a lot of sys and net admins really don’t like the idea of every lan device being globally addressable

Those admins don’t know what they’re talking about. IPv6 has a region of the address space that can only be reached locally - similar to the 192.168.x.x space in IPv4.

Honestly my biggest issue with ipv6, aside from not understanding it, which I don’t, at all, I’ve realized while setting up my own opnsense firewall, is that they decided on FUVKING COLONS. AND LETTERS. Okay, cool, hexadecimal exists, that’s swell, but typing them is such a fucking pain in the ass.

There’s no way to put your fingers on a keyboard to make it feel natural.

  Nothing the mechanical keyboard community can’t solve.

  While I agree that it is godawful to type and worse to read, let alone remember, you wouldn’t want these addresses in full decimal notation…
