    I’ve been doing IPv4 networking for decades, and recently decided to take plunge and update all my gear and systems to IPv6.

    So far, it’s a train wreck.

    20 years in, and none of the major platforms support IPv6 in a consistent way (DHCP6 vs. SLAAC, anyone?), there is little to no analytical or diagnostic tooling, no (working) walkthroughs of equivalencies to standard IPv4 practices, little security clarity, …

    This IPv6 debacle is a self-own of major proportions.
