#ipv6

@bagder Another reason to add: lack of #IPv6 support.

Home and recovered from my first #FOSDEM
What a madhouse of a conference. Looking forward to next year with #IPv6 only on the conference wifi. (I was on legacy-only eduroam from the hosting university for most of the conference).

Und weil wir gerade das Thema wireguard hatten: ich sitze ja hinter einem cgnat, was das reverse proxying schon anspruchsvoll macht. Bin eigentlich immer über nen ssh tunnel ausgebrochen ;). Hab heute mal auf wireguard umgestellt. Gefühlt 300% Performance Steigerung 🙈

#wireguard #selfhost
#cgnat #ipv6

@renchap Thank you for your reply. Given the growing uptake of Mastodon, I imagine that you and your team are very busy, and I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I'll continue to follow developments with interest, and am looking forward to the eventual addition of support, which will help me expand my network here even further. Wishing you all the best!

1/3 🐳 Docker IPv6 Networking Quick Guide:

CIDR: Notation showing network size (/64 = 2^64 addresses!)
Gateway: Network exit point (::1) - how containers reach the host/Internet
IPAM: IP Address Management - Docker's subnet allocation system
Subnet: Address range (e.g., fdXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX::/64)
ULA: Unique Local Address (fd00::/8) - private IPv6 like 192.168.x.x for IPv4

@rickvanrooijen @MastodonEngineering @staff

Valid point. The mastodon.social instance already seems to support inbound IPv6: en.internet.nl/site/mastodon.s
However, for actual interaction and federation via IPv6 outbound support is needed as well and the latter indeed seems to be missing. Hopefully they can fix this.

Hi @MastodonEngineering and @staff, I'm on mastodon.social and would love to follow @bwb@ipv6.camp, but I can't because his instance is IPv6-only. Is there any chance that mastodon.social could support federation with IPv6-only instances in the near future? This would improve federation for everyone. Thanks for your time!

I keep coming across programs that still prefer IPv4 even when a viable #IPv6 path is available. Part of me wants to file bug reports to get them to follow the spec. The other part of me just finds a way to return an IPv6-only record for the thing I want to talk to and it usually works.

#Github is #IPv4 only?` No #IPv6 ?

Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are now available on kommunermeddnssec.se and kommunermedipv6.se.
There are still some issues with domain names/geo data for Norway, Iceland, and the newly added countries, but….

I wanted to have #IPv6 addresses for my #OpenBSD vmm virtual machines for quite some time. I never realized how easy it is until I discovered how easy it is.

- Enable and configure dhcp6leased
- Enable and configure rad
- Restart the VMs
- Enjoy

The slightly longer version can be found on my website xosc.org/vmm-ipv6.html

And I'm sure Android still won't support it

Finally optimized #Network #Speed for my #IPv6 Tunnels with 1420 for #Wireguard and 1365 or #IPsec .

Now happy with the speed.

Aos usuários #BR de #Ubuntu e Internet da dona roxa (Vivo - AS18881): neste momento tem 02 (dois) servidores espelho (mirrors) de pacotes com latência nacional em #IPv6 :
- linorg.usp.br/ubuntu
- mirrors.ic.unicamp.br/ubuntu

Essa empresa tem o péssimo hábito de fazer conexões locais irem passear na terra do camundongo e, por algum motivo, desde a manhã de hoje e somente pra esses mirrors tá funcionando como deveria. Aproveitem enquanto não "desconsertam".

NetworkManager based CLAT working on NixOS! :neocat_cute_reach:

This took me way too long to get this working, but it works really well!

Here's an awful gist if anyone wants to try:

Feel free to tell me all the ways I did the Nix wrong

(seriously though, I'm quite new to Nix. pls send help :neocat_woozy: )

#nixos #ipv6 #ipv6only

Screenshot showing a NetworkManager based CLAT on NixOS. It shows my ethernet and WiFi interfaces having IPv6 as well as CLAT interfaces, and a successful ping to 1.1.1.1

@RichiH @fosdem The people running the FOSDEM fosstodon.org account might come to a surprise that there is no AAAA DNS record. Given that so much of the internet still relies on IPv4 is detrimental for the open source community (financial barriers, reduced self hosting, ...).

Bisogna essere malati di nuove tecnologie per usare #ipv6 anche nella rete locale... Presente!
Scherzi a parte, la cosa migliore per prendere confidenza con una tecnologia è usarla! 1/2
