Apparently I'm becoming the guy at work who reliably asks "What about ?" 😅

@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

@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 (datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc65).

@smartperson

datatracker.ietf.orgHistory for rfc6540

@smartperson don't feel bad I email my ISP's support email asking "when ipv6"
