Also added some beta nonsense for checking cloud providers for #IPv6 support, but it's pretty limited and of questionable utility. Would welcome some better ideas for testing such things. https://ipv6.army/cloud-tests/

Volle #IPv6-Unterstützung ist leider auch Ende 2025 noch keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Das betrifft auch viele Mastodon-Instanzen, dabei erstaunlicherweise auch die größte von @Mastodon selbst betriebene mastodon.social.
Und auch das "offizielle" #DockerCompose Setup [1] von Mastodon aktiviert kein IPv6.
Es geht dabei nicht um den eingehenden Traffic. Wenn euer HTTP-Proxy per IPv6 erreichbar ist funktioniert das normalerweise.

Oh true, happy 30th birthday, IPv6! 🎉
One of the annoyances with #NAT64 is that when some site publishes an #IPv6 AAAA record, but their IPv6 server is down and the IPv4 server is up, there's no "happy eyeballs" fallback to IPv4. Because the AAAA record exists, #DNS64 doesn't provide a mapping to IPv4.
It can be worked around by manually adding an /etc/hosts entry for the broken site.
Today's broken site is www.fsf.org. Hey @fsf - your IPv6 server is refusing connections 😉
So looking for different #Mastondon #Fediverse software as the dependencies for #Akkoma are #IPv4 only. Looking at #Misskey but will take a bit to determine #IPv6 only capability. Any input from the crowd here? I don't want to host the Mastodon suite.
When I document from now on, #IPv6 configuration will always take precedence to IPv4 configuration. Legacy should always take the back seat.

if anybody has videos and/or text resources which worked really well to burn #IPv6 concepts into your brain which was proving resistant to absorbing them previously, please share. boosts appreciated!
Wasting bunch of time reducing the public IPv4 usage on AWS for a client to reduce recurring monthly costs (AWS charges by the hour for IPv4s)
There are things AWS doesn’t even support that would help, like giving an RDS instance a public IPv6 without public IPv4. It's dual-stack or die! Please, I don't need any IPv4…
I pray for the day all networking is #IPv6 native and any IPv4 is just gateways for backcompat for laggards…
