> It's been around for at least a decade I just logged into tunnelbroker.net to check: my HE account has been registered November 22, 2010 11:30:00 UTC. Today it's unused because IPv6 is basically always available in France. That's not even the first time I tried IPv6 things, part of it being I had some access to RENATER via my engineering school, right when they kicked off IPv6 around 2002. The past 10 years of IPv6 have been largely uneventful for me: it just works.

> The past 10 years of IPv6 have been largely uneventful for me: it just works. Yeah, ditto. Except that it has been more like twenty than ten for me. From my he.net tunnel, to (several years later) my Comcast-provided native IPv6 service, to IPv6 on my phone, to IPv6 with my local ISP (once I switched off of Comcast/NBCUniversal) it has been so very, very boring and reliable for so many years.

I didn't have IPv6 available from the sole (land-based) ISP who offered service at my last house, Altice USA (Suddenlink/Optimum). I moved away about 13 months ago. (Worse yet their modem/router did RAs or whatever but there was no connectivity out) The past 10 years of IPv6 have been largely uneventful for me: it just doesn't work.

  > The past 10 years of IPv6 have been largely uneventful for me: it just doesn't work.* IPv6 worked "too well" for me: a while ago I was web surfing I had all those little Facebook icons show up that were served from their web site, probably dropping cookies on my system. I didn't want that so I put FB's domain in my hosts(5) file so that it go to "0.0.0.0": the little icons went away. Then suddenly they appeared. And I checked hosts to make sure things were still there, and I did web browser debugging to see if things changed in the HTML. And then I remembered that my ISP had activated IPv6, and so the icons were coming from FB's IPv6 address. Once I added "::1" for FB in my hosts file the icons disappeared again.
