TL;DR (lawyers hired by) Odido is threatening to sue me over a joke.

Introduction and background

At the beginning of 2024, I launched a new website: heeftodidoalipv6.nl (translated: ‘does odido have ipv6 already?’).

The website would display a big fat ‘Nee, Helaas! (No, unfortunatley!)’ together with links to competitor ISPs in the Netherlands for every word in their slogan ‘Het kan ook zo’.

This website was meant as a joke and a message to Odido. It’s time to deploy IPv6. And Odido is not only very, very late; they also haven’t communicated about their roadmap in the slightest. Everyone benefits when the world switches to IPv6, so why is it so hard? Everyone has had enough time.

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.
