#IPv6

2026-03-15

Fairly big updates to the backend of https://stats.ipv6.army/ - integration of routeviews data to enrich BGP statistics, fix a *bunch* of really, really gross hardcoded stuff, make modular and improve data source polling logic, and added better mobile network data statistics. #ipv6 #ipv6stats

Ich wĂŒrde als erstes darauf schauen, ob #IPv6 unterstĂŒtzt wird. Das ist eigentlich GrundfunktionalitĂ€t, wird aber von vielen VPN-Anbietern trotzdem nicht unterstĂŒtzt.

#askfedi Is it just me or downloads from repo.zabbix.com are not working via #IPv6 ?

A terminal window screenshot where you observe the output of command wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/7.0/debian/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_latest_7.0+debian13_all.deb. When using the "-6" flag, result says "Connection timed out."; when using -4", download completes (100%).

Aus einer Petitionsantwort vom 7. August 2023 des Bayerischen Staatsministerium der Finanzen und fĂŒr Heimat:

"EinfĂŒhrung von IPv6 fĂŒr Webangebote des Freistaats Bayern
Da der IPv6-Standard zunehmend Verbreitung findet, ist die Anbindung der Webangebote des Freistaats Bayern an IPv6 (zusÀtzlich zu IPv4) im Rahmen der operativen Projektplanung im Gange und soll bis Ende des Jahres 2027 abgeschlossen sein. Entsprechende Konzepte und Grundlagen dazu wurden bereits erstellt."

Netflix getting confused by my IPv6 tunnel: “Halt, you there, no VPNs or proxies”
Me: 

Netflix: “No, seriously, I know that you can’t selective disable IPv6 on the iPad. Your problem, not mine.”
Me: <actually connects to his VPN terminating three countries over>
Netflix: “THERE you go, enjoy your videos”

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#ipv6

AUFGABE 4 (Schwierigkeitsgrad: 3)

Nach einer nochmaligen Expansion möchte das Untemehmen "Adventure Games GmbH" ihr firmenintemes Netzwerk umstrukturieren. Es soll hierzu wiederum der Adressraum
2001:00b8:853:0843:c0a8:ab3e:c3a5:8189/73 verwendet werden. Im neuen LAN des Unternehmens sollen die 6138 Hosts nach folgender Auteilung in Subnetzen gegliedert werden:

«1. Subnetz fĂŒr die Verwaltung mit 3726 Hosts

+ 2. Subnetz fĂŒr de GeschĂ€ftsleitung mit 230 Hosts

+3. Subnetz mit Entwicklung 956 Hosts

+ 4Subnetz fĂŒr die Server mit 56 Hosts

+ 5.Subnetz fĂŒr sonstige Bereiche mit 1170 Hosts

Geben Sie zu dem Subnetz die folgenden Merkmale an:

+ Netzadresse mit PrÀfix 

+ Multicastadresse mit Prafix 

+ Anzahl der Adressen, die im Subnetz nicht vergeben werden

I was using adsb.fi for aircraft tracking, but tonight I was pointed to adsb.lol which has some extra features and works on my #ipv6 only network.

@train Yeah I need to actually sit down and write a post about what I'm doing. It only really came into focus the last couple days, but now that it's up I think I'm pretty happy with it.

tl;dr: #IPv6 to the max

As @Codeberg's CI is seeing regressions around #IPv6, I'm exploring @codefloe, which uses a Woodpecker fork called Crow. Among many other nice things, it features a pipeline dependency graph. So far, this looks quite promising.

Screenshot of a web page section. A progress bar at the top shows a "Pipeline Progress: 12/13 steps", and a graph below shows how "test:3.13-minimal", "mypy", "ruff" and "reuse" depend on an initial "clone", several other tests depend on "test:3.13-minimal", and a final "build-pages" step depends on virtually everything else.

lol - the first website on the internet info.cern.ch/ supports but github.com doesn't. Embarrassing!

a note about /etc/nsswitch.conf and

mdns4_minimal in /etc/nsswitch.conf unsurprisingly breaks .local type names in an ipv6 environment. Surprising behaviour such as ssh xxx.local timing out, but ssh -6 xxx.local working.

hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname

Once mdns4_minimal is changed to mdns_minimal or mdns6_minimal, ssh xxx.local works without needing "-i6" parameter.

I've been playing with by switching ipv4 off on my laptop. I tried to access a few websites that came to mind. All a bit techy. Surprised to learn github can't cope with ipv6!

Dabbled with enabling #IPv6 on my #cilium based #k3s cluster this morning. Seems that it /is/ possible to enable without a full cluster/node rebuild*.

Mostly went fine, prefix, prefix mask, masq set to off. After poking a couple of the Cilium Pods new Pods got an IPv6 addr. ...but couldn't ping anything. Traffic made it out based on what Hubble was showing, but not the reverse.

Enabled v6 masquerading, and it all started to work, yay. Suspect I need to try setting up a static route on my router for this to work.

I have a couple pods w/ quirky networking so they got unhappy. v6 IP, dns query replying w/ AAAA but no dice as they really only have v4 connectivity.

Back off for now but promising that it could work.

*.spec.PodCIDR(s) are immutable on v1.Node resources, but cilium in it's default configuration doesn't get it's PodCIDR from there in the default config.
