@hexa:lossy.networkhexamine says it offers stateful other config01:14:18
@hexa:lossy.networkhexarouter adverts are part of stateless autoconfig01:14:40
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaand dhcpv6 also has a stateless mode01:14:54
@hexa:lossy.networkhexabut stateful dhcpv6 means getting addresses on a lease01:15:04
@charles:computer.surgeryCharlesi get 3 sections like that01:16:07
@charles:computer.surgeryCharles

they all look the same, here's the last one:

@charles:computer.surgeryCharlesthankfully there's no at-signs in this :^)01:17:30
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaso for some reason they announce two different ULA prefixes01:18:16
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaw/e01:18:21
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaL2-3 means it would autostart DHCPv6 when it got this router advertiseement01:18:44
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa* L2-3 means it would autostart DHCPv6 when it got this router advertisement01:18:46
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa* L2-3 mean it would autostart DHCPv6 when it got this router advertisement01:18:52
@charles:computer.surgeryCharlesthose being the fd00 ones?01:18:53
@hexa:lossy.networkhexayeah01:18:57
@hexa:lossy.networkhexafc00::/7 is unique local addresses01:19:04
@hexa:lossy.networkhexakinda like private address space for ipv401:19:18
@charles:computer.surgeryCharlesah01:19:31
@astravoid:matrix.orgastravoid joined the room.01:19:44
@hexa:lossy.networkhexayou really can achieve a lot with just networkd01:20:47
@charles:computer.surgeryCharlesseems that way01:21:06
@relichunter:nitro.chatrelichunter joined the room.02:44:08
@charles:computer.surgeryCharles

hmm i'm getting

# ip route get $(dig AAAA google.com +short)
RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable

on the router machine again after rebooting it without any extra changes

03:00:47
@charles:computer.surgeryCharles
[root@green:~]# ip -6 route

this looks wrong, there's no non-ULA address for en-wan

@charles:computer.surgeryCharles

@hexa:lossy.networkhexaon wan03:09:46
@charles:computer.surgeryCharlesi'll try that03:10:33
@charles:computer.surgeryCharlesyeah that was it, nice, thanks03:11:23
@charles:computer.surgeryCharlesso now that i've got ipv6 addresses for my machines, are the non-privacy-extensions ones stable for use in AAAA records for public DNS records?03:17:28
