I just wanted to check out a link someone sent me. Fuck you too, Reddit!

I’m being unfairly discriminated against for my use of Hurricane Electric IPv6 address space.

@maddy replace .com with .niko.lgbt :3

@niko Thank you, that worked wonderfully! ^.^

@maddy i got that once and dropped them in my global firewall (dns out, referrals in). have a nice life bitch

@maddy

https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib

been using this so i can keep viewing reddit without dealing with their bs :3

@niko @maddy adding this to my list of working redlib instances (it's quite short)

@noisytoot @maddy mine is hosted at home on a residential IP and i try to minimize sharing it publicly so i hope it continues to work indefinitely

feel free to poke me if it ever breaks and i'll look into it

@maddy

May I share with you, RedLib,the private frontend for reddit? https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib

and libredirect, an extension that can redirect you there automatically: https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension

@maddy Oh wow, another being that uses HE tunnels besides me!

@lilynet336 Yes, hello! ^.^

I use them because my ISP doesn’t support IPv6 on residential connections, but I wanted to be able to provide various self-hosted services over both IPv4 and v6!

@maddy Very fair. I’m lucky enough that my home ISP does provide IPv6, but when I visit my grandparents I bring a spare router with me and just use HE because my grandparents’ ISP does not give v6 addressing in the area.

Fun fact for you: did you know that in addition to 6in4 (what HE uses) there’s also a thing called 6to4? Very different method of doing things but it’s the same general idea.

@maddy @lilynet336 I used to use an HE tunnel on my mail server when it didn't have native IPv6 on it. I configured getaddrinfo (via /etc/gai.conf) to prefer IPv4 to avoid the latency increase of going over the tunnel unnecessarily (which also has the side-effect of mitigating the Cogent/HE peering dispute for programs using libc functions for DNS resolution)

(In case you haven't heard of the Cogent/HE peering dispute, Cogent refuses to peer with HE on IPv6 (even after HE sent them a cake), and since they're both tier 1 ISPs (that don't pay anyone for transit), the result is that Cogent and HE are completely unreachable from reach other over IPv6)

@maddy @lilynet336

I want to use Hurricane Electric’s tunnel broker but annoyingly my fucking ISP, Optimum, blocks ICMP port 41 for seemingly no fucking reason at all. I am told that it works if you have your own router and set the stupid gateway to modem-only mode (or use your own) but I don’t currently have one.
