And it always causes issues.

Anyway, I hope the main joke got spotted too.
Let's Encrypt now does IP certs: https://letsencrypt.org/2026/01/15/6day-and-ip-general-availability

Certbot doesn't seem to be up to the task yet, but lego works.

But I'll probably change it to some image host later, because I have no idea what I am doing.

Why does it not work... It embeds when creating the post.

Seems fine too, it's HTTPS after all, should work.

OK, seems that it's just the default LemmyUI that doesn't like it, which is strange for the number of pict-rs requests in access.log.
Also by the number of 429, 5r/s is probably too low. Was. Anyway...
OR, that's why there is the burst option. Right.

Thank god your post saved my browser from performing a name query because the image link is a static ip address.

Wow, that's a great double-entendre

404; Not Found

Is there supposed to be something?

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s the IPv6 of joinlemmy.com

Too bad it doesn't work, probably because of vhosting

Not even using DNS and it’s still causing issues!

There's still gopher and gemini (the protocols).

...right...I can't view this meme LMAO...I don't have IPv4 on my network 🤣

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I tried that once, basically just Google worked.

It's gotten better but I'm not v6 only, I just don't have v4. I have NAT64 which basically uses your IPv6 as the private address in a traditional NAT setup, allowing you to continue to access the legacy internet without IPv4 inside your network. Catch is you can't connect to IPv4 addresses because it relies on a DNS64 server to generate IPv6 AAAA records from the IPv4 address when a domain only returns IPv4 so only DNS based services work. Basically it lets you have all the befits of a v6 only network with few of the drawbacks.

DNS 😎 Hosts.txt 😏 NetBIOS 🤪

This message brought to you by the IPv4 gang

I used to work at a company where this was in the KB. 😐

Real talk tho: how many times was the issue DNS. The answer is many
