Having run both systemd and sysv, they both never really break in my experience unless it's self inflicted. I don't think I've ever just had one break randomly, the systemd recovery environment is much better when there is a breakage, and I'm not sure the boot times are really any different in my setup. Maybe if I tried something a little more parallel than sysv they'd be faster but eh.
Yeah, because ultimately UDP is just IP with ports and a checksum added on top, you can do anything with it you can do with plain IP, including reliable transport.
If this was here a week ago I might have rolled this out for April fool's lol, I'm the domain admin for a small company and I'm pretty sure I could get away with it for the occasion, maybe if I remember next year
Hmmmm, I'm not sure I can think of any super good resources off the top of my head but I'll let you know if I think of any. That's kind of weird though, going IPv6 only is one thing but getting an address and a working connection is often transparent and automated unless you have a 3rd party (non-ISP provided) router.
Yes but the ESP is not /boot, it can be, but rarely is in grub installs
The follow up makes valid points. This should happen. The v4 removal was a funny joke for the 1st but this proposal is unironically good
That's why IPv6 has privacy extensions which periodically rotate your address
Small ones are actually often better than big ones. I have a love hate relationship with cloudflare, they contribute to internet centralization but it IPv6 enables so many sites transparently and they only let you turn it off if you're an enterprise customer. So some guy using free cloudflare has IPv6 but not discord, ironic. That being said I have NAT64+DNS64 which lets me access the remaining legacy v4 services without having v4 on my network or devices. Although according to my firewall stats over 90% of my traffic is v6 native, the remainder is NAT64. Honestly the only services I use on a regular basis which don't work if I disable NAT64, discord, steam, and my bank. Everything else I use is v6 native, YT, Crunchyroll, lemmy (this instance), even steam downloads (just not login ironically).
Honestly, I get this is a joke...but it unironically wouldn't impact me, I run single stack v6, so let's do it. I'll grab some popcorn
It's normal for the loopback con path to end in 1, each con path is unique for each interface. My guess is that if your pihole sometimes works, the IPv4 server is your pihole and the IPv6 servers are ISP provided (especially if there are 2), so they work for the internet but not your internal network. Ideally you would set your pihole's IPv6 address as your IPv6 DNS as well. Failing that, setting the IPv6 mode in your network manager UI to "Automatic, addresses only" will make it not used for DNS
nmcli device show eth0
Or replace eth0 with whatever interface it is. Will give you a list of all network parameters including the DNS servers. There ideally should only be one, your pihole
Is your pihole server the only DNS server set? Either on your PC or router? Is network manager sometimes using a different nameserver?
