@N2DYI Good to see #IPv6 is on the roadmap. I look forward to testing that out.

Nice to see more folk talking about wideband audio. I wrote a bit about it some years back [https://www.nivex.net/ham-dvhd/]. The linked paper from Polycom is especially convincing. I got into a discussion with the repeater guy at one of the local club meetings, but he had done his whole career in telecom and was not going to budge on needing to go above 4KHz audio.

Opus would be useful even with the lower audio bandwidth. The network savings of both the lower base bitrate and it being a variable bitrate codec, encoding silence at next to nothing, would be a gain on constrained links.

I had forgotten about the extra hoops Asterisk makes you go through to get Opus, as it's labeled an "external" codec. Back when Debian still packaged it, they included it as an additional package in the repo. I still think it would be nice if ASL would tick the box in the build process to include the module so we could at least try it out.

Why is #ssh so bad at #happyeyeball|ing? Whenever #ipv6 is temporarily unavailable, the system basically freezes wrt ssh.

I‘m happy to report that a PS5 does download its gigantic games from the PlayStation Store via #IPv6. The same can‘t be said for the Nintendo Switch 2 and its store unfortunately. At least the OS now supports IPv6, so Nintendo‘s infrastructure seems to be the problem here.

how do i convince Alpine Linux that it doesn't have IPv4 connectivity? when i run e.g. "ping bbc.co.uk", it picks the IPv4 address first, even though it doesn't have a default route.

i can't disable IPv4 because i need it for Wireguard.

i can't use /etc/gai.conf because musl libc doesn't support that.

this makes e.g. apk very slow because it waits for IPv4 to time out before it tries IPv6. i don't understand why it doesn't immediately get "no route to host" over IPv4...

any ideas?

DAD works, but nothing more.

Or in other words: At the moment it is not possible to use more than one Windows-PC with IPv6-mostly-support (Preview only ) in a IPv6-mostly or IPv6-only Network.

By accident a host may use one of the other mapped IPv4 addresses (out of 192.0.0.0/29) . But in general it takes the first one anywhere.

and W.B. is right: MS has to fix that problem before it gets released for the masses

The good news is I'm not having to nudge as many new sites to bring up #ipv6 these days.

The bad news is that's because nearly everything is behind Cloudflare now.

Poked #AlpineLinux a bit more yesterday. One #ipv6 nit I'm trying to chase down: The installer environment does not appear to have any means of acquiring DNS information via RDNSS. busybox has a dhcpv6 client, but I'm not running DHCPv6 on most of my main networks.

Does busybox have this functionality and I'm not yet aware of it, or is this something that needs to be added? Or is there some other way to go about this?

I was able to manually configure DNS for the install then apk add rdnssd in the installed environment, but this is sub-optimal.

Why should anyone put link-local IPv6 addresses in AAAA records for their MX server?

zimbra.elbe-net.de.	600	IN	AAAA	fe80::250:56ff:fe01:7f8

Is there a good reason for this?
