How would the current internet function when you're on a native IPv6 host without any IPv4 instead of using any of the IPv4 workarounds? Find out with a few firewall rules!

    Not the author but I tested some alternatives. Seems like alternative git forges often support IPv6, rather few Lemmy instances do, but many other alternatives to HN/reddit do. I could not find an easy accessible list of Mastodon instances to check that. Overall the state of IPv6 in 2022 is pretty sad…

      What the hell?

      All it takes is to make an AAAA record for your domain – why would anyone not be doing that whenever they make an A record?
