   Here is why relying on IPv6-only VMs can be problematic. In 2024, github .com still does not support IPv6, only IPv4. 🤡 I'm now redeploying VM with IPv4 with special IPv4 tax from AWS. Please host your open-source project using modern git services like GitLab or others. GitHub is so outdated. no ipv6. ugh.

     My entire build failed because it required fetching files/code from Github. I was like, "What is going on? Is Github down?" So I sshed into the EC2 only to discover that Github timed out. I checked the DNS and found that there is no IPv6 record for Github. Lmao. We will never get rid of IPv4 at this rate.

     @nixCraft I disabled IPV6 on my home network because my kids figured out that they can use it to get around my firewall. :/

     @nixCraft Yah, too smart. lol My router is pfsense, so I think I can fix it with out disabling ipv6, but I needed a fast solution to flex my power! lol

     @nixCraft Hahaha I have a Wi-Fi clock at work that depends on a wireless hotspot I bring to the office. The other day it wouldn't pick up the weather. I went through hours of troubleshooting, including a factory reset, only to realize I hadn't unlocked the hotspot's SIM card after it restarted previously 🤦♂️
