Context:

People have been asking for IPv6 Support on GitHub since years (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/

Mordor itself, Russia. Technically, most ISPs support IPv6 here but as I said each has something weird in config that makes using it... Fun. I don't remember specifics since I'm mostly looking at it from consumer side, but I could try finding the article (in russian) that talked about it.

My current connection doesn't have IPv6 at all according to https://ipv6-test.com/, although I'm not 100% if it's because of provider or Cisco AnyConnect blocking shit.

When you when you sign up for internet here, you get a dynamic IP, it's been that way for... As long as I can remember, really. Definitely more than ten years. I know in Moscow people used to get white IPs way back when, but that's long gone. Not really a problem since most people don't host anything.

white IPs

what do you mean by this? Static IPs?

[-] GTG3000@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I guess that's a local slang.

huh, weird.

I did not know about that page. Thanks.

It's becoming more and more of a problem I'd think. Blocklists just become longer, so the more an IP is used by random people the less useful it becomes.

I might be completely wrong about this though.
