IPv4.
IPv6 became a recognized standard by 1998.
EDIT: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=ipv6-adoption
Nearly 30 years later, and less than half of the connections to Google are via IPv6.
Fucking NAT. Never should have been allowed to escape from the lab.
Lolol, you're not wrong. NAT made IPv6 a later problem
I ❤️ IPv4
There's no place like 127.0.0.1
There's no place like
::1I can't understand that gibberish, speak RFC 791 like a true patriot
I'm almost at the point where all of my connections are IPv6, but still hampered by my mobile provider (ironically, since IPv6 was generally adopted earlier on mobile in many countries).
Based on how ISPs seem to not get their CGNAT setups right, it's not going away any time soon.
IPv6 is such an ugly monster.
As a South African, I have never even seen IPv6. My university has two /16 blocks and no NATing
