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/

I'm using ipv6 when I occasionally connect to Yggdrasil.

And I think I'll use ipv6 if we ever need to build a new earthnet.

It's a fine technology.

Interesting, github websites/pages support ipv6

[-] r00ty@kbin.life 2 points 5 months ago

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?

I use IPv6 at home, I selected my last few ISP's because they had IPv6. Left one ISP when they removed IPv6 🤦‍♂️ .

If you can choose ISP choose one that offers IPv6 and let them know why.
