Actually HN is available via IPv6 over Cloudflare. You have to add a CF IPv6 it to the hosts file.

In fact I am posting this comment over IPv6.

That's worse, yeah? You do see how that's worse?


The fact anyone should think this is somehow acceptable state of art is obscene to me.


> hosts file

1986 wants a word.


I actually run a separate DNS proxy that does it automatically for me. (HN and lot of other sites)

I only mentioned hosts file because it is the easiest way to spoof the domain.


That's still the same thing: you're manually adding a mapping where you shouldn't have to. HN should just publish the AAAA RRs and be done.


Your comment has no useful information.


Put this in your /etc/hosts file and it should work (I don't know if it does as I don't have ipv6)

Can confirm, works like a charm!


Which is not useful information in this discussion.


Ok, but please don't respond to a bad comment (or one you feel is bad) by posting bad comments yourself. That only makes everything worse.

A better way to counter comments that don't contain useful information would be to add some useful information; or perhaps to post a question explaining what information is missing and asking for it.
