Roses are red, violets are blue, everyone is using IPv6, why aren't you? - Lemmy.World

Context: People have been asking for IPv6 Support on GitHub since years [https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/10539] (probably a decade by now) … and someone even got so annoyed that they decided to setup a dedicated website for checking this: https://isgithubipv6.live/ [https://isgithubipv6.live/]

github.com doesn't have a AAAA DNS entry. So it's not serving anything directly over IPv6. Likewise, ping -6 github.com fails. So, what are you seeing that is supporting ipv6?

Websites hosted by github, like 2009scape.org or pytorch.github.io
2009scape - A free & open-source remake of 2009 era RuneScape

2009Scape - Play Runescape from 2009. Multiplayer and free forever.

That is interesting. I figured they would be something like cloudflare/other redirection for github pages. But the IPv6 address space is github registered.

So, really not sure why they don't have the rest of their site enabled.
