False meme image that says “bad news ipv4 fans. linus torvalds has announced removing ipv4 support from the linux kernel after the maintainers of the network stack got into a fight over WHAT KIND OF HRT gives the best results. this incident will impact 5 billion people and will make 95% of all network equipment on Earth binnable.” with fake screenshots of the linux kernel mailing list a girl calling another one a slur from 4chan over HRT choices and Linus Torvalds saying he will drop IPv4 support and asking the maintainers to learn to shut the fuck up.
Can we just treat this as real? Post it everywhere. You know in a sort of “alternative facts” / flat earth sort of way. So maybe the planet finally moves on from ipv4.
Good news is that Google is reporting that >40% of their traffic is IPv6:

Should crack 50% soon. It’s been a long time coming.
I have a feeling, a lot of people willing to move to Linux are already open to trying out IPv6 when they get the time.
Pity my old router only bridges IPv4 and only does IPv6 with NAT (or maybe I just couldn’t understand the interface).
