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.
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.
Because I can remember an IPv4 address and not a V6 address!
At least they could have added an extra octet to v4 instead of making it garbyremoved looking
You are not expected to remember a v6 address - or even v4 for that matter. They are designed for machines. DNS is designed for humans.
Interesting, github websites/pages support ipv6
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?
Websites hosted by github pages, like https://2009scape.org or https://pytorch.github.io
That is interesting. I figured they would be something like cloudflare/other redirection for github pages. But the IPv6 address space is github registered.
So, really not sure why they don't have the rest of their site enabled.
