[–] zouden@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) I've still never used ipv6. It just never offered anything I needed. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Giooschi@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) If you live in the USA you don't suffer from the problem it solves because you have ~5 IP v4 addresses per capita (totaling to 41% of all the IP v4 addresses), and likewise many european countries have ~2 per capita (although there are expeptions like Italy and Spain which are a bit under 1 per capita). However many other countries don't have such luxury, for example in india there's one for every 36 people, which is obviously not enough and thus they have to either use NAT everywhere or switch to IPv6. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EatMyDick@lemmy.world -2 points 3 years ago Have you tried being less poor? permalink fedilink source parent [–] IceMan@lemmy.one 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) Same. I’m hearing it’s a must-have for like 15 years now. It still obviously isn’t a real must-have. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 0 points 3 years ago* (1 child) This is because ISPs keep piling on workaround after workaround in order to scale their use of IPv4, which is working but not without some disadvantages. Also, like other commenters mentioned, the western world have an unfair advantage in IPv4 addresses allocation and thus people living there don't really see any meaningful shortage of IPv4. People in other countries don't have this luxury and have to rely on IPv6 and shitty CGNAT in order to stay online. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] ImpossibleRubiksCube@programming.dev -1 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
