Hey man, it's got nothing to do with them being heavier, it IS about how that weight is distributed differently. You've mispoken and now everyone is latched on to something that isn't true about something that is true.

EV tires are made from different compounds then truck and car tires which causes them to wear ~20% faster.

• EVs have instant torque delivery, which can put more strain on the tires during acceleration. Therefore, they need EV tires that can handle the increased force and extra weight.

• Electric vehicles have heavy battery packs, affecting the overall weight distribution. This can impact tire wear, so EV tires are designed to carry and distribute the extra weight effectively.

• EV tires are engineered to have lower rolling resistance. These tires reduce the energy required to move the vehicle, resulting in better range and longer battery life.

• Most EVs use regenerative braking systems, which recover energy during braking. EV tires offer better traction and grip, enhancing the effectiveness of regenerative braking.

• Electric vehicles are generally quieter than traditional ICE vehicles. To complement this characteristic, EV tires are built to reduce road noise and vibrations, providing a quieter and more comfortable ride

Ipv6 requires fundamental rethinking about how addressing is done. If you're trying to apply v4 concepts to V6 you likely end up running into something they intentionally designed out.

A unique local address is an address space where you could do that. It's the equivalent to RFC1918 eg. 172/192/10.
So you could statically assign fd0::x, and that is expected, but not required generally.

I wouldn't give each device a static unique global address unless they need to be accessed via wan without domain consistently. You lose device privacy really quickly that way because every device gets a unique globally routable address. It's fine for internet facing services but most Linux, Windows, and mobile implementations are using ipv6 privacy extensions by default to ensure you get a random GUA every day.

My network is dual stack and I connect mostly over ipv6 to all my internal clients using internal DNS. If my internal DNS is ever down I can fall back to ipv4 or it's basically the one box on my network with an easy to remember ULA.

It's honestly super simple to set up. Outside of your ISP config it's almost all autoconfig. 100% of the complication (at least for me) comes from knowing ipv4 first for 20 years and then trying to incorrectly map those concepts to V6.

As soon as I "let go" it was fine.

There's not a huge net benefit you're right. I mostly wanted to learn and I hope to be at the front edge of disabling ipv4 in the near distant future.

Yeah dropping Nat is the biggest net benefit I agree but I think the avg person won't really find that much value in it when Nat works ok

Honestly this isn't even true anymore. Most major ISPs have implemented dual stack now. The customer doesn't know or care because it's done at the CPE for them.

I use a browser extension which tells me if the site I'm at is 6 or 4 or mixed. In 2024 most major sites support V6. A lot of this is due to CDN supporting it natively.

The fact that GitHub doesn't is quickly becoming the exception.

Most of China can't reach Google so the reporting is off anyway.
But in 2023 the govt mandated ipv6 support to all carriers and manufacturers.

Globally it's at about 47% and growing at about 4% per year. If the rate remains unchanged it'll be about a decade for >95%.

But the reality of it is, you don't need global adoption out of the box. You just need majority adoption in the countries you visit, which for me are western countries (north America and Europe) which now have a majority adoption.

That's basically what therapy is. The lack of vitamin is the damage you received in your childhood that you just thought was normal.

Then you actually recount the experience to a therapist and they tell you how not normal that is and help you to recognize the fact that you had to go through that without support and that the way you are is because you had to cope to support yourself to survive when no one else was there for you.

Once you know it then you can tell all your friends and get them to awe at your seemingly inhuman perseverance.

Not a superpower, agreed.

I've found many shared experiences when I thought my experience was unique. Sharing my personal traumas with people in my life has both helped them to understand me as well as sometimes help them also. In the same ways I have felt alone I have helped other to realize they are not alone and often that can be the first step to them getting real help.

I never had any trauma

It's hard to know this by yourself. I'm assuming you've been through the process but I wouldn't want others to assume they could self-assess this at all - it's not possible.

and I feel like it's too over-prescribed instead of drugs that fix the issue.

I think generally the sentiment is that america over-relies on drugs to fix mental health problems. But I can understand that if you have a chemical imbalance or need drugs that it would seem like there are a lot of hoops to jump through before you get there.

I do advocate for therapy to others.

Unless you can physically separate the heat from the server.... This is a bad idea. There's a reason servers don't sit in hot humid areas.

We live in a society that teaches us to value others based on their ability to work. So naturally people think homeless are humans with less value then themselves.

Once you've been taught you're better then others really it's really all downhill from there.

It's not oil per say but you will get glycerin fogging up your windows over the course of many months.

Propylene glycol (PG) is completely miscible with water, meaning it can dissolve in water.
