So at some point the standard for IPv6 address assignment seems to have changed so that it changes randomly, eliminating the primary purpose of IP addresses, so IPv6 has been rendered useless.
It's like we're so used to technical shortcomings of IPv4 being treated as security features, that we've effectively disabled IPv6, despite the problem of IPv4 address space exhaustion.
Why does absofuckinglutely everything have to get worse?
@foolishowl I'm curious, what's your basis for this observation?
@varx I was partly overreacting to changed defaults in NetworkManager that I found out how to change. But more broadly I've been surprised how little support I see for IPv6, either in business or personal contexts. Everything still assumes IPv4 by default if it supports IPv6 at all, and NAT seems to be understood as a security tool, not a hack originally meant to work around ISPs trying to allow one node on an account
@foolishowl Oh yeah, it's definitely disappointing, particularly the NAT situation.
