IPv4 Internet of today

I wonder whether 2025 will be the year of IPv6.

I miss 90s and dialup as then you could actually speak to another computer no strings attached...

In some ways Internet was more advanced in tech back then ;-)

Think how much some IM services could scale down in service if computers could actually talk to each other.

Fuck NAT.

The only person I've talk to and with whom I can share my IPv6 grit has been David Woodhouse. He really gets this! I wish more PE's in big companies were like David (he works at AWS).

If you are PE of your company who has influence, be "the dwmw2" of your corps ;-)

Make a difference. In tech.

@jarkko Company where I work renewed VPN from Cisco to Paloalto. After multiple problems seen on win/mac/linux-clients fix is to disable IPv6 when using Paloalto VPN. Their client seems to suck a lot but it's "market leader" which explains...

@teve IPv6 is not really for the masses or like especially providing end user apps requiring IPv6. So not like extremely huge surprise...

I heard that recently YLE turned it on so points up for that!

@teve @jarkko our VPN(Cisco) still can’t force routing of IPv6 which means we have weird split tunnelling issues where Users with IPv6 can’t access our AllowListed endpoints because the are hitting those via IPv6 and not via the VPN. Solution from Cisco is to disable IPv6 on clients🤦‍♂️

@chimbosonic @teve ya... it is sad

I mean I did regularly in 1996 e.g. /dcc send ;-) good times...

Or like wouldn't it be cool if you could just plain call your mates computer? WA or similar not required all-in-the-client...

@chimbosonic @teve Feels just tragic that we've spend billions and billions to build these fast connections between computers and we still have just 2024 versions of AOL or CompuServe. No one can talk to each other in bits.
