Apparently I'm becoming the guy at work who reliably asks "What about #IPV6 ?"
@smartperson Anyone who is not asking about #IPv6 where new hardware or software is developed is making a mistake. There are already situations where users end up in an IPv6-only environment. If your "smart IoT device" or "revolutionary application" doesn't support IPv6, it'll break in those cases and should be considered defective!
@namedbird I guess that's why they pay me the moderate bucks lol
Just have a look at https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/bcp177 and how old it is...
Sometimes I want that engraved on a steel baseball bat.
@wonka @smartperson So IPv6 hasn't been optional since 2012...
Time to complain to my ISP again.
@namedbird At least since 2023-12-12, which seems to me to be the date RFC6540 was declared to be Best Current Practice (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6540/history).
@smartperson don't feel bad I email my ISP's support email asking "when ipv6"
