It does support IPv6, though.

    $ dig +short ipv6.watch aaaa
    2a01:4f8:1c1c:4b9f::

    $ curl -6Is https://ipv6.watch/ | head -1
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Unless you mean HN? Feels strange to me to make that comparison.

View on HN

I was referring to Hacker News' lack of support for IPv6, however it is nice to see that ipv6.watch does support it.

To elaborate: I feel that the irony comes from an apparent desire by this website's users towards supporting IPv6, as evidenced by a few articles about the topic on the first page today; Raising awareness of IPv6 support on a site that does not.

In other news, Google “recommends” Duck Duck Go and Bing… if you happen to type them into the Google search engine as a search term. /s

Point being, the items on HNs front page are user aggregated content and has naff all to do with HN itself.

Funnily enough, Yandex has links at the bottom of its results pages to the same query in Bing and Google.
