IPv6

IPv6. We should all be switched over to it already. We need to stop dragging our feet, and get those guys with the deep pockets in those ISPs (that are ripping us off and screwing us over so badly) to push us out of our current crisis (running out of v4 addresses, and long since out of v4 usefulness).

There are tons of people using it right now, with much success. My wife even uses it, and has no idea, because I’ve got it over our whole network through a tunnel.

Anyone on DreamHost should vote for this suggestion: https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=home.sugg&category=_all&search=Implement%20IPv6

Speaking of, today I switched from Freenet6 (now gogoNET) to Hurricane Electric (HE). Originally, I had shied away from all the manual configuration of HE, but after having many issues with the gateway6 autoconfiguration client, I decided to finally switch over, and it seems to be working MUCH better, and HE gives me more control over my netblock to boot. Very pleased. :)

    DreamHost finally supports IPv6 natively. Awesome. Most of my sites now have their own IPv6 address. :)
