Hi, Thinking about it, what do you think is the risk of using AF_INET6 unconditionally? AFAICS it just works. Is there a switch somewhere that might affect that behavior?
Yes, I beleive that it's in sysctl: ``` $ sysctl net.ipv6.bindv6only net.ipv6.bindv6only = 0 ```If enabled, the v6 socket wouldn't work for v4. Disabled is the default on Guix System. I don't know what would happen if v6 were disabled entirely. Hopefully that's not something we have to worry about in 2022.
HTH, Jack
