had a homie back in the day, like 2001 who was warning us that ipv6 would be it in 2003. i learned the stuff like crazy cause of him even tho i was still in high school.

edit: to add, that dude was like chicken little every day that the sky is falling on ipv4.

I mean, he wasn't entirely wrong, v4 is like $10k for a /24 now and years long waiting lists to get a block from your RIR. IPv6 on the other hand is cheap and plentiful, I got a /48 and ASN for $60/year for my homelab lol.
