@hanno @stenhaastrup

that's true ... i guess they find it looks better ... (?)

@stenhaastrup @hanno

agree. these characters originally actually represented oe, ae, aa - so they should be expressed like that.

@kasperd @miyuru @tschaefer

I agree with what you are saying -
good points.

however, your average end user will say/feel that "things are working".

That it would work better without NAT, and that there might be things they never got to experience cos they DON'T work with NAT - that's nothing they can possibly know.

Humanity can not be trusted to colonize (or co-exist on) earth, let alone colonize #space.

"More than 40 percent of respondents to a new survey experienced a sexual assault or sexual harassment during recent Antarctic research expeditions, according to the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF).

Antarctica is a common analog for #spaceflight or stay on a future #moonbase or #Mars settlement due to its remote nature. "

#colonization

@q66

i have no idea what this is, but it s beautiful.

@kasperd @miyuru @tschaefer

It is true that danish universities have ample #IPv4 space, so there hasn't been direct pressure to migrate,
From a merely pragmatic point of view, #NAT works fine for 99% of all things, as long as we are talking workplace and admin IT - non-specialist needs.
For people who actually do research in IT, like at the #ITUniversity, the situation is different, though.
And of course, users will never find out about the differences, if they never get a glimpse of #IPv6

@kasperd @tschaefer

Yes, my #university too used to have relevant inhouse IT competencies - the misguided trend towards outsourcing everything has led to a loss of #capacity.
Side comment: we also had #IPv6 circa 2011 ...

This is of course an old debate, which now comes back to us, as we begin to understand that maybe putting all our trust into (US) companies was not such a good idea.
This of course mixes two relevant topics: US vs EU "clouds" with the general inhouse/outsource debate,

Why EU, Denmark and any organization with an interest in data sovereignty needs to stop working with #Microsoft: when in conflict, US law will overrule their agreement with customers:

" if the United States were to issue a legal request to Microsoft for the data of a French citizen hosted in the EU, Microsoft would comply regardless of French or EU law. "

@tschaefer

Most danish universities run on non-NREN ASs too - either their own, or ...

the biggest danish universities' web servers run on #Microsoft and #Fastly #AS

(to be fair, web server doesnt say a lot about rest of their infrastructure)

#DataSovereignty

@tschaefer

amount of samples too small to be indicative?

@artnacrea

I hear you.
It s a wonderful country with wonderful people.

Very grateful to be able to be in #Bhutan - and great it's for #SANOG #SANOG43

Remarkably, while the country of #Denmark shows a slow global-midfield growth in #IPv6, its #NREN #DEIC #Forskningsnet shows a downwards trend in IPv6 capability

#IPv6 adoption country ranking by Google:

#Bhutan: 27
#Denmark: 64

and within the country of Denmark, its #IT University is well behind.

"#IPv6 project

Forskningsnettet began offering IPv6 in the production network already in 1998 as the first research network in the world. Since then Forskningsnettet has offered access to IPv6 to the connected institutions. But interest has first really shown in the recent years."

Not all institutions have shown interest though ....

@tschaefer

i kkknnnooowww, right?

an "IT University" might be expected to be on the forefront of IT? ... oh well ...

#IPv6 #NoIPv6atITU

Last day of #SANOG43

One of the many many things i am enjoying here is
IPv6 connectivity -

may my country of residence follow this example soon

ps. my joy in being here is not dominated by ipv6
