Neither hackaday.com nor gist.github.com seem to support ipv6, so this seems pretty ironic.

Good for unique address assignments for IoT I suppose, but still seemingly terrible for a user agent.

Yeah, I was going to make the same point.

Rediscovered the GitHub version of the problem recently when setting up some new IPv6-only VMs. They couldn't pull any code from our GitHub repos, making those VMs entirely useless.

They're only "entirely useless" if you're willing to give up at the first hurdle.

Meanwhile, in the real world, the rest of us use nat64 proxies, take advantage of git's decentralised model etc. etc.

Wow. Sounds like someone got out of bed on the wrong side today. ;)
