Sometimes I do computer networking or security things. I like IPv6.

Really looking forward to this event! #kubernetes #cilium #ipv6 #kubecon
Join ESnet's Kapil Agrawal at #CiliumCon to hear how his team built an IPv6-first #Kubernetes environment using #Cilium for networking.

Expect lessons learned on routing, scaling, and simplifying operations from deploying without IPv4.

Due to the recent potential removal of test-ipv6.com, ipv6.army now supports some similar IPv6 tests to determine compatibility and efficiency. #IPv6

The #IPv6 stats site is significantly more efficient now (and pulls from @cloudflare.social RADAR instead of the old source for CF data)

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!) 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...

In the same vein as ipv6compatibility.com, I have used replit to create an aggregation service for global IPv6 statistics. The code is slightly modified to run stand-alone on my own hosting systems and is available on my github. It's still pretty beta, but it works reasonably well.

We pushed out a new version of the #IPv6 textbook yesterday. This version expands on some sections and adds an ePub version for folks that want to use that format. It can be found as a free download here ipv6textbook.com

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

A mental exercise I like to do is replace “AI” and “LLM” in a post with “human brain” and see if it’s still true.
I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.
