boosting this whenever i see/hear something/someone telling me to use ipv6

so i finally got around to asking globe telecom (our isp, yes i’m naming and shaming) about ipv6, since we used to have it until semi-recently

“i want to inquire on the availability of ipv6 on my connection. we used to have it until around late last year, when our router has seemingly just stopped getting an ipv6 address from globe” insert image of router dashboard showing such

after literally hours of waiting in customer support chat, the agent just plainly said “Upon checking, IPv6 is not yet available at this time.”

i followed up with “we used to have it so why was it removed?”
(is it obvious that i was mildly annoyed by their answer)

they then replied with a canned response: “I apologize for what happened. Could you please provide me with the status of your internet connection?”

after that i just ghosted them lmao

so either that agent is being a fuckwad (by incompetence, laziness, or otherwise), or globe is really just taking a step backwards on this (or both!)

don’t you just love it when something drops support for a platform mid fucking release cycle

why is this thing down like most of the time i’m awake now

what really annoys me about this is that it works on their cellular counterpart just fine

Persist against all odds

Hetzner, which many instances rely on, just announced a major across the board price hike. A 30% increase isn’t minor.

For larger companies it’s a budget line. For small Mastodon instances, it’s the line between sustainable and underwater.

When servers jump from €49.99 to €64.99 and storage rises too, admins feel it first. Many already subsidize costs.

Some will downsize. Some may shut down.

Decentralization still runs on invoices.

Support your instances.

do I have anyone living in denver in my followers? I’ll need some people in my DMs ASAP for what might shape up to be an emergency.

very higt security

RE: https://furry.engineer/@soatok/116088925054375056

I'm going to be very clear about something:

If you tell me that something I reported has "no security impact", I publish it as soon as possible.

If you're wrong in your assessment of the actual security impact, that's not my problem.

If you're citing an argument about the wrong level of abstraction, I will tell you you're wrong (and why) while I'm publishing.

Do you know a neat trick for avoiding this outcome?

It's called the Socratic method in fancy circles, but it's basically: Ask clarifying questions.
