It's IPv6 day
http://www.worldipv6day.org/
The internet had been using IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) addresses, of which there were about 4 billion. We ran out of IPv4 addresses in January. IPv6 supports "approximately 340 undecillion" addresses, but is problematic to switch to. So large scale testing is happening today.
My personal server is all set up for IPv6. My home ISP, Comcast, is doing "IPv6 technical trials", but they stopped accepting new participants before I noticed. (I'm largely using Comcast due to lack of options.)
IPv4 address of my server: 64.71.152.40
IPv6 address of my server: 2001:470:1f05:1b8a::1
