On the positive side, I discovered today that #ionos finally allows vserver customers (compared to their cloud computing offering) to set reverse DNS records on #IPv6 addresses. This finally allows me to send email via IPv6 over them (besides the similarly configured netcup instance I additionally have and which provides this functionality since years).

#INWX seit gestern ist die API des Testsystems unter api.ote.domrobot.com per #IPv6 erreichbar.

Danke @inwx

New TV with Google TV as main OS always „forgets“ its #IPv6 addresses after a while, effectively losing all IPv6 connectivity. Why is Android’s IPv6 implementation such a pile of shit in so many areas? Doesn’t Google test their stuff?

Amazon CloudWatch adds IPv6 support

Thank you @apalrd for taking over the effort to maintain TAYGA.

Together with @Oskar456 I updated the #OpenWrt package.

#IPv6 #NAT64

One #IPv6 workshop, two new github issues.

Good week.

There are still LIRs without #IPv6 . 😕

~1000 LIRs still begging for #IPv4 addresses 🤔

What I want from #Mozilla: Overhaul their infrastructure so I can reach all[1] of their resources via #IPv6

What we get from Mozilla: AI 😔

[1] It only took them 7 years to get addons.mozilla.org working: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1354049 . firefox.com now answers on IPv6 but links to download.mozilla.org which does not. Their infra is such a hodge-podge.

🇫🇷 L'instance supporte désormais les connexions #IPv6 en plus de l'#IPv4, les sauvegardes journalières externalisées vers deux sites distants sont également en place.

🇬🇧 The instance now support both #IPv6 and #IPv4, and daily backups on two remotes site are enabled as well.

Did you know Bastille supports dual-stack networking at create-time for VNET jails?

DHCP:
bastille create -V arkham 14.3-RELEASE "DHCP SLAAC" em0

STATIC:
bastille create -V alcatraz 14.3-RELEASE "10.17.89.53 2001:…" em0

@pmevzek @landley I wish I had this luxury.

• Cuz I often have to deal with fucked-up networks that are #IPv4only and sometimes going #DualStack is flatout not being allowed and even having #IPv6 at the public-facing side is seen as a problem.

And I'm more often than not not the guy who gets to make that decision.

• I was only able to get IPv6 allowed WAN-side at one place after my employer encountered the problem that some workers have shitty #CGNAT that bricks #OpenVPN so they could not #VPN to the HQ.

@landley @pmevzek @jschauma @ryanc @0xabad1dea And that is espechally baffling considering that #APNIC as #RIR ran out of #IPv4|s first.

And right now I'm between a rock and a hard place and either become a @ripencc member or cough up equal amounts in monthly installments just to get some properly geolocated #IPv6.

• Cuz people telling me "Oh, just use HEnet's Tunnelbroker"" never experienced the shitshow that is #Geoblocking and #GDPR-#Noncompliance with #Malvertising to slap their faces!

@pmevzek @landley @jschauma @ryanc @0xabad1dea Add to that not every endpoint I want to connect even has #IPv6 and not every application I have to use works with IPv6 - some won't even work with #CGNAT!

@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.

• I mean, worse would've only been #base32hex or #base64hex for IPv6 addresses...

@pmevzek @landley @jschauma @ryanc @0xabad1dea still, a #64bit #AddresaSpace would've been more than sufficient as we can see by the fact that /64 is the default #IPv6 allocation for basically any consumer connection.

A #128bit address space is quite inefficient given we ain't saturating even half of it.

#ZFS does have that problem, abeit #Sun engineers at the time expected #64bit to be as quickly deprecared as #16bin and #32bit.
