Too bad I often have to disable IPv6 because my ISP suddenly decides to stop routing it from time to time. This is Comcast, so arguing with them doesn't get me anywhere, all I get is "Thanks for expressing your concern." "Rest assured that I will solve all your problems." from the support dude in some random call/chat center.
Doesn't Happy Eyeballs fallback to IPv4 on that situation?

Silly question (especially for this forum): how would ipv6 be useful for websites served via Github Pages?
There are more and more networks that are native IPv6. And IPv4 connectivity is done with double NAT, NAT64, 464XLAT and other heroics. The faster we can allow native IPv6 end-to-end, the faster we can get rid of the complex IPv4 compatibility technologies and simplify the entire internet. At some point, you may start to see networks with no v4 connectivity whatsoever (maybe they already exist, but I can't imagine th…
They are rare but do exist! Here's a couple of reports from the IPv6 subreddit: [1] [2].

Anecdata: Enabling IPv6 does seem to break random stuff randomly.
It would be nice if Verizon was interested in providing IPv6 access via their Fios service at all in 2021.
I have FiOS as well and I'm only a few miles from them. I attempted to get IPV6 from the router settings and it didn't work for me.

Happy Eyeballs isn't quite fully prevalent and it hasn't seen all failure modes yet nor how to deal with them.
Internets is a really hard problem. For starters: define "connected". My wife will sometimes suggest that our internet connection is not working - she implies that her laptop (Arch Linux - obvs) is completely broken. What is really happening is that Mr Zuckerberg's thang has wandered off for a break and a smoko.
This morning it was our mail server. Hit the wifi kill switch by accident then internet will not work.
I've disabled the kill switch.
