Ironically "IPv8" has WAY less addresses than IPv6. It really sucks that IPv6 adoption has been such a disaster. I would've loved if there was some magic solution that expanded the address space while keeping the same infrastructure but I guess we'll be dealing with NATs for a long while still

The fact that ipv6 was basically in the process of being rolled out until some IT guy in Chicago or whatever came up with NAT hardware is one of those moments changed history forever. That guy with his little box managed to lock us into ipv4 at just the right time that it's going to be basically impossible to switch now.
