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/]

The perpetual chicken egg problem of IPv6: many users don’t have IPv6 because it’s not worth it because everything is reachable via IPv4 anyways because IPv6 only service don’t make sense because they will only reach a subset of users because many users don’t have IPv6…

Yes but IPv4 is becoming expensive and it’s annoying having to use a middleman to clone github repos on a v6 only VPS

Or one could use alternative hosters, or maybe even selfhost git services.

Yeah let me self-host other peoples github repos because github doesn’t have IPv6 lmao dude

How about “Let me selfhost my own repos, so other people working with my stuff can use IPv6, as well as be sure no large corporation known for being cancer stands behind it and monitors every thing I do.”?

I do 🥰

That doesn’t solve the problem of me needing other peoples githubs repos on a VPS with no v4
