Operating system deficiencies:
- there is no portable API to ask the operating system “what is my publicly routable IPv6 address”
- similarly there’s no API for “provision me a new, labeled application-specific global address out of my /64 and tell me what it is”
- I have also not quite figured out a nice legible way to ask “let me know when my public address changes” on any OS either, but in fairness I haven’t looked super hard on this one
