TL;DR I once built a joke website asking whether Odido had IPv6 yet. Their lawyers sent me a letter. Now I’m switching to Odido. They still don’t have IPv6. So I’m bringing my own.

The setup, and the irony

In 2024 I registered heeftodidoalipv6.nl — ‘does Odido have IPv6 yet?’ — which answered, in big friendly letters, no. I got a letter from a law firm in Amsterdam for my trouble.

The internet, it’s a series of tubes! Right? It’s a bunch of magic that you pay a company you don’t respect very much to handle.

Most of you know that what we call ’the internet’ is just a ‘bunch’ of networks connected to eachother. Your ISP has a connection with Google, and that’s how you can search and watch YouTube. It also has a connection to Amazon, Apple, and.. even the network that this website is hosted on.
