> especially with SLAAC

Oh no, last time I asked on HN I got 24 to 48 easy steps involving a lot more acronyms than this (please don't repeat them).

IPv6 is easy to use only if you let your one router manage everything and you give up control of your home network.

Edit: again, please don't help. There have been HNers trying to help before, but my home network is non trivial and all the "easy" autoconfiguration actually gets in the way.

There are no more acronyms. SLAAC means automatic client configuration. That's the only one you need.

> give up control of your home network.

What does that even mean? What do you gain by deciding your Apple TV should be at 192.168.0.3? With IPv6, you can just `ping appletv` and it works fine. What more "control" do you need?
