  • The "no flag day" is how ipv6 should have been engineered.

  • isn't any ipv6+ supposed to use any string address and no DNS is required at all? :D

  • Thanks for going through the work of testing this. Better to have the actual results for a joke than to joke about theories :)

  • Question for someone who knows more about this stuff than I do: Why don't the problems in the "economic collapse" section also apply to IPv6? Or do they, and we've only been saved by lack of adoption?

  • Thanks for testing, in year 2026, still IPv6 is not fully well utilized homes, corporates especially it is worse at clouds (AWS, GCP) if you not limit north to south, they are not good for east-to-west compared to telco providers. For example, GCP uses IP forwarding for IPv6 real IP address is not allocated at machine. At some of the components which is EKS is not support every case at IPv6.

    So IPv8 can be available around year 2300 I guess :) (i have not inspected v8 RFC yet)

  • It's 2026 and we're turning troll/fake spec submissions into actual usable technology. What a time to be alive.

    There's only one thing in the article I disagree with:

    > RIRs (ARIN, RIPE, APNIC) Go Financially Bankrupt

    This is purely an argument of pragmatism, rather than having any technical merit. If a system works, and meaningfully improves over another system, I couldn't care less that people aren't able to effectively monetize it.

  • I appreciate this. IPv8 is a terrible, terrible idea, and it’s good to see someone actually built it out to prove the depths of its terribleness. Well done.
