@chad Yeah, I also noticed that and thought it was quite odd.

Letsencrypt staff testing SSL certs for IP address.
I like how they only have a IPv6 address to test.

Seriously people, if you're ipv6 enabled its only a matter of months before more than half your global traffic will be #ipv6. Stop writing software and documentation that assumes IP addresses are #ipv4 only.

People are stuck in 2010 because they're just not paying attention and shit is happening fast.

Cyclists, take note! The state of MN wants you to fill out a survey to better factor bicycles into statewide transit planning:

📉 IPv4 exhaustion is real. So how are networks coping?

Our latest IP report dives into the rise of IPv4 transfers, trends in pricing and availability, and what it all means for the Internet’s future.

Do you think IPv4 transfers have become a crucial lifeline in the wake of address space exhaustion?

What Docker did was to intellectually limit the creativity that users could have had with containers, funneling everyone into the most trivial of network use-cases. When everything is server-client, it's really hard to develop peer-to-peer or avant guard applications.

The parallels to #LegacyIP and #NAT are staggering, as they too stymied progress in other, not-yet imagined scenarios. #IPv6 should have been the go-to for hyperscalar from day-one. That it wasn't is forever a travesty.

Ugh. Our event tech group just received a new BirdDog KBD PTZ Controller and attached it to the network.

By default it seems to have telnet open and no password. If you telnet to the device you are immediately given root access to it, can cat /etc/passwd, etc.

This should not happen in 2025. This is also not the first huge security issue I have found with BirdDog devices in the past year.

Sigh.

@chad Thanks! I have been there, but not since the jumpline was open.

I'm pushing for #RIPE to go #IPv6 only for the API and control panel, and surprise there are folks saying they don't have IPv6.

These are "professional" network operators. 🤦‍♂️

Companies like @aaisp have been providing IPv6 connections in the UK for over 20 years now.

Let's set a date and switch this legacy stuff off. It's holding us back.

@chad You got this!

Also, which trail is that? Trying to figure out if I have ever ridden it or not :)

I've just seen an announcement of a new website that has no #IPv6 . I don't want to name the site because at this point in the game a developer bringing up a new site shouldn't have to worry about this and I don't want to bug them.

The site is hosted at Bluehost. If you are a Bluehost customer reading this, can you please raise a support ticket and ask when they are planning to join the modern Internet?

@Efani I would assume the appropriate mitigation for this would be to make sure you are using RA Guard on your switches, which would then block the rogue router advertisements used in this attack.

@Baa Here in the US, Netflix has been usable over #ipv6 for many many years.

@litchralee_v6 Yes, I have one network where radvd version 2.19 is supplying a nat64prefix in the router advertisements. Seems to work as expected.
