friendly landlord, Strato & IPv6

December 4th, 2009 by Elmaron

I asked Strato, the company running the friendly.landlord.eloxoph.com server (our only chat server at the time) about IPv6. Sadly, they don't have a detailed schedule when it is going to be available.

WeIRCd is pretty much IPv6 capable (untested and a minor function still missing to check config entered ips for being about valid that I'll write in a few minutes probably), so this is the only thing holding us off from IPv6 on the main server.

Well there's still linking you say. True, this will also bring us IPv6 capable servers into the net probably. But linking will still take a reasonable amount of time.

Work will start again in the near future (currently it's about plans in my head how to integrate it best), as other things to do are running out. The admin panel is the only bigger innovation so far, apart from that, pretty much everything important is implemented.

So now you can make bets whether Strato or linking will make it first.
