fun fact I forgot to mention: if you use ipv6 on cellphone connections, your site loads more than 2% faster and uses less than 98% as much electricity, due to avoiding the expensive and computation-hungry NAT process itself, as well as not needing to be physically routed to that big centralised server and back. So if you care about 2%, you'll use IPv6.
