@previous (FuckAlms !vX8K53rFBI)
obviously not

sadly a very small % of isps support ipv6 currently

I was gonna say, how do you run out of IPs a year after you introduce a new schema to drastically expand the pool.

there is at least one ipv6 address for each 1/10th of a square inch of the planet

Does this mean the Internet is going to die?

Unfortunately, no. The internet is far too large to be contained at this point.

No but it will become an exclusive club with prices of internet connected devices reaching into the millions.

This is just one more nudge to force everyone to upgrade to IPv6.

...no

So far pretty much everything you think it means is just utterly and completely off-base. If anything it would make ban evasion easier.

no it fucking doesn't, the scarcity of ipv4 addresses means that overlaps between users are far more common (ISPs are already greedily recycling ipv4 addresses, if ipv6 doesnt catch on soon we'll be seeing isp-grade nat) so banning ip addresses becomes less effective

banning IP addresses is already ineffective.
