Also using Hetzner.

But I came across Mythic Beasts (https://www.mythic-beasts.com/) yesterday, similar idea, UK based. Not used them yet but made the account for the next VPS.

This is way way more expensive than hetzner. Not even comparable?

There's been a few post recently on the adoption of IPv6, and I've had the chance to try out what's involved in getting an IPv6-only VPS working as part of a recent project, in an effort to save 50¢ a month...

In all, it works, and if you get stuck the nat64 service really saves the day.

I am keen to hear if there's anything I could improve too. I did use Claude to help with feedback, but found it really got stuck on getting things right in some of this space.

thanks for the post.

did you reach out to honeycomb regarding the issue?

also one other trick it to use a cf warp tunnel to get v4.

No, but I will, can imagine I'd be more successfully that asking for the same on ghcr.io!

And thanks, good to have an alternative to nat64. Touch wood though, so far it's been solid! And did my best to compress and cut what actually goes through it.

tip about ghcr.io, you only need to add NAT to the docker endpoint, their blob endpoint have v6.

I have blog about that, if you are interested: https://blog.miyuru.lk/ipv6-docker-registries-2025/#github-c...

Thank you!

Love the concept, with some similarity to folding@home, though more personal gain.

But trying it out it still needs work, I couldn't download a model successfully (and their list of nodes at https://console.darkbloom.dev/providers suggests this is typical).

And as a cursory user, it took me some digging to find out that to cash out you need a Solana address (providers > earnings).

On top of the app store link not working, the privacy and terms links also 404.

Also why is it free? Presumably the data is the product.

yeah, apple still has to review it... hence the broken link

I found this out when buying a Japan Rail Pass for a trip a few years ago, blew my mind.

https://www.japanrailpass-reservation.net/ only works 4:00–23:30 Japan time.

This is especially funny since the JR Pass cannot be purchased by residents of Japan.

Yeah this is probably downstream of the fact that if you visit any of the individual JR sites from the expandable map at the bottom, you'll discover they're all down at this time as well. Let's scrap the website and make a staffed phone line or fax machine with operating hours.

Considering the state of japanese IT, there is probably a person typing each reservation from the website into a 1980s mainframe.

After receiving the orders that were actually printed from an Internet Explorer 6 only website, and faxed over from another office before being re-scanned in along with a barcode that usually failed to make it over the fax, hence the need to hand-type things. True story (not for JR specifically, but circa 2013)

I've also had issues topping up my (virtual) Suica card late at night before.

Maybe that's when they run all those crazy legacy jobs, but they politely shut the site down for it.

Built a bit of software[1] with Claude this weekend to stop Apple Wireless Direct Link from interrupting GeForce NOW on macOS. Bit of an upgrade from a shell script[2].

Started with Rust, then swapped to Swift to cut the dependencies right down.
