<matrix_bridge><Jeremiah Orians> (Just messaging me here or to my email address or to my work email is usually sufficient) <matrix_bridge><Jeremiah Orians> And looks like IPv4 is finally disappearing as Linux is removing it from the next release <matrix_bridge><Jeremiah Orians> Something about the High Resolution Timers appears to be the root cause <stikonas>that would be very surprising if IPv4 is getting removed <stikonas>well, IP6 probably has about 50% propagation by now but still it's far from critical mass yet <lanodan>Yeah I think you fell for a shitpost, no way IPv4 would get removed <stikonas>what could happen, perhaps they added an option to built it without IPv4 <panekj>as said in replies, Linus doesn't censor <stikonas>there doesn't seem to be such mesage anyway <matrix_bridge><Jeremiah Orians> Looks like my bookmark needed to be updated: it was lkml.org/lkml/2024/ <nimaje>Why wouldn't you allow building a kernel without the parts you don't need? like disabling IPv4 support if you know you will only deploy in a IPv6-only network <stikonas>we were just trying to guess what that IPv4 "removal" means
