I recently got myself a bread maker. While I used to make the bread myself, the bread maker makes it even easier given I can just throw the ingredients in and forget about it. Since I got it, that poor thing has been running at least once a day (yes, I eat a lot of […]

Building .NET using GitLab CI/CD

GitHub and IPv6 in 2025

Filed under: Networking — jae @ 03:53
In this year 2025, the main GitHub domain still doesn’t serve over IPv6. Some subdomains do have IPv6 though, just… not what you would expect.
