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 GitHub is so outdated.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.

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.

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 🤦♂️

But if you really want to use it, wasn't there a way to wrap IPv4 addresses to IPv6 addresses? You could just manually put in DNS entries in the hosts file to avoid paying the extra if so. (Though they would also have to be manually updated if they ever change.)
