Should probably fix that given we've been out of IPv4 for over a decade now and v6 is only becoming more widely deployed

[-] renzev@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago

Agreed. Though I wonder if ipv6 will ever displace ipv4 in things like virtual networks (docker, vpn, etc.) where there's no need for a bigger address space

I wish everything would just default to a unix socket in /run, with only nginx managing http and stream reverse sockets.

Wait, but if you have, for example an HTTP API and you listen on a unix socket in for incoming requests, this is quite a lot of overhead in parsing HTTP headers. It is not much, but also cannot be the recommended solution on how to do network applications.
