Really bullshit ISP indeed.

Checklist for Migrating to HTTPS:
It’s like making a .txt document with tables and ASCII art and then on my God other text editors use different fonts and the look breaks. Only the most popular, Windows Notepad is supported.
Web was supposed to be bulletproof, easy to archive and implement. If a webpage break because a browser is supporting 99% of super bloated web standards instead of 99.5% of Chrome, there is clearly something wrong.
My rule of thumb is, try to randomly remove some HTML tags and CSS declarations. If whole site break and is unusable because of one/two lines missing, this website is a hack exploiting browser monoculture.
Linux what?
Ah, Linux.
Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux.
Step 1: Write a website in pure HTML, can be converted or builded from something like Markdown
Step 2: Style it a little with CSS, as a layer on top, without touching HTML
Step 3: Profit.
Even better, if that’s not something available from outside, to just enable mDNS.
You can subnet it with the exact same rulea as IPv4, nothing is chaning there.
Replace, for example, 192.168. with fd01::, with digits after this being divided however you like. You might step upon a too basic router that has it’s own way to assign addresses with no way to change it, but that would not be IPv6 fault.
You’ll still pay, just not have an option not to pay.
Meanwhile me who needs to pay 97 EUR / year for two V4 to V6 proxies so people not having (or disabling, ugh) V6 can connect to my stuff.
Actually those proxies are still cheaper than renting v4 address space for all my servers.
This. And also disable https. Those things just break all the time.
By disabling both v4 and v6 you can fix 100% of the problems.
Those are just the same networking concepts as v4. Just 128 bits instead of 32. The hard thing can be ULA or SLAAC, which are like “yeah, just some random address to not get conflicts” and “yeah, first half your ISP gives you, second is taken from MAC address”.
We even get rid of a bunch loaded crap that holepunching v4 and making it work developed through years.
Maybe it seems hard, because what was used before was not really learned how it works but just relied on hacks.
that’s our ISPs’ problem
If the Internet means for you a way to access Facebook, Netflix, Google and YouTube, yeah.
But if it means a network to send something to another computer then it’s a huge problem.
Because ISP won’t care if you can accept connections or not. They don’t care about decentralization and being able to host stuff yourself. Most consumers just want a pipe to big services and not to their friend’s house.
Who needs an IP address anymore? What year is it? You want to connect to your friend’s computer and exchange some information via computer system, seriously? Just use Cloudflare, Google or Azure and route everything through them.
Imagine getting out of phone numbers, so the solutions is for everyone to call the last remaining people with public/routable numbers 24/7 so those people would redirect messages to others.
With Internet, users does not see that easly, but if you host anything for others it’s getting harder and harder to accept incoming connections without many layers of hacks to bypass hacks that ISPs do to keep IPv4 network working.
Since I bought a domain name I do not remember IP addresses. Just like I don’t remember password since I installed password manager or not remember phone numbers since I have a smartphone.
It’s only annoying when being on someone’s else computer without my clipboard sharing setup and need to copy an address by hand. But that’s an issue when setting something up. I would take this inconvenience while setting up than all everyday inconveniences that IPv4 created in last years.
I never got into vertical video, not my type of thing.
But if something like that is a way for someone to reduce stress or do anything in a bored moment, then why not.
I won’t be very original, but first thing that came to my mind is Fight Club.
But actually, it is best to watch the second time, once you know what is happening, but I want to experience this plot twist one more time. If someone didn’t watch it already, please so not spoiler it to yourself.
I pay yearly more for IPv4 address space for virtual machines on my dedicated server than for that dedicated server itself _(ツ)_/.
Let that thing die.
Monthly summary:
54.40€ - 30 IPv4 addresses
0.00€ - 18 quintillion IPv6 addresses
38.39€ - whole server for dozens of services
