PixieFail is a huge deal for cloud and data centers. For the rest, less so.

    Not only that, but ipv6 makes networking easier and less complicated. No longer, needing port forwarding or NAT, amongst other improvements

      It’s that necessarily a good thing?

      I remember suddenly needing a firewall on my PC back in the days of the Blaster worm.

      Do we really want all those crappy IoT devices open on all ports to the general internet?

      I’d be fucked if I had to deal with IPv6 at home. Give me NAT, port forwarding and a dynamic public address that changes.

        Slaac does everything for you. You get dynamic public addresses that change (you can disable if you please). Nothing to deal with, just open a firewall port if you want to receive traffic
