cablespaghetti.dev is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
I was using adsb.fi for aircraft tracking, but tonight I was pointed to adsb.lol which has some extra features and works on my #ipv6 only network.
lol - the first website on the internet https://info.cern.ch/ supports #ipv6 but https://github.com doesn't. Embarrassing!
Dabbled with enabling #IPv6 on my #cilium based #k3s cluster this morning. Seems that it /is/ possible to enable without a full cluster/node rebuild*.
Mostly went fine, prefix, prefix mask, masq set to off. After poking a couple of the Cilium Pods new Pods got an IPv6 addr. ...but couldn't ping anything. Traffic made it out based on what Hubble was showing, but not the reverse.
Enabled v6 masquerading, and it all started to work, yay. Suspect I need to try setting up a static route on my router for this to work.
I have a couple pods w/ quirky networking so they got unhappy. v6 IP, dns query replying w/ AAAA but no dice as they really only have v4 connectivity.
Back off for now but promising that it could work.
*.spec.PodCIDR(s) are immutable on v1.Node resources, but cilium in it's default configuration doesn't get it's PodCIDR from there in the default config.
"If you have a website and it's not v6 reachable, it's not on the Internet."

Anyone here running a SDN in Proxmox 9.1 with IPv6 enabled? Preferably without NAT, but I think that's currently not possible?
IPv4 worked fine within minutes, but v6 I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it going.
We do have a /64 Subnet, so I should be able to assign IPs from that via SDN I guess? But the Docs haven't been helpful so far :/
Where are my #ipv6 experts at?
My #guixrouter is having problems where when I restart its networking, it can respond to neighbor discovery, but after some time... it stops receiving neighbor discovery requests (they don't appear in tcpdumps). I think this must be either something to do with my switch or something to do with the linux bridge on the proxmox host... why would this happen? I can see the ndp snooping entry disappears on switch, but it happens even if ndp snooping is off

If any distro kernel ships CONFIG_IPV6=n after this they don't belong on the 'net.
Nice! NAT64 in action, My IPv6-only jail can successfully talk with Github. No tayga, just the new "af-to" feature, that the "pf" firewall got in 15.0-RELEASE:
pass in quick on bastille0 inet6 from $jail_net to 64:ff9b::/96 \
af-to inet from ($ext_if) keep state
This is genuinly nice! 🙂
If you are using an online shop and the checkout requires PayPal, Stripe or else, please make shure to send a Feature Request to the online shop to ask their payment processor for #IPv6 support.
Happy Eyeballs has been a disaster for #IPv6 transition. We've trained a whole generation of admins that it's OK if your v6 doesn't work, the client will just fall back to IPv4. What if the client has no legacy connectivity to fall back on? That was (and still is) the goal.
If you believe that AI is inevitable but #IPv6 is not, well, you're probably not even reading this since we don't live in the same reality.
RE: https://wandering.shop/@xgranade/116193578562763150
In light of ntfy.sh becoming the latest den of slop code, I have stopped using it.
For UnifiedPush I am now using Conversations. There's something ironic about one messaging client (Element X) using another for its notifications. Now we need to get #IPv6 enabled on up.conversations.im.
Last night instead of going to bed I forgot about daylight saving time and added a statically defined #ipv6 #wireguard mesh between my #homelab servers.
Now I can use that instead of #tailscale for the secure data plane. Tailscale is great and I'll probably keep it for the management plane. The way it aggressively idles connections combined with the first packet seemingly always hitting a DERP server makes stuff feel a lot slower than it should.
Update:
Während ich kurz telefonieren war, hat @jana ein CLAT-Container gebaut, der in meinem v6only Kubernetes tut. https://codeberg.org/itz_jana/tundra-nat64-container
Einziges Problem: Wir haben noch ein hässliches NAT66. #ipv6 #uplink26 #464xlat
@jana und ich erzählen gleich etwas über #IPv6 only in der Praxis: https://cfp.selfnet.de/uplink-2026/talk/3WN7TF/
Du willst wissen, wie man Forgejo Runner mit Docker in Docker in einem IPv6 only Kubernetes beherrscht?
In ca. 10 Minuten auf der #uplink26 und auf https://streaming.media.ccc.de/uplink2026 !
Habe mich heute erst gewundert, mit welchen Defaults diese Software unterwegs ist.
Später, eher durch Zufall, dann das hier:
Change Ollama server to use IPv6 addressing by running export OLLAMA_HOST=":11434" before starting the Ollama server. Note this IPv6 support requires Ollama version 0.0.20 or newer.
Since I recently moved my primary DNS to PowerDNS, I realized I can expose its API to my OpnSense and finally get support for dynamic DNS for IPv6 with host-part replacement. Now I can choose if I want to expose things natively on IPv6 PD addresses and proxied on IPv4, or proxied on both AFs, rather than proxying everything. Particularly useful for non-HTTP services.
The bits and pieces were mostly there before, but the stars never aligned for me. RFC2136 would support it, but the plugin was deprecated and never had the prefix replacement feature. ddclient plugin with the nsupdate mode in theory might have worked, but OpnSense doesn't include the nsupdate binary so that was a non-starter. Otherwise it only supports proprietary/custom HTTP APIs. Caddy does have a module for rfc2136, but the binaries in the OpnSense plugin don't include it, and host replacement isn't supported anyway. I suppose I could have written something and stuck it in a container somewhere but eh...
Happy to finally have a decent answer that doesn't depend on a 3rd party service's API.
An online friend of mine and me were having a chill conversation about DNS, IPv6 and what not. We went down memory lane how and when we actually met. Also Freifunk got an honorable mention.

The best statement of every Jen presentation:
"You are not operating IPv6 until you turn IPv4 off"
That was fun. I opened a ticket to close an account I wasn't using. They responded with the classic "What could we have done to keep your business?" I basically called them out on never having an ETA on #ipv6 every time I asked despite it being a purchasing requirement for me. They completed the account closure without further comment. I doubt it will make a difference, but they do now have a record of losing at least one potential customer because they didn't keep up.
Blog Post: Fixing IPv6 and Performance Issues on ZLT S12 Pro Router (OpenWrt)
Wikimedia authoritative DNS servers are now available over IPv6.
I finally located the version for Windows NT 4.0. Firefox 2.0 used IPv6 automatically!
Microsoft released an IPv6 Technology Preview for Windows 2000. It works! Management is all done with the command line and you're limited when it comes to support, but it does work! My Compaq Deskpro EN is now talking to the modern IPv6 world.
Any chance that someone might have spare RIPE ATLAS credits?
I currently do some experiments with the IPv6 routing of my AS201379 and being able to do measurements on Atlas would be sooooo helpful right now.

System Administration: Week 5: Networking I: IPv4 Basics & CIDR subnetting
In this video, we cover the basics of the 32-bit IPv4 address and how we organize networks using Classless Inter-Domain Routing or CIDR subnetting. (Don't worry, we'll get to #IPv6 in the next video.)
System Administration: Week 5: Networking I: IP Allocation & IPv4 Exhaustion
Mommy, where do IP addresses come from? In this video, we discuss how IANA allocates IP addresses to the Regional Internet Registries and try to illustrate just how large the #IPv6 address space is.
One last oddity from my NetworkPolicy project over the last few days..... I am getting the following in my hubble logs:
