GitHub lacks IPv6 support for Git repositories
- elliewithcolor 3y agoYes know problem. But also known that they work on it.
- mdaniel 3y ago"work on" it how? "thoughts and prayers?" I fail to understand how it can be 2023, and GitLab have full IPv6 support, but GitHub is all "... oh, is this IPv6 thing new? we'll put it on the backlog with the extremely limited resources of .. err, Microsoft .. who are currently occupied with some OpenAI something-or-other ..."
- mixedCase 3y agoIPv4 will continue to dominate until IPv4 experience is very noticeably degraded for users or seriously more expensive for providers to get an address. It's just reality, it's hard to care about non-problems, specially when fixing them creates real my-problems.
- tonymet 3y agogood point. I like Amazon's approach of passing IPv4 costs to customers. this should make a change.
- tonymet 3y agowhere to track updates?
- photonbeam 3y agoThey could atleast provide an ipv6.github.com as a manual choice
- 0x073 3y agoNot sure if ipv6 as default or climate goal is reached first.
- tonymet 3y agoPlease upvote that. It's ranked ~ 20 for the year. I'm hoping we can get more visibility via hackernews.
- tonymet 3y agoLooks like they hinted at IPv6 testing 14mo ago ... https://twitter.com/AS36459/status/1582728252199964672 https://twitter.com/AS36459/status/1582728252199964672
