Most of the time — your IPv6 network isn’t ready. Gah. I feel like I have to debug thread pairing every time I get a new device... I definitely haven't checked my router settings though...

In fact, I deplored that its rollout, which should have been swift and forceful, never truly happened in earnest. But that was before corporate surveillance. Now I always downgrade to IPv4, not out of technical necessity, but out of a sense of self-preservation. Although I'm very well aware that corporate surveillance doesn't rely solely on tracking IPs anymore. But there's no sense in giving the sumbitches an easy way to track you when you don't have to. permalink fedilink source parent
