After Asia and Europe, North America is next in line to run out of IP addresses.
We’ve got to get this transition to IPv6 right over the next few years or we’re going to wreck the Internet as we know it today.

Today, I can proudly announce that my website is IPv6 ready!

While I am happy that I found the feature on the configuration page of my hosting provider 1&1, I am still unhappy with the fact that my ISP (the same 1&1), which claims to be one of the biggest ISPs in Europe (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%261_Internet) can not yet provide me with an IPv6 routing. This means, while my blog is reachable from the IPv6 Internet, I still can not reach any IPv6 websites. Hopefully this will follow, soon. I’m in touch with their support staff and will post follow-ups here.
Update May 22, 2013:
I’ve been in touch with support staff at my ISP and worked on enabling an IPv6 tunnel using the tunnelbroker from Hurricane Electric. As mentioned in my previous post, I got IPv6 enabled on my blog a few weeks ago by flipping a switch in the config at my ISP. Now finally my insistence with my ISP was successful so that I have now both IPv4 and IPv6 working from home. 🙂

What do you think? Should there be a “right to be forgotten”?
While this may sound right if you think of pranks done by teenagers who don’t want to be reminded of them when they apply for a job years later, would this “forgetting” also apply to crimes, human rights abuses etc?
Perhaps a “fading into history” function would be preferable, allowing for past activities to no longer show up in the usual search results, but giving researchers and reporters access to the past.
