I bet all those people that got tattoos of "There's no place like 127.0.0.1" are so embarrassed now that IPv6 has been adopted globally.

There's no place like localhost

Indeed. Has "home" ever been an alias for 127.0.0.1?.

adopted globally

Lol yeah, okay. Talk to me when you can actually get to most sites with IPv6.

My home provider had IPv6 for like two years, after I specifically opened a support ticket for it. Now it's broken and they won't bother to fix it, because no one else asks them.

No place like localhost

No place like loopback

Those are probably the same people running my ISP, because there are no expectations of them ever implementing ipv6...

now that IPv6 has been adopted globally.

Now that is a quality joke

It's 2024 and no isp's in my country still provide ipv6 from what I have seen.

OP is right, though… https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/XA

Africa 2%. Nigerian princes falling behind.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 months ago

So 37% of the world...

Ipv4 is till the vast majority

I cannot use mobile data with ipv6, as no carrier in my country gives them out.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Just vpn to your house that has ipv6. Simples.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well, still less than half of the internet

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but globally means around the globe :)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Glad to learn that HTTP/0.9 is still "in use globally" then. A bit surprising, but since it's all about stretching definitions past what is reasonable, for the sole purpose of having the last word, let's shoehorn anything into anything to the infinity and beyond!!! 🤡🚀

Don't worry, it’s both

Feeling personally attacked here.. I'm coincidentally trying to get ipv6 remote to my machine working right but I don't know what I'm doing so while everything is working by itself anything I try fails.. 💀

(I don't need help, it's better if I learn it the hard way)

There is nothing wrong in asking for help if you hit a wall mate.
