This idiot copy-pasted the wrong bit.

Yeah, I can ping -6 google.ca, and it works. By IP or by hostname.

Can't SSH to home from work though, but I don't suppose I need to prove
that anymore.

Clarification, at the clients.

More like it won't do static addresses…

Strictly speaking, yes, at the clients, you don't need DHCPv6, nor SLAAC
to get an address, but you're better off. The kernel knows nothing about
your resolver (you don't touch the filesystem from the kernel), so you
do need some userspace to set it. dhcpcd at least lets SLAAC do its job
instead of DHCPv6 if the router advertisements order so.
