Mostly, I’m not big enough to trigger anything there.
Also, since ISPs usually only get a single humongous IPv6 block, it’s actually pretty hard to know what is okay to block. Somebody might be on a /48, /56 or /64 network but they might also just have a single IPv6 address. Since you’re blocking quintillions of IP addresses with each /64 net, the risk of hitting innocent IPs is high.
Also also, I’m not sure if Google is actually prepared for such a case. Since all the requests coming from Invidious just seem like legit unauthenticated requests, it’s hard to flag them on IPv6 when the IPs are fully randomized.
Still, Google is moving towards requiring a login for everything. So I assume that method won’t work for much longer.
Define “widely”.
According to Google 46.09% of their traffic is IPv6 and most servers support it. It’s mostly large ISPs dragging their feet.
It would be a real shame if someone were to organize a group of Linux players for the launch, to leave negative reviews about how they can’t play the game on their Steam Deck…
My favorite thing to use IPv6 for is to use the privacy extension to get around IP blocks on YouTube when using alternative front ends. Blocked by Google on my laptop? No problem, let me just get another one of my 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696 IP addresses.
I have a separate subnet which is IPv6 only and rotates through IP addresses every hour or so just for Indivious, Freetube and PipePipe.
So, does it still run?
1·3 days agoThey are some of my favorite shooters, so definitely give them a go. 2016 and Eternal also go on sale quite frequently for a few bucks.
They play quite differently by the way. So in case you don’t like one, try the other.
I have sinned and got Doom: The Dark Ages for 40 bucks so I can rip & tear a little bit.
Did not like the parry mechanic at first but it’s starting to grow on me. Also, can’t really recommend the game if you don’t have a high end PC.
If your device supports it, you might want to encode to Opus instead. Opus produces much higher quality files at much smaller file sizes than MP3.
For example, Opus at 128kbps is considered transparent when compared to the source file. You can probably go down to 64-96kbps when its just for playback in your car.

As for transcoding them, you might want to check out ffmpegfs: https://github.com/nschlia/ffmpegfs
It can create a “virtual” drive based on your source files and automatically transcodes them when you drag & drop files from there onto your device.
