I guess the only way "out of this mess" for me would be to cough up €500 p.a. in @ripencc membership fees and start my own #ASN and get a /48 of #IPv6 & /24 of #IPv4 allocated.
@landley @jschauma @ryanc @0xabad1dea yeah, the exhaustion problem would've been shoved back with a #64bit or sufficiently delayed by a 40bit number.
Unless we also hate #NAT and expect every device to have a unique static #IP (which is a #privacy nightmare at best that "#PrivacyExtensions" barely fixed.)
I guess using a #128bit address space was inspired by #ZFS doing the same before, as the folks who designed both wanted to design a solution that clearly will outlive them (way harder than COBOL has outlived Grace Hopper)...
If I was @BNetzA I would've mandated #DualStack and banned #CGNAT (or at least the use of CGNAT in #RFC1918 address spaces) as well as #DualStackLite!
Ich habe gerade erfolgreich mit #WireGuard ein #VPN zwischen zwei Geräten (Mobiler PC mit #LinuxMint und #iPhone) und dem Heim-Netzwerk über eine #FritzBox eingerichtet. Das ganze hat weniger als 15 Minuten gedauert.
Netzwerkverkehr läuft über #IPv4 und #IPv6.
Das fühlt sich gerade ein bisschen zu gut an um wahr zu sein.
@landley @jschauma @ryanc @0xabad1dea I think #IPv6 would've gotten more acceptance if it was merely a 4x long #IPv4 annotation instead of doing hexadecimals.
Don't trust security check websites.
I just went through 10 online #TLS checkers from <https://techarry.com/top-ssl-tls-testing-tools-open-source-online-scanners/>, and only 2 of them (<https://testtls.com/> and <https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/>) even managed to scan the #IPv6-only site I was scanning. For all the others: How do you expect to run a comprehensive test when you can't even resolve half the addresses?
The horrifically slow internet speed that provider wants perfectly high amounts of USD for, while they refuse to give us IPv6 address blocks, a required, a highly required service for which they have everything in their infrastructure.
#Asia reaches 50% #IPv6 capability and leads world in user numbers
#India and #China deliver a nice milestone, with help from ancient #internet history
It does not, however, mean that more than 50% of devices in #APNIC’s service area – 56 countries that span from Afghanistan to Oceania – rely on IPv6.
Instead, it’s a measure of whether hosts across APNIC’s territory are IPv6-capable, based on an average of the last 30 days of network analysis and probing by APNIC Labs.

fixed the single most annoying freebsd #ipv6 bug, you can now bind a socket to an anycast address (RFC4291): https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=ca4b046105f640ebcbdec7cb74a9eecb963264a6
WiFi on German Bahn (DB) ICE trains does still only have legacy IP connectivity in 2025

No IPv6. Had to use a VPN tunnel to access the modern internet and help myself with some IPv6.
#IPv6 usage in the UK now over 50% according to Google. Still someway behind Germany (75%) and France (84%) but to out of context quote Jon Bon Jovi, "woah oh, we're half way there'.

Would the owner of netcup.armbian.com please check their #ipv6 connectivity? Thank you.
Huh so currently I have DHCP updating DNS records for each lease it gives out
So question for the ipv6 inclined:
But I've been reading up on SLAAC and stateless dhcp6
Is there a common system to update DNS based on ipv6 records in such a system or would I need to use stateful dhcp6? #Homelab #Networking #IPv6
My ISP probably broke their #IPv6 connection and hasn't noticed for at least two weeks now. What else would I expect?
