 hexa | eui-64 derives a stable host suffix from the mac address of your network card | 01:02:10 |
| hexa | since this allows tracking you pc based on the host part … privacy extensions ❇️ | 01:02:38 |

 Charles | i see | 01:03:10 |
| hexa | https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4941 | 01:03:22 |
| Charles | i guess the last piece of this puzzle for me is getting local dns names for each thing on the network so i don't have to memorize ip addresses | 01:04:46 |
| Charles | that was the appeal of dnsmasq | 01:04:57 |
 ElvishJerricco | Charles: just use MulticastDNS | 01:05:29 |
| hexa | mdns does that | 01:05:32 |
| hexa | https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=25.05&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=nssmdns | 01:05:45 |
| hexa | but what I personally do is announce a stable ULA prefix, ignore privacy extensions, and configure global dns to point to these addresses | 01:06:12 |

| ElvishJerricco | for systems not using avahi, systemd-resolved can also do it | 01:06:36 |
| Charles | thanks for the hints | 01:09:42 |
| Charles | with this, should i be setting DHCP = true; or just "ipv4"? | 01:10:11 |
| hexa | you need dhcpv6 for this to work | 01:10:45 |
| ElvishJerricco | Isn't DHCPv6 how you receive your delegated prefix? | 01:10:49 |
| ElvishJerricco | you just don't need to be running a DHCPv6 server | 01:11:15 |
| Charles |
Note that DHCPv6 will by default be triggered by Router Advertisements, if reception is enabled, regardless of this parameter. By explicitly enabling DHCPv6 support here, the DHCPv6 client will be started in the mode specified by the WithoutRA= setting in the [DHCPv6] section, regardless of the presence of routers on the link, or what flags the routers pass. See IPv6AcceptRA=.
| 01:11:29 |
| hexa | yeah, if they send RA with other flag | 01:11:42 |
| hexa | * yeah, if they send RA with managed or other flag | 01:11:53 |
| hexa | you can try running rdisc6 against wan | 01:12:03 |
| hexa | to find out what their router advertisements send | 01:12:27 |
| hexa | * to find out what their router advertisements are | 01:12:29 |
| hexa | the package is ndisc6 | 01:12:44 |
| hexa | # rdisc6 ppp0

| 01:14:01 |
| hexa | mine says it offers stateful other config | 01:14:18 |
| hexa | router adverts are part of stateless autoconfig | 01:14:40 |
| hexa | and dhcpv6 also has a stateless mode | 01:14:54 |
| hexa | but stateful dhcpv6 means getting addresses on a lease | 01:15:04 |
