okay so since the IPv8 draft had exactly one good idea, I present to you Styx - the cursed river that helps carry your IPv4-only packets into the IPv6-only future.
https://github.com/apalrd/styx46
basically how it works:
- you have some old ass computer which cannot do IPv6 - maybe you are a vintage collector and like SGI workstations, for example
- the world has moved on, and web sites are now ipv6-only, so you cannot browse your favorite content
- you do a dns query to styx for an A record, but none are to be found
- styx finds a glorious AAAA record, so it creates a new dynamic mapping in tayga to bridge that specific ipv6 destination to the underworld
- your client gets back 10.17.43.33, which styx+tayga will then translate to 2a0f.... for your session
disclaimer: this was made in two days and only tested by doing apt update + apt upgrade, and pinging google

As someone who's done plenty of Android testing in IPv6-mostly/only environments, this is not even slightly surprising, Android's networking state machine is a huge mess

@wertzu1@mastodon.social I'm limited by the footprint size not being larger than the 6 tubes, so it fits in the enclosure. I could move components to the esp board from the power board, but wanted to keep the boost converter and high side driver circuits compact and the current loop in the boost converter small.
drc is very unhappy yes, but I did go through all of the errors and confirm they will be fine. Most of the errors are silk screen or clearances around round parts. I'm using very large traces (mostly 0.5mm, some 0.35mm and 1mm) due to tolerances of the mill, and set the drc clearance rather high but also know if anything is too small the mill will remove it. A few are holes too small - many part library holes are 0.75mm and my drill is 0.8mm.

@EndlessMason@hachyderm.io well it speaks IPv6, so I guess that counts right?
I've decided to make a secret thing (will be on video soon) using some vintage technology, and got the brilliant idea to pcb mill it
Uhh single sided layout is a nightmare
Got a new roommate last week, figured Friday the 13th is a good time to introduce him.
This is Ozzy, the prince of darkness. He’s slowly getting used to his new home, and is incredibly difficult to find when he hides. He’s very Finnish, so he tolerates a small amount of social interaction but loves the sauna.

@viccie30@hachyderm.io It's definitely a simple looking tool, which I like.

@viccie30@hachyderm.io oh doesn't look like it supports most of the tunnel types (just tun/tap and Wireguard I think), so it won't work for me

@viccie30@hachyderm.io oh that's neat, I've been moving to networkd from ifupdown due to the nightmare of dealing with all of the different ifupdown's, but a single yaml would be pretty easy also
anyone have a favorite way of managing network namespaces in systemd?
Riding the struggle bus to get my Finnish digital id to work in Firefox or Safari without crashing to find that it just works in Chrome
No idea what’s broken now but it’s definitely frustrating.
