Hello everyone! I think some of you could be interested in this: Introducing the illumos Cafe: Another Cozy Corner for OS Diversity - it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe

I'm sure some sites count "our partners" on 128 bit unsigned integers :)

ik5pvx: unfortunately, they probably do

szilard: Thank you for sharing it!

stefanibsdcafe: it is nice to see you here!

szilard: Thank you! It's nice to be here!

oh nice

i asked my new ISP about IPv6 support, and they just called back and said they're planning to start deploying it in a couple of weeks and asked if I wanted to be a test customer (and get a free month of service)

Nice!!!!

it's provided by the local co-op, so not sure if they're doing it in house or outsource it to a place

but they offer up to 5gb, and is actual fibre to the house (and not the node)

I just did discover my isp does not have access to some parts of IPv6 space:P

kind of weird...

i've never done much with smartos+ipv6, though I guess now I'll have a reason to :)

i'd imagine my mbp and iphone should pick it up fine

thought i've never had to do mess with it too much, so i'm not sure the best approach for my server where i'd like some sort of local static assignment...

tsoome: yeah, there are some long-running peering disputes in v6-land. IIRC it's generally Cogent vs X for various values of X.

jbk: if you use SLAAC for addresses you'll usually get an address that's based on something like the ethernet address by default which should be fairly static, you can also assign many ipv6 static addresses.

although it's been a while since I played with IPv6 and SmartOS, my current ISP doesn't support IPv6 and tunnels get interesting with streaming providers.

jbk: note that one thing you can do with SLAAC with illumos is to force the interface-id (which defaults to being derived from the ethernet address). "ipadm create-addr -T addrconf -i ::1/64 fooif0/v6"

i'll have to mess with it once it's setup

though with smartos, since ipadm.conf isn't persistent, that might require a little more creativity

its probably time to have little update for usbkey in smartos;)

i have a somewhat crazy idea, but might be a bridge too far for it (and dladm)

I also think, we should get rid of /? from ipadm output.

(thats not specific for smartos)

(it mostly came out of trying to fix dladm's broken -t's support and giving up because the tedium was more than i had time to tolerate at the time)
