The cherry on top of the public relations disaster that the introduction of Perl6 has been...
Three years ago all groups were supposed to have converted completely to IPv6 by the end of the year. Never happened.
Back then the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses was "any day now". I guess someone must have found a closet with a bunch more of them somewhere.
I think for us operations types IPv6 is still too complicated. I mean when someone says "hey, what's the IP of that web server?", saying "192.168.13.129" is easy. You can even memorize an address like that. "fe80::2bdd:d4c5:f093:300a", not so much.
Besides the IPv4 address exhaustion problem I don't think anyone has made a compelling argument for IPv6 yet. At least not on the ground.
To use the calculator metaphor it would like saying: "enter 75345 + 3455 / 4, there's your taxes!"
Hey, I can teach you the theory of relativity in 30 seconds: type this "e=mc2".
I just need a place to store my damn bookmarks. I don't need to share them with anyone, or see what anyone else has shared. There are enough sources for interesting content. And there are enough places to share things and have ego boosting "followers".
I'm just sad to see another useful service get bitten by the "social media" bug. Don't we have enough of those?
Crusty old fool here, I guess.
So much so that I had to dig out my old noise cancelling, over the ear things. Now I can't hear anything else, but hey! :-)
