Whenever I think so much, I happen to either need for stimming or doing strange stuff physically. I can't think very hard on topics in front of others as it might seem bad in terms of social dynamics, then I prefer alone places like bathrooms, kitchens, etc.
What do you think? What would you do in simliar moments?
Background:
Living in the most problematic country in middle east (you guessed it, Iran), government completely hate Internet and we have the best GFW/DPI and censorship systems making hundreds of thousands of problems. I didn't touch IPv6 in reality even now, almost everything here is going on with IPv4. I only remember one ISP is/was providing it while fighting with the bad parts of government. Though it wasn't native dual-stack and it had major issues.
Add that when you live where DNS is nuked, you remember and use IP databases to configure and understand the network architecture. Domains don't do anything for you as no single public DNS is easily accessible. You always read and remember and write IP addresses everywhere, from routers to computers to faulty DHCP, etc.
The good:
IPv6 solves a ton of problems with already had with old 80s IPv4 which wasn't supposed to go this large. It's running with tapes and workaround like NAT, DHCP and others which casues a lot of frustration to network admins, ISPs and technical users.
It uses new hardly engineered stuff like 128-bit address space written with hexadecimals, SLAAC, ICMPv6, NAT64, DNS64 and a lot of other things.
The bad:
I feel pretty dumb around it. It's the thing most people say to turn off when you encounter network problems. I feel frustrated of don't understanding the :::: and hexadecimal addresses.
The ugly (my problem):
I always had headaches around IPv6, I'm not lazy nor dumb, but I still feel stuck in the way of learning or doing things using IPv6. I love "learn by doing" and learn while working with things and getting problems around them which forcing me to learn the reason to solve the problem I crossed. I can't still think I know IPv6 even though I tried to read and learn RFCs, YouTube videos, manuals, blogs and etc. I feel stuck behind legacy but easy to remember and calculate IPv4, easily guess the subnet by looking and feel pretty hard to get to the inside of IPv6.
How did you overcome these feelings? Is it only me or widespread and true IPv6 support everywhere hasn't come yet in 2026? How can I learn IPv6 correctly and face my fears? Do you recommend any website, any online lab, any web-based game or any specific YouTube videos to follow along?
