Ipv6 requires fundamental rethinking about how addressing is done. If you're trying to apply v4 concepts to V6 you likely end up running into something they intentionally designed out.

A unique local address is an address space where you could do that. It's the equivalent to RFC1918 eg. 172/192/10. So you could statically assign fd0::x, and that is expected, but not required generally.

I wouldn't give each device a static unique global address unless they need to be accessed via wan without domain consistently. You lose device privacy really quickly that way because every device gets a unique globally routable address. It's fine for internet facing services but most Linux, Windows, and mobile implementations are using ipv6 privacy extensions by default to ensure you get a random GUA every day.

My network is dual stack and I connect mostly over ipv6 to all my internal clients using internal DNS. If my internal DNS is ever down I can fall back to ipv4 or it's basically the one box on my network with an easy to remember ULA.

I used this particular rack for almost 20 years. It's okay.

It's a bit cramped in it's design. It was never easy to undo anything because it snags on everything.

I switched to a design like the one in the pic but angled outwards and it's just been a bit nicer.

Yeah, that's basically right. With an opening line like mine (a formula), we're basically dealing in typical reddit/lemmy pedanticism.

I (somewhat ironically now) specifically chose the words MFA over 2fa when saying "mfa-1" as to be most encompassing from the get go because yes:

  • the truest definition of MFA is =>2
  • there are cases where the factors are multiple things you have and/or are (like private keys and pass keys, and biometrics)

i do agree the 1st factor in a situation where its multiple factors is generally and common practice to be something you know.

MFA is not necessarily only 2 factors and single factor is not necessarily a password.

Your mfa is now mfa-1

I agree with you but I think mastadon has bigger shoes to fill.

Businesses looked at Twitter as a reliable way to communicate with a broad audience. To the point that even police services thought it was good enough.

Mastadon, if it wants to be seen as a replacement needs to be high reliability.

I don't think Lemmy has that expectation. Like there is a user in these comments complaining that we didn't get notice of down time and I'm kinda wondering why he would want that let alone expect it. As you say it's recreation and so I don't need that high level of reliability.

Hmmm. So you're eating low quality bacon and saying it tastes low quality.

Alright.

Globally it's at about 47% and growing at about 4% per year. If the rate remains unchanged it'll be about a decade for >95%.

But the reality of it is, you don't need global adoption out of the box. You just need majority adoption in the countries you visit, which for me are western countries (north America and Europe) which now have a majority adoption.

Most of China can't reach Google so the reporting is off anyway. But in 2023 the govt mandated ipv6 support to all carriers and manufacturers.
