    This is great news! It’s absolutely crazy how bad IPv6 adoption still is; it’s basically still impossible to run any service IPv6-only, even if it’s only for like, modern, expensive devices where I think it would be fairly reasonable to expect good support for “newer” standards.

      Is it the cycle of “no one uses it so we dont support it -> we dont support it so no one can use it”?

        To me it’s more like IPv6 took so long to come out everybody just started using NAT. And that the addresses are long and weird.

        It is literally this, coupled with nobody having time to learn or implement something new. Honestly, this is like the one thing that FAANG have been unambiguously good for since their v6 adoption is excellent and is most of the observed v6 traffic.

      Seeing something available on Linux NOT on other platforms makes me scared and confused
