNIX socket doesn’t affect the amount of headers you have to parse.
Then why does it still break everything lol
Skill issue
It’s not real.

Really? Haven’t had trouble allocating new VPSs with IPv4 as of late…
