If an exchange tries to squeeze it's participants they can just do a PNI or create their own. An exchange in it's simplest form is just a switch after all.

This auto configuration mechanism is called stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC) so "Your OS disable IPv6 SLAAC" or something like that in your favorite search engine should give you the answer. After that you should be able to manually configure your address and gateway like you would for v4. If your prefix is dynamic it gets a bit ugly then you have to use link local addresses and something like NPTv6 or NAT66 on the gateway. A better alternative IMHO would be to use different VLANs for the two networks but then your switch and possibly access point have to support it.

>Please provide me the level of documentation you are looking for, but for an IPv4 network.

Could help to get an idea what you see as "hobbyist level". Setting up IPv6 has been pretty straight forward on plain Ubuntu as a router just with replacing the dhcpd subnet configs with a radvd config, enable ipv6 forwarding in addition to ipv4 forwarding and replace the iptables NAT rule with a only forward RELATED,ESTABLISHED connections (which already is optional).

There are millions of people using IPv6 without knowing it. The ISP has everything preconfigured and if you use a third party router it's normaly one or two options to set. And it just works like for IPv4.

I don't think that exists and I can't imagine how a IPv6 translation layer with internally IPv4 addresses should work. What exactly do you want to do?

Going IPv6 only is a pain for sure but why not do dual stack and upgrade one by one and get comfortable with it first?

True but the "state owned ISP" in Switzerland only has XGS-PON hardware. So Init7 could only provide 25Gbit/s in the parts of the network thats not PON.

IPv6 is backwards compatible to IPv4 but not the other way around. If you have a solution how to address a 128bit IPv6 address with the 32bits available on v4 I'm sure many people are eager to talk to you. It's just not possible.

It's not PON thats why they are able to provide 25 Gbit/s. And they choose 25 Gbit/s because the switches for it where only slightly more expensive than the 10 Gbit/s version would have been. They did a talk about it some time ago.

There are some services that have a different resource record in DNS like email (MX) or use SRV records like XMPP but else yes you are forced to either use a different hostname (like www. and ftp. and mail.) or do it port based with NAT like you used to.

Why is it so painful for you? As someone that has been running everything dualstack for over a decade I'm seriously interested where people are struggling with it.

The only pain I've ever seen is in corporate networks where all the tooling around the network management are IPv4 only but those would break even if you add a single bit to an IPv4 address.

IPv6 is compatible with IPv4 there are millions of devices with only an IPv6 address that work just fine.

I live near it and there is also a data center just next to the cryo facility [0] that was built around the same time. I sometimes jokingly say they are related and are training an AI with the frozen people.

Some enterprise software I guess? I have native IPv6 since 2010 and can't remember a single software that crashed because of it.

You can also do recurring donations. Running a Snowflake proxy is basically free if you don't pay for internet traffic so it's a very cheap and low work way to help censored people.

How do you "find" them? You can just download the list with all exit node IPs.

hn has two servers at m5hosting which according to their FAQ [0] "IPv6 support is currently available for Dedicated Servers or Colocation." so you ask support, they assign you a prefix and you add a few IPs from that prefix. done. My guess is their anti spam or something else in the software expects an IPv4.

There is also a standalone (go) version [0] that can be deployed on a server. "one of the main advantages of standalone Snowflake proxies is that they can be installed on servers and offer a higher bandwidth and more reliable option for users behind restrictive NATs and firewalls."

No only if you explicitely enable it in the config file.

>I'd expect us all to be dead almost instantly

Not an expert at all but from what I've read you'd expect wrong. Even if they could create a black hole out of the Matterhorn it would be so small, less than a hydrogen atom, that it doesn't interact much with anything.

"Even though a microscopic black hole might contain the mass of a mountain, it would experience almost no friction as it passed through regular matter. It would fall through regular material as if it wasn’t there." [0]

So the worst thing would be the missing Matterhorn which pretty sure would upset the Swiss.

A less controversal site, at least on hn, may be wikileaks https://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2010/12/07/visa-m...

Whenever I read something like this I look my access and sshd logs for abuse IPs and check if they are Tor exit nodes. The Tor traffic is always negligible like 100 failed ssh logins out of 170k are from Tor exit nodes. Or 670 out of 400k for my nginx access.log. Am I unique and everyone else sees vastly different numbers where blocking Tor exits makes a significant difference in the abuse they get?

The negative health effects of PFAS are completely irrelevant if the alternative to this "bad blood" is death.

The people that received your blood have most likely "destroyed" alot of their own which most likely also contained PFAS thats why they need yours. No need to deliberately throw away perfectly good blood.

>There's some research out of Australia indicating blood donation is effective at removing it from the body.

Great. Another reason to regularly donate blood. And you don't even have to pay 399$!

This "list" thing sounds like FUD when you read articles with a titel like "U.S. Intelligence Has Amassed 'Sensitive and Intimate' Data on 'Nearly Everyone'" https://gizmodo.com/u-s-intelligence-admits-it-hoards-data-o...

50$ for unmetered 1Gbps is 0.000147964$ per Gigabyte. AWS charges like 0.02$ per Gigabyte or 6758$ per Gbps. Somehow people think the later is justified while the first is the biggest ripp off. Can somebody explain this to me?

When did you last try Tor? The DDoS [0] has ended and it's now pretty fast again. I'm watching a 4k youtube video over Tor right now. Also the next version implements traffic splitting [1] which should improve performance even more.

It doesn't there are millions of IPv6 only devices that can connect to IPv4 only sites. See US mobile carriers.

An IPv4 address on the wire is just a 32 Bit integer in big endian. The quad-dotted notation is the most common for IPv4 but you could also use hex or decimal. There was an article on HN just recently about that. I can't find it right now but try ping 0x7F000001 to get an idea. You don't even need a new protocol you could implement something like what three words or your 999.999.999 naming scheme locally and use it on the internet right now! No need to replace any routers or have anyone else upgrade.
