Quantum Fiber C5500XK seems like nice router with everything you need but turns out #IPv6 is just utterly broken... You can enable it but it still says disabled. Adding a subnet to LAN doesn't work. What the actual fuck.
The old Centurylink C4000 had no problem enabling #IPv6 6rd, yet in the new hardware it's implemented but dysfunctional and instead of fixing it they just say it's "not supported". WHY ARE WE GOING BACKWARDS!!!!

the urge to disable IPv4 in favour of #IPv6 only on all publicly available machines and services

IPv6 in the boardroom | APNIC Blog

Guest Post: IPv6 can be seen as an infrastructure refresh, rather than an organizational responsibility tied to governance, risk, and compliance. Reframe it in those terms, and it shifts from a network discussion to a board-level obligation.

Imagine you wake up and suddenly GitHub is accessible via IPv6

#IPv6 #dreams

Omg, I came across the totalitarian fever dream that is called #IPv8. Why is it even reported on? Takes 2 mins to realise:

- Website is 100% AI
- Vast portions of the proposal most probably too
- Everyone can propose an Internet Draft and have it published on ietf.org
- Author is called "veteran network architect" but has no track record and hides behind entity registered in Bermuda

The pain is real.

🎮🤯 Oh wow, a Nintendo Wii doubling as a web server! Because nothing screams "cutting-edge technology" like a 729 MHz CPU and 64 MB RAM. 🌐 But hey, if you manage to connect over #IPv6, you might just find the cure for insomnia hidden in those network errors. 😂📡
