according to google we briefly passed 50% last month. sadly thats probably just due to selection bias/fluctuating samples. still we're getting there i think

given this data it is FUCKING RIDICULOUS that of that 50% of isps, the vast majority dont even have a transition mechanism like 6to4 in place to allow their customers to reach ipv6-only servers (something that would very likely become much more common once such a mechanism is in place). what the fucketh

@coolbean ipv6 addresses are just plentiful and not worth a lot. We're too used to ip addresses being a valuable limited resource for no good reason

@snacks you could feasibly host a 6to4 setup for our ipv4bros (though not really cause that ones supposed to be on 2002::)

@coolbean @snacks An ISP gets an /8.

A /48 is a pretty big host with lots of subnets (but on a lot of routers, it uses less memory to assign /48's instead of /56's).

A single /64 isn't enough if you have more than one subnet, as well the minimum subnet size in IPv6 should be /64 for ease of use.

@Mamako @coolbean @snacks It's located in my back yard - you just need to dig some GNU/Terror tunnels to my back yard and run some fibre and I'll hook you up.
