this weird , scary

 

i've been hearing "two years of ip addresses left" close ten years now. i'm relatively confident not have run out in 500 days' time.

however, i've seen lots of articles saying "you need move ipv6", none of them seem explain how such thing. first page of google results "how move ipv6" consists of articles saying "hurry , move" no actual information on how such thing.

information i've pieced together, need wait isp offer ipv6 support before doing else. correct?
