KVMs usually jump from 2 inputs to 4. Ones that do 4 inputs and 4 monitors exist but you’re entering “enquire for price” territory.

Why do you need so many laptops/screens?

lol kinda, it was a real office with 3 staff: CEO, CFO, and assistant. I was weirded out seeing all three were ~20 years old. He said I could make my own subsidiary and be my own CEO one day. I asked for the parent company name and did a quick Google when he stepped out of the room for a second. Not only saw the MLM stuff but also a culture of employee abuse and hazing in the subsidiaries. I just walked out at that point.

“So it’s like a pyramid, but upside down”

• MLM I interviewed for.

I used to do the same. But some clients nowadays have IPv6 only nodes that I need to connect to, so I’ve had to enable v6.

With AWS now charging for v4 addresses, the need to at least running dual stack might pick up.

IPv6 isn’t just larger addresses, it was meant to totally remove the need for layer 2 / MAC addresses, bus networks, DHCP, and broadcasts. Since the plan was to get rid of the 12 byte ethernet header, the 24 byte increase in IP addresses would only be a 12 byte increase in header at the end of the day. WiFi wouldn’t need three MAC addresses in every packet. IPv6 only achieves it’s true potential with a complete switch over.

I personally don’t think that can ever happen. The opportunity to switch everyone over is absolutely long gone. IPv6 isn’t an extension of v4 or a compatible replacement, like ASCII to UTF-8. It’s more like X to Wayland. The protocol authors went “This is a mess we gotta rethink this from scratch”. But there’s so much already relying on the old protocol, and replacing it with something that doesn’t perfectly match features is difficult for little reward for users.

The increase in IPv6 nodes has mostly been due to mobile networks. The tragedy is they actually still mostly use layer 2 and bridge networking. IPv4 nor v6 can handle maintaining connections while addresses change. So they set it up so that you keep the same IP address as you travel and move between different towers. This is done with massive virtual layer 2 LANs across towers, with the IP routing happening at a central datacentre. IPv6 is simply used for the larger addresses, and none of the network/protocol simplifications it promised can be used.

What’s this about?

I’ve dabbled in a couple recently, xTTS v2 in Coqui sounds pretty good and is pretty quick. Especially if you use one of the built in voices. Has a weird “only for non commercial use” licence if that bothers you.
