Given sessions in Resonite are hosted by the players themselves, IPv6 is very useful in this context as there are no needs to battle with CGNAT or other network shenanigans and restrictions ISPs might put in place to save up on IP space.

As full native IPv6 support is currently being worked on (see GH-143 for a more in-depth status), some parts already do support it.

This is the case for:

If you are a Resonite player and are in the Discord guild, you might be familiar with the #active-sessions channel, in which a bot displays the 10 most popular sessions on Resonite as well as some stats.

What you might not know, is that I’m the author of this bot, that I originally started as just a small oneshot project to have some fun.

It is 2025 and it’s still super easy to deploy a blog using Hugo and GitLab pages.

In fact, the post you are reading right now is exactly that, deployed on my self-managed instance.

But Jae, weren’t you on another host beginning from last year?

Yes, last year I switched to Mataroa for the ease of mind the platform has.

The interface is very clean, has no bullshit whatsoever and is made and hosted in small web fashion.

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.

For instance, avatars.githubusercontent.com:

Whereas none of the other domains accessed when accessing github.com (named github.com, github.githubassets.com and alive.github.com) has IPv6.

Star Citizen is a game that has been in development since around 2013.
It claims to be a space simulator, MMORPG, FPS and a bunch of other things.

More than 10 years later, 750 million USD invested, what have we got?

The good

The game looks visually good, even if overly generic “space stuff”.

Nothing much else to say on that point, the ships have real thought put in their design, starting environment seem to be somewhat consistent and hand built (tho I noticed there are really a lot of food shops everywhere for some reason).
