:therian:i really should not have to have the “look, i am a well-known security engineer, when i say i am not getting ipv6 traffic i mean it and will publish this interaction on my blog if you all don’t fix it” conversation with my ISP (google fiber)
Ariadne Conill 🐰:therian:this is what it looks like when your ISP gaslights you because they can’t be bothered to fix their DHCPv6-PD setup
why fix problems when you can gaslight instead?
i am very close to just deploying a virtualized headend at my colo which is 0.4ms ping from my house. seriously.
Eric Schultz@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems sounds nice to even get an IPv6 address from your ISP. Wonder what that's like...
draeath@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems not your problem, but I had a really strange IPv6 interaction this week.
I replaced my router and decided to try out MLO. It worked great on a few devices, but for some reason on my (Linux) laptop, IPv6 just broke. No matter what I was sending, nothing came back. IPv4 worked fine. I switched to the non-MLO SSID and, with the same addresses, it worked.
Bonkers.
Hopefully there's not some stupid edge case lurking behind your issue. (my ISP is dual-stack)
Laurent Bercot@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems once, I had DNS problems with my ISP, and since I could not get them to listen to me, I sent them a very detailed, factual explanation of how DNS works, pointing out exactly what they were doing wrong and how they could fix it.
A screenshot of my e-mail found its way (anonymized) to the personal blog of one of the guys working at this ISP at the time: the blog entry was sarcastically titled "Yes, please teach your ISP how DNS works".
Yeah, except I was right and if you don't want me to teach you how to do your job, you better do it right in the first place, kiddo.

I have had to do the:
"Yes I rebooted it; yes I'm connected to my wifi; yes the connection is still crap. Before we go further wasting both our time, please put my name into an Amazon search.
Now will you send a tech out to look at the wire that squirrels have been chewing on?"
