for my next trick .. IPv6

Fukuoka, 2026.03.30

I noticed that one of my websites went offline when accessed from the office. I was going to show off a photo. I tried it a few ways and eventually realized from the error string that my browser at work was trying IPv6. This is the first time I've noticed it!

That led to the realization that my DNS configuration included an IPv6 address but my webserver configuration didn't. Half an hour with my friend "Claude", and it's all sorted. I'm on IPv6, hopefully for good.

(That's certainly not something I expected to happen today!)
