I enjoyed reading the first few chapters in antonz.org/go-concurren... so much that I ended up purchasing the eBook 😁 It's just $10 which is a small token of appreciation for all that @antonz.org gives to the #go community for free! Plus now I get to solve all the exercises in the book. 😋

So far we have been getting away with the problem by putting our IPv6 only GW api service behind an external LoadBalancer (with a dual stacked VIP) I wonder if there is a way to translate nat46 directly on the node instead of relying on the external LB. Thoughts?

Hi @kindnet.es thanks for developing and sharing this. I am curious how one would solve nat46 though (with or without your agent)? I am running Kubernetes in IPv6 only environment and often run into cases where end user is coming from IPv4 address and they want to access my gateway api v6 address

A couple of awesome resources which I came across as I was learning concurrency patterns in #go

1. Gist of Go by @antonz.org
antonz.org/go-concurren...

2. Interactive guide to concurrency patterns by Richard Chukwu
concurrency.rocks

Say what you may but as far as readability goes I don't find #rust to be nearly as intuitive or readable as #go .. It's so easy to be productive with go after spending just a week dabbling with basics. I don't think I can say the same for rust but I suspect it's just a matter of practice 😅

I have never been a professional C/C++ programmer by trade and maybe that's why I don't understand this but after doing some beginner level exercises with #rust I don't get all the fuss around how borrower/checker rules make it complicated. Sure, it feels lot more verbose. Even more than #go

you can set this helm value `nat46x64Gateway.enabled=true` along with kube-proxy-replacement.

Critical thinking, curiosity and the drive to go deeper into the stack to learn something in & out appears to be diminishing as engineers become more dependent on AI generated content.
People who were once "engineers" are now becoming "operators"

NAT64 is only applicable when you are running an IPv6 only network but then you need a mechanism to connect to IPv4 only networks. The way you are describing it with Docker is not NAT64

For anyone using or interested in running @cilium.io as standalone NAT46x64Gateway I have updated my blog post for the latest cilium v1.18.x releases.

I dig the new updates in #iTerm2 3.6.x with the in-terminal browser, new icons. Feels more modern.
