To me the hoops that smoothbrains will jump through to avoid IPv6 and stay on legacy IPv4, especially when hosting, is pathetic. NAT, port forwarding, tunnels, blah blah blah blah.

I have something like ~1.2 trillion times the number of routable addresses that the entire IPv4 space has. Not all are reachable, of course, just the services that need incoming access and they're each on their own isolated DMZ.

Forgot to add: if you enable IPv6, be sure to use the browser extension IPvFoo. It shows a small 4 or 6 in your URI bar to let you know what protocol you're connecting to. Once enabled, you'll see just how much stuff out there actually is IPv6.

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.

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.

That's damn well not how they're selling it!

Finally some sanity, we can invest our retirement nest-egg 100% in Trumpcoin! WINNING!

Hmm, they're using a task specialized robot to do real world things, not some delusional AI investor fleecing machine. I guess right tool for the job and all that.

What more is there to say?

HEY, a little respect for the dead here!
