finally got static IP from a new ISP (lemmy.ca)

Hello folks,

I got my static IP and I am very happy now, I have been hosting a lot of services since I got the static IP, however I still have to host a fediverse service however it's not that easy to host any fediverse service, I tried to host GoToSocial but the devs said they don't support Podman and my server is podman only ( I tried installing docker but it was failing for some reason so I gave up and used podman instead of docker).

these are the services I am currently hosting ( basically all the easy services which you can host with just "docker compose up -d" :p ):

feel free to suggest some other cool services which I can host :D

All the shortening rules trip me up. I'd much rather work with addresses with standardized number of hextets and ideally the same number of digits than not have to type a few zeros.

all of these are the same address: 2041:0000:0001:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041:0000:0001::875B:131B 2041:0:0001::875B:131B 2041:0000:1:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041::0001:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041::1:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041::0001:0:0:0:875B:131B 2041:0:1::875B:131B 2041:0:1:0:0:0:875B:131B 2041:0000:1:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041:0000:01:000:00:0:875B:131B 2041:00:1::0:875B:131B

Ugh. Yes.

The fact that they have shortening rules already shows it's too complicated.

They would've been better off with a shorter length, and ditching hex for a base 32 string.

Imo they should have kept the ipv4 format but instead of maxing out at 255.255.255.255 make it 65535.65535.65535.65535 this aproach makes the address pool more than 4000000000 times larger and is backward compatible with ipv4 so it could be a drop in replacement for most things. And if we ever do end up running out of over quintilion (18446744073709551616) ips we can just keep going up, to 4294967295.4294967295.4294967295.4294967295.

What's the problem?

Once you learn IPv6 it isn't bad. I would highly recommend that you check out onemarcfifty IPv6 videos
