#IPv6 rocks. Flawless physical migration with only a very minor downtime :-).
Thinking about networks as segregated network segments is just SO MUCH easier, this time around, I went #IPv6only and didn't even bother with setting up IPv4.
Rejoice, network operators. Windows 11 will be joining the rest of the world soon in supporting CLAT, #NAT64, and #DNS64 natively. (Currently, CLAT only works on cellular connections.)
Supporting two IP versions has been a pain we’ve had to live with for over a decade, but this will allow network operators to forcibly disable clients’ IPv4 stacks via DHCP/RA, finish #IPv6 switchovers, and run true #IPv6mostly or #IPv6only networks.
We’re one big step closer to killing “legacy IP” for good.
regarding roaming: IPv4 only suggested 😕
Is anybody here to answer the question, if IPv6 during roaming works, if the setting is changed to IPv6 or IPv4/IPv6 ?
For testing purpose I set up an #IPv6only network with radvd and dhcp6d pointing to a resolving DNS server which itself also only has #IPv6 connectivity. After browsing the web for a short while, I found many websites which I remembered supporting IPv6 failing. Their web servers support IPv6 but their nameservers don't. Some prominent examples are:
The Czech government just approved a resolution that on June 6, 2032 (20 years after first IPv6 day), it will end the provision of
government services over IPv4. #ipv6#ipv6only#czech#government
Never heard of it before, but having a Mastodon-compatible instance packaged in Debian is great. So maybe time for my own instance? 😁 Will at least toy around with it. The question is on which host. But I suspect my Raspberry Pi running Debian Unstable will do. 😎
@grunfink: Ok, #SNAC is now running on my #RaspberryPi 2 running #Debian Unstable #armhf at @xtaran. (BTW, who can guess the wordplay in the hostname? 😎) The host has #IPv6 and is reachable from the Internet by #IPv6only, though. For now I'm just toying around with it, checking how the #Fediverse can look like, too, so don't expect too much from following it for now.
It's reverse-proxied by an #ApacheHTTPd as I'm an old-school guy and I know how to run Apache HTTPds since around 1999. 🧔
