Shit is that my computer's rear end? I haven't looked in there for years! There could be intelligent rats back there pretending to be AI.

wouldn't surprise me if we end up in a situation where individual programs have their own IP. then individual variables, so different programs in different networks can access them.
that might actually end up consuming all the addresses
...stupid suggestion. just saying that future technologies might figure up a way to fuck this up again
There's enough V6 addresses for every atom on the planet and enough spare to do it 100x over. We'll be fine.

Yeah, the Universe keep making bigger fools (of us all). But, we should still use IPv6 instead of clawing the tattered remains of IPv4. I just wish my ISP agreed.
without a doubt ipv6 is an improvement. only loss is that it's humanely possible to remember ipv4 addressed, but that ain't necessary.
my only "objection" is that an actual solution should accommodate unlimited growth, rather than what we consider a big enough number.

going to gave each atom in the solar system its own IP address.

Definitely not mine. It's way too clean.

I think that's a bad objection. It's idealistic in the worst way, it's making "Perfect [...] the enemy of the good". Plus, there are significant practical advantages to a fixed-length addressing scheme, and any fixed-length going to have a maximum. So, under the constraint of fixed-length addressing "big enough" is all we have.
128 bits really is quite hard to fill up, we'll have to worry about a lot of very different things before the run out of addresses. Like speed-of-light latency vs. TCP (and possibly TLS session) timers for interplanetary connections.
-
OK, bad examples. On the other hand e.g. X, GitHub, Pornhub, PSN, Steam or Discord do not support IPv6.
Really discord. Didint discord start existing when ipv6 was becoming more and more normalised unlike the rest of those examples.
-
fair, but isn't IPv6 just going with the same assumption as IPv4, "so many addresses, no way we will ever use them all"
They didn't read xkcd 865, I guess. Or maybe they did.

there's always a relevant XKCD

Not exactly what you’re looking for but this came across my radar recently https://store.steampowered.com/app/2939600/Tower_Networking_Inc/
I now have several hours in this game. If you enjoy setting up networks and working with the equipment, this is a great simulation for it still being a super early version. And if you’re wanting to test the waters, a great way to test if it might be your thing.
Side note: Not for the OCD-inclined.
