		buildbuildbuild on Dec 7, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Tell HN: IPv6-only still pretty much unusable This problem led us to self-hosting Gitlab four years ago, I can't believe it's still an issue in 2022. It's appalling that a "developer product" like Github remains such a blocker to IPv6 adoption, especially for highly Github-reliant communities like the Golang ecosystem. Launch an IPv6-only VM and try to build a mainstream Go project.

Most of Go dependencies these days come from your $GOPROXY, which by default (proxy.golang.org) is available over IPv6 just fine.

Go grabs GitHub repos over a proxy hosted by the Go project? How comes?
