Comment My home network is nearly pure IPv6 (Score 1) 48

Started the move about 18 months ago when I decided to get off my lazy ass. My ISP gives out a /56 prefix, so that lets me run 256 /64 subnets/VLANs in the house, currently there are ~10 in use. Everything get a GUA through SLAAC and I use RAs (Router Advertisements) to give ULAs to everything. Any external facing services get their own VLAN and /64 for the system(s) as needed. Firewall blocks all incoming as they usually do by default and I punch a hole for the external-facing systems. They can't reach back into the network, they only answer the phone. All the systems update DNS dynamically if the prefix or full address ever change.

I have an SSH bastion set up. In all this time there has not been a single SSH attempt from the internet. On IPv4 it was constant background noice.
For those legacy IPv4-only systems on the internet, I set up NAT64. I have an IoT VLAN and IoT 2.4 GHz wireless network that are only IPv4 because a lot of IoT network stacks are junk.

I'm still farting around with it, but man oh man, there's no way I'd go back to IPv4. It was one of the best moves I've done in ages.

Out of curiosity, What exactly is the proper modern approach to warfare?

1. Propagandize on teh intarwebs to get the useful idiots baying in the wrong direction. Including demonizing the wrong 1%.
2. Collect kompromat to control politicians. If none is available, have a program to create some. (RELEASE THE EPSTIEN FILES.)
3. Assymetric warfare, use swarms of cheap drones s while the enemy uses 1 million dollar missiles to try to stop them.
4. sabotage, particularly cyber and ecoonomic .
5. Don't be a blundering loudmouth. Diplomacy has a much greater ROI. Needing to blow things up is a failure.
0. Make sure you've got people on the inside working in your interests instead of those of their own nation.

Looks like the ADE 651 got a quantum upgrade.


Kind of like how in WWII the allies promoted the idea that carrots help with your night vision to obfuscate the fact that they had RADAR to explain away how their night fighters kept shooting down German planes. Even Bugs Bunny played his patriotic part for the war effort.
