Today I disabled IPv6 on my home router entirely. There are (sadly) too many devices and services with obscure bugs when it's enabled, and I'm tired of playing whack-a-mole sysadmin just to keep a full IPv6 stack.

I'm not sure we'll ever see full IPv6 adoption.

@chris_kratovil Store hours are creeping back up but are sadly far behind where they were. Wages are too high for long hours to be profitable now.

@NoahGairn Yeah well the infrastructure and personnel needed to support this gets us a long way to 5% of GDP. A decade to get it fully operational.

"According to several sources, the Canadian government is still considering a major fleet of F-35s, consisting of 72 to 88 aircraft, even as Canada moves forward with its Gripen project."

"Sources within both the government and the private sector say Ottawa is considering purchasing 72 Gripen aircraft"

"'There could easily be a fleet of 140 aircraft', says a source familiar with the ongoing discussions."

That makes a heck of a lot more sense than the 30/60 split mentioned in La Presse's article earlier this week.

@monsturmun It is still in the best interests of Canada to expand this airport. Suck it up.
