ipv6
I think #FOSDEM might be a perfectly good slot to provide people BSD based systems for free again.
#opensource #learning #education #runbsd #freebsd #openbsd #netbsd #bsd #freevm #freevps #hosting #ipv6 #homelab
The new @BoxyBSD platform gained some new features for a better #BSD experience!
* The new portal now also finally supports VNC access to your BSD based VPS instances!
* You can finally select ISO files which offers you even to install any BSD or #OpenSolaris version from scratch or to install your VPS instance based on your personal needs without relying on a ready2use image. More images can be added upon request quickly. Simply get in touch with @gyptazy
* You can now get up to 2 free VPS instances to test and evaluate HA setups, multi-region setups etc.
* Extended DN42 peering (where you can also use your DN42 IPv4 addresses)
This is created by @gyptazy and if you're interested into more information, just come to the FOSDEM 2026 for a chat!

On Thursday, @gyptazy provided a talk about #BoxyBSD at the "Virtualization Gathering" at @credativde.
@gyptazy provided some more information about the BoxyBSD project, but also about the history and infrastructure including the switches of #FreeBSD #Jails, #bhyve and #Proxmox (#kvm). Afterwards, additional information about the #Sylve project were shared and why this is so important and interesting and could make BoxyBSD return to bhyve based #virtualization.

Ever messed up an update? We got you covered! Simply restore your Snapshot!
You can now also manage (create, delete, restore) a snapshot of your Box! If you ever messed up your application, OS update or anything else - simply go back to your last snapshot and try again! This way, you can test and learn #BSD even better and easier!

TIL that #simyo (mobile provider) actually supports #ipv6 on their network, but it does not seem to be enabled by default in the APN config (which lives on the SIM, right?).
This 4y old forum thread (https://forum.simyo.nl/internet-4g-en-5g-62/wat-is-de-status-van-de-ipv6-uitrol-44316) said the same, assuming it was only enabled for new customers, but I only subscribed a few months ago.
To enable ipv6 on Simyo: Settings -> Network & Internet -> SIMs -> Select SIM -> Access Point Names -> Select APN -> APN (roaming) protocol: IPV4/IPV6. Then reboot.
Every HackerNews post about IPv6 has some of the worst, most privileged, idiotic, vibe-coded, proprietary, ignorant, 16bit, capital-guzzling, unicorn takes I've ever known on the subject:
- IPv6 addresses are too hard to remember.
So? You're not meant to remember addresses, that's why we have DNS, write it down, literally a non-issue.
- IPv6 is confusing and I don't want to learn something new.
That's a personal issue buddy, either start reading or get left behind, that's what you said about AI right? More things than you depend on this transition.
- NATing has solved the IP limit problem so there's no point.
NATing is a plaster slapped onto brain bleed, easy and cheap, but ineffective, it causes a wide range of usability problems, such as blanket IP bans, restrictions on self-hosting, connectivity issue for VPNs both private and corporate.
To make matters worse, the effects are significantly worse in poorer countries, while Europe, China and the USA have a bounty of IPv4s to use (though China's still aren't enough), India has been on critically short supply for a while now with reports of multiple NATed network layers being issued. Imagine if you got banned from Valo because your neighbour 4 districts away got caught cheating.
- We've been trying for 40 years and it hasn't worked so let's give up.
OK, we're going to give up on solving world hunger too then because that's clearly not getting anywhere, and the energy crisis too while we're at it, just shut it all down.
Just because you personally haven't seen the progress or felt its effects doesn't mean its not happening, people smarter than you have been working on this before you were born, and at this rate might continue to work on it after you switch careers to Goose Farming.
- IPv6 hasn't worked so let's just make IPv7.
Insane take, despite how it looks, IPv6 support is extremely widespread and ready to go, the reluctance of big tech and ISPs is purely due to the cost implication and lack of enforcement, creating a brand new spec now would enforce another 40 year delay just to assuage your own personal opinion.
- IPv6 is a security risk because the router isn't NATing.
Misunderstanding of what NATing does. Even with a public-facing IP on every device, ports are still protected by the router's firewall.
- IPv6 is a privacy issue because now you can easily identify every device in a home by its public IP.
A valid concern, if it hadn't been identified and resolved with the Privacy Extensions to SLAAC that randomises your IP address after a set time period, mitigating the problem to that of your NATed IPv4 Public IP, if not making it more private by muddying the telemetry waters.
#ipv6 #networking
I’m genuinely confuzzled: why is #ipv6 such a basket case in implementations at this very late date? When I have network issues, it seems to mostly come down to ipv6 being a right nuisance. (Yes, or how it is handled, but…)

#IPv6 usage reaches historic 50% across #Google services, matching IPv4 — increased usage eases pressure on the IPv4 address market as 'new' protocol designed in 1998 finally hits its stride
#Cloudflare, meanwhile, shows that 40% of traffic is done in IPv6, an actually impressive figure if you consider it's measuring actual transferred packets rather than just counting addresses

I know I might install VSAT equipment and networks onboard vessels for a living but that is all ipv4 with no ipv6 whatsoever. So this would also help me improve my skills too.
Just hope Julie is forgiving if I accidentally break things temporarily. 🤣
Hello #Fosstodon! Our instance now supports both IPv4 and #IPv6! This should also include federation with IPv6-only instances. This has been our most requested feature on Fosstodon, so we’re super excited to add this support to our community.
For the first time in my life, my home internet is faster than the connection on my datacenter servers. For once, the bottleneck isn't here, it's there.
Meaning, I can self-host stuff right here at the same speed as over there.
And I already have a couple of ideas on WHAT to host, on top of what I'm already running (and more efficient backups, obviously).
It's just a shame about the quality of the installation work. Seriously, unbelievable. Outside, the fiber cable wasn't even properly secured; it's just dangling off the wall with a couple of zip ties in the most pathetic way. If someone walks by on the inner pavement, they could easily snap it.
I'll have to take some time and try to fix it myself... but overall, the outcome is still extremely positive.
And finally, I have native IPv6, without needing any more Tunnel Brokers.
#RFC 3901 is now obsoleted

Wondering how and why? With @BoxyBSD and @BoxedTux, I’m already running platforms that provide free VPS instances for educational purposes, learning and testing for years now. I guess, providing real AS and peering services (maybe even sponsoring LIR in cooperation [but this would cost money]) could also be very interesting for several ones, apart from the DN42 network. Happily looking for feedback…

I just adjusted my relay instance which now also finally supports #GoToSocial! Of course, it also supports Pleroma, snac, Mastodon, littlefedi, starling and many other ones!
With relays, your own posted content gets distributed to all connected instances, as well you get the content all other instances. Currently, mostly tech related instances are connected, focusing on #Linux, #Proxmox, #BSD / #FreeBSD, #IPv6 and many other things!
