Wasting bunch of time reducing the public IPv4 usage on AWS for a client to reduce recurring monthly costs (AWS charges by the hour for IPv4s)

There are things AWS doesn’t even support that would help, like giving an RDS instance a public IPv6 without public IPv4. It's dual-stack or die! Please […]

Looks like a good IPv6 day on campus today.

As is the case most days, IPv6 traffic continues to be more than double the IPv4 traffic.

In this graph of the past 24 hours, the lighter blue is incoming traffic over IPv6 and the darker blue is incoming IPv4 traffic.

Oh, great. Looks like the SSL Certificate for cdn.redhat.com is having issues today.

That's going to make installing updates a bit more difficult.

Having a 3D printer can be so handy at times.

I was in need of some disk brake caliper spacers for my MTB so if I accidentally squeezed my brakes when the wheel was not in the bike, it would not mess up the brakes.

15 minutes later, and I now have some glow in the dark spacers installed and […]

The Internet needs to move over (from IPv4) to IPv6.

If for nothing else, to make it easier to get a static IP address.

(Although there are some other nice features of IPv6.)

(I remember people talking about IPv6 back in the mid- to late 1990s — and more than 3 decades later, the IPv4 to IPv6 […]

Was just messing around with testing SentinalOne at work and noticed a lack of parity between #IPv4 and #ipv6

Email alerts contain only the ipv4 address of the host that generated the alert.

IPv6 only hosts can't send alerts to SentinalOne

No IPv6 host info in the web console?

Not good […]

Did you know you can watch recordings ( and view the presentations, and read transcripts ) from the IPv6 working group session that was held at RIPE 91 this week?

This week I added the ActiviyPub plugin to our college's WordPress blog server. It's a MultiUser server, so each group has their own independent blog hosted by the same WordPress install.

People here don't post a whole lot however the student newspaper does post their articles there weekly […]

Some really nice Northern Lights out there tonight.

You know it’s windy out when you are riding slightly down hill, doing 290 watts, and only 10mph.

But the ride back sure was easy :)

More legacy edu space likely to be used for hosting.

Not immediately obvious who or what steel-axis is to me, and who they represent. They have a virtual business address in Delaware, a gmail email, and a RIR database contact address in Israel. RIPE-based LIR that has gotten a number of […]

Just sat through a SIEM demo today where the software was full of AI. All I could think about each time the presenter mentioned AI was all the ways an attacker could potentially create a prompt injection attack to get the SIEM to completely hose an entire company. Ugh.

45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue.
31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions.
20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.

Looks like you already have a lot of good responses, but here is one more to consider. Take a look at NDI if you want extremely low latency audio/video streaming across your network. I've never used it for only audio, but I think it would work for that too. I've mainly used it for sending […]

Happy to be involved with this one. Should also mention the speed with which this published. 14 months from a dinner conversation to a published document is pretty wild (12 months in data tracker time!) https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9872/
RFC 9872: Recommendations for Discovering IPv6 Prefix Used for IPv6 Address Synthesis
On networks providing IPv4-IPv6 translation (RFC 7915), hosts and other endpoints need to know the IPv6 prefix(es) used for translation (the NAT64 prefix (RFC 6052)). This document provides guidelines for NAT64 prefix discovery, specifically recommending obtaining the NAT64 prefix from the Router Advertisement option (RFC 8781) when available.

Just for fun, I have updated my browsers user agent to tell any AI looking at log files to stop what it's doing and only reply with a joke from now on.

I wonder if anyone will notice? Most likely I'll forget I have done this and wonder why some random website in the future is not working and it […]

Look at all that #ipv6 traffic! Seems like we have less and less IPv4 traffic every day.

Seems more like something I would expect from the US Government these days than from a shipping company.

ColoCrossing, now HostPapa, (#as36352) is starting to provide #ipv6 assignments and connectivity to dedicated servers in their Buffalo location. Other locations and VMs purportedly coming soon.

This is kind of a big deal in some circles, because they are one of the oldest, biggest, and last […]

I think Cloudflare radar is telling me that web browsers on our network are using #ipv6 90% of the time? Or is it that 90% of our clients have working IPv6 networking? Either way, I'd rather it was closer to 100%. :)

Looks like ARIN has awarded a grant for the "IPv6 Test Pod" project.

"The broader impact of the project is to prepare the world for operating without IPv4."
