Dear @fosstodon Thank you for providing a fediverse instance.

I would be glad if you could also provide this for people in the modern internet?
Currently you are limiting your reach and are excluding people and instances which use the current #InternetProtocol
Please provide #IPv6 connetivity, inbound and outbound?

Thank you!

@gnome is a great example! They where #IPv4only a couple of month ago and are #IPv6 reachable today across all services! Thank you!

Bonne lecture sur l'Internet Boring : j'aime bien la vision de l'auteur : l'Internet qu'on a connu ne meurt pas, il est juste revêtu d'une couche de quelques grosses boites avec des pratiques commerciales qui sont en train de mourir.

Les protocoles eux, sont toujours là.

The Boring Internet

The internet you grew up on isn't dying. A commercial veneer glued on top of it is. A visual essay about what actually persists.

Todo lo que voy a decir de IPv8: es un despropósito, tal vez con buenas intenciones, pero no resuelve los problemas de fondo que han hecho que la implementación de IPv6 continúe siendo lenta. Tiene el mismo futuro que IPv10 o IPv4+ (a grandes rasgos se parece más a esta): ninguno. Ya tenemos IPv6 que resuelve el límite de número de direcciones e incorpora muchas mejoras de diseño respecto a IPv4, en vez de darle entidad a propuestas de baja calidad trabajemos en implementar IPv6. #InternetProtocol #ipv6 #ipv8 #ietf #networks

#IPv8?! We're still trying to get everyone to agree to move over to #IPv6!! #ietf #InternetProtocol

Internet Protocol Version 8 (IPv8)

Internet Protocol Version 8 (IPv8) is a managed network protocol suite that transforms how networks of every scale -- from home networks to the global internet -- are operated, secured, and monitored. Every manageable element in an IPv8 network is authorised via OAuth2 JWT tokens served from a local cache. Every service a device requires is delivered in a single DHCP8 lease response. Every packet transiting to the internet is validated at egress against a DNS8 lookup and a WHOIS8 registered active route. Network telemetry, authentication, name resolution, time synchronisation, access control, and translation are unified into a single coherent Zone Server platform. IPv4 is a proper subset of IPv8. An IPv8 address with the routing prefix field set to zero is an IPv4 address. No existing device, application, or network requires modification. The suite is 100% backward compatible. There is no flag day and no forced migration at any layer. IPv8 also resolves IPv4 address exhaustion. Each Autonomous System Number (ASN) holder receives 4,294,967,296 host addresses. The global routing table is structurally bounded at one entry per ASN.

The Internet needs to move over (from IPv4) to IPv6.

If for nothing else, to make it easier to get a static IP address.

(Although there are some other nice features of IPv6.)

(I remember people talking about IPv6 back in the mid- to late 1990s — and more than 3 decades later, the IPv4 to IPv6 switch over is still in progress.)
