You don’t understand it then. In V8 every IPv4 address is a valid address, that means you can have IPv4 and IPv8 on same IPv8-lan and first class support for translation into the protocol instead of an array of hacks is a miles better solution than the pile of rubbish that v6 is. In fact, IPv6 isn’t even a new version of IPv4, it is a different protocol entirely and a rubbish one.

And even the charitable reading is not a good indicator. There is reason things are getting pulled out of kernel and more and more userland services are used, it is because we have finally come to terms that secure software is hard and better hack as little of it trusted with the whole system as possible.

“inherently globally accessible” means basically addressable.

I “inherently” reachable. You can play semantics but the point stands.

> From a security standpoint, it doesn't matter if the IP get translated inbetween. Only the ingress firewall counts

This is complete nonsense. Security is about layers and risk mitigation. You know what is better than firewall rules that can be misconfigured or overridden due to conflict or interface name changes and so on? An IP that can be addressed from global space. Wild!

From their website about their product:

> Hardware does the heavy lifting.

> Your operating system and network card take over the repetitive jobs whenever they can. Your CPU gets room to breathe, and your battery stays full longer.

Where does this operating system run? Where does the power come from to run it if not battery?

Pure rubbish ai slop.

While the software might actually be ok upon inspection but this kind of ai slop nonsense copy doesn’t inspire confidence in using their software considering how security critical the vpn is.

Addressable means routable. Otherwise the distinction between a Public and Private address becomes one of firewall rules rather than a meaningful property of the IP Address.

And as you say, hole punching is still “PUBLIC IP” + port. Not an IP and any port you fancy unless the firewall was configured correctly.

Maybe I am wrong, maybe you’re confused, maybe IPv6 is just rubbish. Maybe all 3.

Do you ever wonder if most people don’t “see the facts” and after almost 3 decades and so much the adoption at 50% might mean to consider if the technology is just rubbish?

A random ip address that is globally reachable?

But IPv6 is complex and inherently globally accessible. Yes, NAT IS not supposed to be a firewall but it works like one nonetheless in many cases.

IPv6 will never replace IPv4 because it is a different protocol rather than merely a new version. The name is a lie.

Delivery is a luxury service until:

- you have school kids and a full time

- a medical condition

- work 2 jobs because economy is fucked.

- can’t drive of old age.

And a million other reasons. In old times with a working community, delivery was a luxury, in “modern” days, it is often a necessity for lack of alternatives.

When was the last time you offered the old people down the road if they need help?

Why put up with quirks when you have something that works for you? How much faster ghostty is in practical terms?

ACME is in the core.

And modern features means long term rot if not modularised.

If you think the idea of buying Fable like model is hard, you should really try some of the latest open models like Qwen 3.8. They’re getting there very fast.
