bzb3··on More than 1/3 of all access to Google is now over IPv6
That's not necessarily a problem with nat; anybody with basic networking knowledge can tell you that packets that move through v4 and V6 do not have to follow the same routes. Since there are more users using v4 than V6 it's common for v4 routes to be congested while V6 routes are not.

That's scaremongering and simply false. Cgnat servers are not necessarily congested. I've been to several isps with cgnat and none of them suffered from congestion.

bzb3··on Windows 10: HOSTS file blocking telemetry is now flagged as a risk
It was chest-thumping. Mark basically moved the goalposts so he could claim victory. The future he had originally envisioned will never come to fruition.
