@beyondmachines1 what if said #CPE doesn't get updates from the #ISP?

@Jarek @landley that assumes #IPv6 addresses are static (Providers in #Germany do "pseudostatic" alike #IPv4 and unless one's a business customer, will forcibly disconnect once each 24 hours and reassign a new IP) and that applications ain't configured to prefer IPv4 over IPv6 just to avoid timeouts and having to check if IPv6 exists since the only "#IPv6only" #ISP I know is #Starlink (and even they do #CGNAT due to customer complaints…)

@landley @jschauma @ryanc @0xabad1dea yeah, the exhaustion problem would've been shoved back with a #64bit or sufficiently delayed by a 40bit number.
Unless we also hate #NAT and expect every device to have a unique static #IP (which is a #privacy nightmare at best that "#PrivacyExtensions" barely fixed.)
- I mean they could've also gone the #DECnet approach and use the #EUI48 / #MAC-Address (or #EUI64) as static addressing system, but that would've made #vendors and not #ISPs the powerful forces of allocation. (Similar to how technically the #ICCID dictates #GSM / #4G / #5G access and not the #IMEI unless places like Australia ban imported devices.
I guess using a #128bit address space was inspired by #ZFS doing the same before, as the folks who designed both wanted to design a solution that clearly will outlive them (way harder than COBOL has outlived Grace Hopper)...
- Personally I've only had headaches with #IPv6 because not only do I only have #IPv4only #Internet but my #ISP refuses to allocate even a singe /64 to me (but has no problem throwing in a free /29 of #IPv4's in with my contract!)and stuff like #HurricaneElectric / #HEnet's #Tunnelbroker fail face first due to #Geoblocking and the fact that #ASNs get geolocated, not their #PoPs...
If I was @BNetzA I would've mandated #DualStack and banned #CGNAT (or at least the use of CGNAT in #RFC1918 address spaces) as well as #DualStackLite!

@shoppingtonz @alternativeto @torproject also every #Tunneling - regardless if #SSH or #VPN or whatever - will inevitably introduce #latency (unless you happen to be customer of a shitty #ISP with horrible #peering and thus can cut down on hops needed, which is AFAIK only a theoretical scenario)...
- Outside of circumventing #Geoblocking and bypassing #IP-based #Banning (i.e. for #Cheating) I've not seen any use-cases.
In fact I stopped using #HEnet #Tunnelbroker and #IPv6-#GIF-Tunneling because it created more issued than it solved on my #IPv4only #Internet connection…
Question to the network people out there:
Are there any ISPs that are IPv6 only (without providing a NAT/whatever)?
Background: Having an argument with a provider that hasn't published any AAAA records, and whilst I think that's poor form, I'm wondering if this would actually negatively affect any actual users in practice?
If you like using other people's DNS, this is a reminder that CIRA has the "Canadian Shield," the free public DNS (for Canadians).

#LibreQoS v1.5 Demo - #QualityOfExperience Software for (not only) #ISP Networks:
I suspect #NBN contractors might be at work in my street [& specifically outside my house atm], finally running fibre-optic cable up my street from the node box ~700 m away. A normal peep would not speculate, but simply wander outside, say g'day, & have a look/ask. Ofc not me though; i'm quietly under my bed, trembling with all the other silverfish & cockroaches & spiders, hoping they & their noise go away soon.
D0gknows how i'm gonna manage, some other time, to actually deal with them coming into my place, inside my home, for the necessary Doings, later once my #ISP advises me that #FttP is finally available for me if i want it [which i do, just not the peeps needed to get it]. Sigh.
Continued thread
@torproject same with #obfs4 bridges: there is no option to say like ports=80,443 or similar, which makes it cumbersome to get said bridges.
- And yes, for people stuck on #publicWiFi and shitty #MVNO|s this is most likely the only way they can get any #Tor connection work through #CGNAT and #firewall|s, as most do #BlockTor and it's associated #ports alongside common #proxy ports like 8000-9999 and anything they can't #MITM that isn't #HTTPS or #IMAP!
And trying to get places to #DontBlockTor that criminalize the use of #Tor is foolish at best.

@herrorange how?
Like I really wounder why...
Is it due to shitty #CGNAT at the #ISP end and #Skype doing aggresssive #HolePunching through any #NAT or some other #ISP-side shenanigans?
most of the DEC Alphas that ran production for SDF.ORG since 1999 are still around. what should we do about this in 2025? #server #retrocomputing #64bit #isp #vintagecomputing
ISPs fear wave of state laws after New York’s $15 broadband mandate.
@ArsTechnica reports: "When the FCC isn't regulating, states have more power to impose broadband laws."

Oh, no! States my make internet more affordable! Oh, the humanity!

Claimed 1GB down/750MB up, no caps, no modem rental for $50/mo?
Bell can stuff their latest price increase where the sun don't shine if things work out for him.
Funny thing. He's leaving Bell but it's a Bell tech performing the work. To chop $70/mo off what Bell charges him.
The canadian telco/ISP situation really, really sucks!
@phlogiston yeah.
Fortunately @BNetzA hardlined on that, basically saying: "Network Access is a Passive Connection Point." and also enshrining #DeviceFreedom and banning #ISP|s from forcibly bundling #CPE|s (with rent) towards consumers.
What's the thing you dislike the most about your local ISPs?
Look at us all communicating openly about the #coup. They're going to come for the communication. IDK, maybe they'll criminalize encrypted services, take over broadband, eliminate broadband, not sure. But I'm like 90% confident they're going to try to shut down any mass communication where we are able to talk about what they're doing and organize a response.
