I don't know about ARIN, but I got an PI assignment from RIPE for my home lab without issues.

Who do you peer with? How do you make your prefix publicly routable? Or do you only use it privately?

I currently peer (via tunnels through my IPv4 connection) with securebit (aka tunnelbroker.ch), freetransit.ch and route48.org (but the list varies a bit over time), The original motivation was my frustration about my ISP not offering native IPv6 and general interest in internet routing.

Tried to go this route too, but got stuck setting up Bird2 over GRE tunnels. Do you mind sharing your config if you use Bird or similar?

Sorry, I missed your message. I'm using bird2 (and networkd for the tunnels) but sending the configs here doesn't work that great. Feel free to reach out by mail and I can send you a copy (news@2krueger.de).

Any LIR can get a /29 (or /32), and probably anyone that can find a sponsoring LIR can get a /48 no questions asked.

What is a LIR?

Wikipedia says it is

>A local Internet registry (LIR) is an organization that has been allocated a block of IP addresses by a RIR, and that assigns most parts of this block to its own customers

RIR being Regional Internet Registry
