Wie wäre es, ihr kümmert euch mal um den #IPv6|-Rollout auf social.bund.de? Ja, ihr müsstet dafür entweder Fa. T-Systems etwas bearbeiten oder den Hoster wechseln. Aber es lohnt sich, weil euch dann endlich die Grundfunktionen der genutzten Dienstleistung zur VErfügung stehen würden! @Bundesregierung

The slime also evolves, apparently. Today nxdomain.no/~peter/wankstortio (nxdomain.no/~peter/wankstortio) inboxed, as far as I can recall the first #wankstortion message received here over #IPv6 (and likely inboxed for that reason, bypassing the IPv4 only #spamd).

See "The Despicable, No Good, Blackmail Campaign Targeting ... Imaginary Friends?" nxdomain.no/~peter/despicable_ and links therein for some background #cybercrime #scams #sextortion #bitcon #bitcoin #cryptotulips #cryptocurrency #extortion #teksavvy

Noob-level #SelfHosting #IPv6 question:

My home computers are connected through a router and, although they're clearly using NAT through said router for IPv4, they appear to all have outside IPv6 addresses. Are those addresses directly accessible from outside? When adding AAAA records to my outside DNS zones, should they point to my router's address, or the target machine's?

As someone who until the past year or so had not really taken the time to (seriously) consider using #IPv6 ....

finding this gist has really made this feel like it *might* actually be not *quite* as scary as I'd always envisaged..

I honestly wish I'd understood sooner that devices could be set to only use IPv6 ULAs (Unique Local Addresses), and as a result be unreachable *directly* from the internet sooner!

I had always envisaged a need to carefully operate and maintain firewalls directly on all individual local only devices.

Is there anything I should be mindful/aware of, or think about, in addition to the points highlighted in this gist?

If this helps gets me from IPv4 only to IPv6 mostly, I hope I can contribute anything "extra" mentioned in replies (and/or from my own experience) back to the gist, and hopefully help others in the process!

TIA! 🙏

Just wanted to share some thoughts on #RFC9715 - an #RFC that defines standards on reducing the #DNS issue of IP fragmentation over #UDP. It's not a long read, but a good one for everyone who understands the issues of large UDP responses on the #Internet. A great leap forward to (hopefully) reduce the reflection/amplification #DDoS potential of DNS.

Just today I learned that #Google will configure their public DNS resolvers to limit to ~1400 bytes (smaller adjustments expected while figuring out the sweet spot in production). From now on, DNS responses which exceed this limit will have the truncated flag set instructing the client to resolve back to #TCP.

@matdevdug According to github.com/netbirdio/netbird/i Netbird still does not support the *current* Internet Protocol. I've evaluated it last year to replace the #IPSec VPN at $WORK and lack of IPv6 was the reason I had to give up on Netbird. I have quite many #IPv6 -only hosts and my colleagues need to be able to access them.

Hello, In the README I only see IPv4 subnets, is wiretrustee working with IPv6 subnets? If not, is it possible to add a support for IPv6?
