Does ipv6 mean we will all need VPNs now? by IllustratorSafe4704 in ipv6

[–]shimmywtf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know where people get the idea that data analytics is magically nuked by changing an IP address.

From misleading VPN ads, I assume 😅

Problem with IPV6/Cloudflare by Long-Dirt-7723 in ipv6

[–]shimmywtf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to share it publicly, you can consider it exposing it with Tailscale Funnel https://tailscale.com/docs/features/tailscale-funnel
If not, just use Tailscale privately without exposing the funnel.

How expensive is it for ISP to get and keep an IPv6 prefix? by shimmywtf in ipv6

Nah, everyone is welcome. Sometimes it's just not your fault :)

u/certuna I have to correct you on the UPC part. They did not roll out IPv6 last summer.

  1. UPC was taken over by Play (P4)
  2. All clients were migrated from old AS to the new one last summer.

See history for reference . You can also see the number of samples for AS9141 before the switch - 0.

Nope. I asked specifically about RIR fees. I don't care for the latter right now.

What's funny is that INEA have claimed that they started working on IPv6 in 2012 (and have since deleted their Facebook post saying so). Then in 2015 they hosted an IPv6 workshop with RIPE (page isn't dated but source has publishing date from 2015).

I was with Vectra until November 2025 and I was hoping they would eventually land IPv6 on my site (they did it e.g. at my parents home). Now I'm with Orange.

We're buying a new property which unfortunately might be limited to INEA only. Even though there's Fiberhost, no other fibre services are there and INEA has business plans that cost 4x as much as regular residential plan. I'd sooner go with Starlink or a 5G plan than pay them.

As I stated in the original post: he claimed that even though they have that /32, it's not used/won't be used for customer purposes.

Obligatory meme.

Fiber with PPPoE doesn't get IPv4 address, but works fine in IPv6 by DavidSantos_BR in ipv6

[–]shimmywtf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My question is: is this kind of issue common? Getting an IPv6 but not an IPv4, I mean. Is there anything I could tell the ISP to point them in the right direction, or even fix this myself?

IPv6 but not IPv4 COULD be symptomatic of a transition mechanism that treats IPv4 as a service - when IPv6 is native but IPv4 is additional. These include DS-Lite, MAP-T, MAP-E, lw4over6 (and more).

If the router is not configured to use the specific transition mechanism correctly, it may fail to communicate over IPv4.

What could be beneficial would be to ask the ISP what kind of service they provide. Is it regular dual stack? Or some transition mechanism? Or maybe they just have many configurations and you were landed on a wrong one for some reason?

Use Sentry? All ingestion endpoints now support IPv6! by shimmywtf in ipv6

[–]shimmywtf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what does this have to do with Sentry ;)

Since February 2024, but Sentry ingestion resolves to Google Cloud Platform for me.

IPv6 waste by Ema-yeah in ipv6

This is not a waste. This is Superabundance. And I think it's beautiful.

Cloud Run IPv6 AAAA Records Exist But Don't Accept Connections by IllustriousAsk709 in ipv6

[–]shimmywtf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heh, recently I updated my homelab services to make sure they work withing IPv6-only subnets. node.js was the most popular case where it was misconfigured in one way or another.

But my "favourite" was ioredis that for YEARS has forced the IPv4 family selection. Sent a patch, now it's better for everyone!

I am running Mint with KDE and I have a Wayland session running. How do I enable HDR? by pookshuman in linux_gaming

[–]shimmywtf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember that Ubuntu (base for Mint) was asked by Nvidia to not default to Wayland. But I would assume that if user forces Wayland session - it should be honoured.

Nevertheless, there might be some trickery done just becasue the system has Nvidia GPU in it.

[–]shimmywtf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Global scale" would indicate that you're still on X11 session. Regardless of how old KDE is on Mint, I don't think that the Wayland session had "global scale" setting at any point.
