feel free to start a thread and post whatever you think is interesting or useful.
that's distinct from asking someone else to do busywork that serves no purpose (imho)

I also say "no"

But with a little more elaboration...

There is no need to add this (imho).
There is no room in the badge pixels for this.
It's asking for lots of effort (from someone else) that (imho) needn't be spent.

yes - fast DC tasks get credit that counts towards the challenge,
but the stats posted above about progress do NOT include fast DC tasks

The most common issue with ipv6 are MTU mismatches combined with ICMP Packet Too Big responses being blocked, which breaks Path MTU Discovery.
IMHO A better workaround than disabling ipv6 is to reduce the TCP MSS to a smaller value e.g. 1200.
But the real fix is that the ISP needs to get it's act together - it's almost 2023 and many people have this working just fine.

something towards the end of 2023 should be dedicated to Chris Caldwell and his approaching retirement (which includes the T5K site)
