I’m trying to be progressive, but after thinking outside of my little network and reading the posts here, it seems like there’s still a long way to go before I should consider it. I don’t have a split network at home and it would potentially affect everyone in the house. Additionally, I don’t have serious needs for production-grade network equipment, so the chancs of that cheap usb-to-ethernet adapter with more Chinese characters than English in the instruction sheet has a high probability of biting me.
This was sort of a wild hare thought of disabling IPv4 vs disabling IPv6 to solve a problem that’s more of an inconvenience. I am probably not ready for this undertaking. Maybe I’ll revisit it when I get around to partitioning my network.
