    How else are you supposed to deal with 4-way stops? In my state it’s first arrival goes first, however if two cars arrive at the same time the car on the right proceeds first.

    By always respecting the second rule. There are no 4-way stops here. If an intersection does not have signs the vehicle on the right always has priority. No exceptions.

    It’s not that complicated, and I’m not sure what’s wrong with it

    The problem is that people have different views on who came first but there are no different views on where right is. If there are any disputes there can be no arguments on who came 20 milliseconds earlier, instead you can just look at who had the right of way.

    IPv6 is pretty much identical to IPv4 in terms of functionality.

    The biggest difference is that there is no more need for NAT with IPv6 because of the sheer amount of IPv6 addresses available. Every device in an IPv6 network gets their own public IP.

    For example: I get 1 public IPv4 address from my ISP but 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696 IPv6 addresses. That’s a number I can’t even pronounce and it’s just for me.

    There are a few advantages that this brings:

    • Any client in the network can get a fresh IP every day to reduce tracking
    • It is pretty much impossible to run a full network scan on this amount of IP addresses
    • Every device can expose their own service on their own IP (For example: You can run multiple web servers on the same port without a reverse proxy or multiple people can host their own game server on the same port)

    There are some more smaller changes that improve performance compared to IPv4, but it’s minimal.
