Next year, #FOSDEM will be IPv6 only.

So Github will break, as it is IPv4 only (unless they get their act together).

What do you mean, IPv6 isn't an experimental protocol for datacenters?

@axx Hey, at least github is good to test NAT64 setups. These sites are rare these days...

@axx I actually misunderstood the two WiFis, I think: I had selected the "FOSDEM-Dualstack" WiFi as I thought "of course I want IPv6!". Only through the closing event presentation I realized that the "FOSDEM" WiFi (without the "-Dualstack") actually has IPv6 as well - just that it was IPv6-mostly?

@axx (and not to reduce the pressure on Github etc. But I understood that remark in the closing event as the default "FOSDEM" WLAN would be IPv6 only - but not that there wouldn't be an extra "FOSDEM-Dualstack" WiFi again? But maybe I misunderstood.)

@T_X @axx I made the switch to #NAT64-only on the default network of #FOSDEM 13(?) years ago. It broke So. Much. Stuff.

I knew the former maintainer of the network tooling from the Linux Kernel Summit, and ran into him by chance that year. #Ubuntu was completely broken on NAT64-only, it did not even bring up the network interfaces, and we sent people who came to the NOC to their booth.

I also sent that former maintainer over there.

They fixed things very quickly.

@T_X @axx so for #FOSDEM 2027, I had another stupid idea everyone insisted was good: it will be #IPv6-only on the main network. The dual stack will get a yearly name change to prevent auto-reconnect. We want people on v6-only and break stuff left and right. Every. Single. Year.

And if #GitHub is not on v6 by next year, trust me, they will put _something_ in place very quickly.

More evil:
- change the wifi name between Saturday and Sunday  
- Apply QOS on the dual stack 😈

@slamp @T_X @axx we (currently) need ULB staff to change the ESSID. If we get config access, we will change it during the weekend.

@RichiH @slamp @T_X @axx can you preconfigure them in different VLANs you control so there's a legacy_sat and legacy_sun that only work on their respective days?
Show threadRichard "RichiH" HartmannFeb 17
@LapTop006 @slamp @T_X @axx there are many options. I can't have actually broken networks visible and available to connect. It all depends on if we have access to the controller, or not. But we have almost a year to see if there's a chance

Optimist!

@tschaefer @T_X @axx rumor has it, #GitHub saw my #FOSDEM announcement. Including the helpful offer to CNAME to #codeberg which supports #IPv6

@RichiH @tschaefer @T_X @axx and codeberg has cute IPv6 address hexspeak.

Looks like there's yet more reasons to switch:
