You should be able to look up the last hop that responds (via ARIN or whoever the internet number agency is in your region) and see who that ISP is. Now the annoying part is some ISPs just drop ICMP at their border so it’s not s smoking gun that they are the issue.

Dispelling the myth of a universal "Lemmy" community, and discussion of what the fediverse really is
bit off more than they could chew
By starting a Lemmy instance a year and a half before Rexxit? I never saw them claim to want to be the next Reddit. The Fediverse had an influx of users and Lemmy doesn’t currently have the mod or admin tools to deal with that situation gracefully. My understanding is that most of the bad actors were external to Beehaw.
They didn’t bite off anything, shit was being shoved into their mouth so they closed it.
Personally, I’m using my very own Lemmy instance so that I can choose who I federate with (including Beehaw). I totally understand why some folks might want to have their home instance elsewhere, and it’s cool that federation gives us that ability.

This wasn’t the impression I got from the Beehaw admins. I believe they felt that blocking lemmy.world users from Beehaw but still being able to have Beehaw users interact with lemmy.world would have been better than full defederation, but I don’t think that was the ideal solution either. Something like an approval process for an external user to interact with Beehaw communities would be preferable.
Also, Beehaw could go fully private today if they wanted to, that definitely doesn’t seem to be their intention.
I’ve seen reports of people who haven’t tried to reset their password getting a reset notification, I bet the email issue Beehaw is having is exposing some buggy behavior in Lemmy’s notification system. The random email address “working” makes sense, as that email likely isn’t attached to a user, so the send function never gets hit. At the same time, to prevent enumeration attacks, Lemmy probably doesn’t have a notification that says “That email address doesn’t exist”
When did you try? I think emails haven’t been working for about the last hour.
With that many disks, I'd compare what it would cost to build a desktop PC to hold all the drives, compared to a commercial NAS. When I pulled the trigger on my Synology, the thing that really sold me was the hot-swappable drive bays. I use mine to back VMware storage, so if I had a drive fail, I didn't want to have to take down all my VMs to offline the storage and swap a disk.
Another thing you might look at is used hard drives. I know you've got some, but they're pretty small, and drives have gotten pretty cheap. NASes with more than 4-5 drive bays get pretty $$$. I just bought an 8TB HGST Ultrastar "refurb" drive for $75. Lots of options, but the bottom line is, I think you'll love having your own media.
How many drives do you have laying around? Synologys are nice (I have 2) but they’re a little pricey. You could go with one of the plus units and run Plex directly from there.
One of my coworkers got a TerraMaster NAS and installed Xpenology (basically the synology OS) on it. There hardware is a little cheaper.
Couple questions:
- What’s your ISP at home?
- What’s the ISP of the remote IPv6 server?
- Are the other networks you’ve tried from the same or different?
I’d start with traceroute and see how far your IPv6 traffic gets before it fails. It could very well be some peering or routing issue between some of the ISPs in between you and wherever that IPv6 address lives. If this ends up identifying where the traffic dies, a lot of the tier 1 ISPs have BGP looking glass servers so you can get an idea of what they know about that subnet.
Oh interesting, it looks like PWA notifications were added in iOS 16.4, I’m not on that yet. So maybe it is a lemmy issue.
ESXi is a full OS, not sure if you have the option of swapping out the OS on your server. I’m also not sure it will help in this case.
You are very constrained in what you can do by your networking situation. I think your fundamental problem is that you have a single IP that has to be both the management IP of the server, and also handle all the VM network traffic.
The ideal topology for this would be firewall using the public IP for it’s WAN interface, then your VM host and VMs all on its LAN interface (using DHCP or not). With another IP address, you could run a firewall as a VM.
Any way you slice it, I think you’re either an IP or a networking device short.
I wish notifications worked with the PWA. I’m guessing that’s an Apple restriction 😞
