Also, the title of the FAA press release related to this document is pure lies/propaganda as usual.

Got an opinion on #drones in the US flying beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS)? You have about 60 days to read 700+ pages and give the FAA your feedback.

googles ipv6 adoption graph showing that from 2010 to 2025 global traffic to google rose from a fraction of a percent to roughly 48%

Seriously people, if you're ipv6 enabled its only a matter of months before more than half your global traffic will be ipv6. Stop writing software and documentation that assumes IP addresses are ipv4 only.

People are stuck in 2010 because they're just not […]

What Docker did was to intellectually limit the creativity that users could have had with containers, funneling everyone into the most trivial of network use-cases. When everything is server-client, it's really hard to develop peer-to-peer or avant guard applications.

The parallels to #LegacyIP […]

Ugh. Our event tech group just received a new BirdDog KBD PTZ Controller and attached it to the network.

By default it seems to have telnet open and no password. If you telnet to the device you are immediately given root access to it, can cat /etc/passwd, etc.

This should not happen in 2025 […]

@litchralee_v6 Yes, I have one network where radvd version 2.19 is supplying a nat64prefix in the router advertisements. Seems to work as expected.

If anyone wants to see a concrete example of how the Trump Tariffs are affecting a company and it's customers in the US ( and how the previous Trump Tariffs from his first term helped make things worse ), check out this video that explains why Silca is not selling their latest bike pump […]

Anyone else see strange issues trying to lookup download.microsoft.com?

My DNS servers seem to mostly fail when looking that up. Though sometimes 1 of 4 dns servers can resolve it for a few minutes at a time.

Also noticed odd results occasionally when using 1.1.1.1 as the DNS server, but 8.8.8 […]

30 Days of Biking 30 Days of Biking is a global initiative to ride your bike every day in April and share your adventures online! Join our joyful community.

Here is a reminder that the #30DaysOfBiking is just around the corner.

I hope many of you are planning to participate.

I think this will be year 11 or 12 that I have ridden at least 2 miles every day of April, outside, in #Minnesota

No way I can properly explain this in 500 characters, but the short version is this:

Don't use a shared IP address for your website/app and expect zero issues.

If your cloud hosted app/website happens to share an IP address with another app that scans the entire internet, don't be surprised […]

Not sure if the current storm system hitting the area was extra hard to predict, or if the accuracy of the forecast is compromised because of DOGE firing so many National Weather Service employees. :(

Graph of IPv6 adoption, as witnessed by Google, with pronouncecd weekend upticks.

I'm probably not the first person to notice this, but it seems that #ipv6 is more widespread outside of the working week, according to Google's stats. Laggard corporate networks? I guess corporates are less likely to churn to other ISPs than residential, and […]

@heymarkreeves I too have definitely entered "My Curmudgeon Era" :) Unfortunately some addictions to social media are really hard to break, but the Fediverse does help.

👏🏻 “I want friction. I want intentionality. I want to listen to an album because I chose it, not because it was shuffled into my ears by a recommendation engine. I want to write, read, and think in places that don't depend on ad revenue or growth hacking. I want to use tools that exist to […]

Very unexpected to see an article by The Register about my favorite window manager that I have been using for well over 20 years now. Once I got used to its features, I was never able to switch to anything else. None of the others seem to let me work the same way […]

Everything else should be exactly the same on my end. Same exact routers, same BGP, same firewalls, should be the same everything. Only difference is the ipv6 range. Unless there is some difference I forgot about or can't find. Humm...

Sigh. Amazon Cloudfront appears to have a routing issue to one of our two #ipv6 ranges. I can ping and download files just fine from one range ( 2620:46:8000::/48 ) but if I try the same thing from 2606:8fc0::/32, I get nothing. Traceroute stops a couple hops short, pings go unanswered, and I […]

I would recommend that they make sure their networks have "diversity" to improve redundancy, but I'm pretty sure the FAA is no longer allowed to use that word.

Routing US Air Traffic Control network traffic over Starlink sounds very sketchy. Or am I reading the headlines wrong?

As much as I think Jon Oliver is trying to do a good thing here, why does his simple, static website that shows you how to be tracked less by Facebook, need javascript, fonts from google, wordpress, and trackers?

I know we all have a million things vying for our attention, but I urge you all to take a look at this website. The authors do a good job of explaining where we are at with "AI", what some of the dangers are, and what it can/can't do.

Here is a study of 93 IoT devices looking at how well they support #ipv6

As you might guess, most are terrible with the exception of a few devices from Meta, Google, and Apple.

https://iot-ipv6.khoury.northeastern.edu/imc24-iot-ipv6.pdf

Draft: Add support for CLAT using a BPF program (!2107) · Merge requests · NetworkManager / NetworkManager · GitLab Summary Implements a CLAT (part of a larger 464XLAT ipv6 transition mechanism) in NetworkManager

A Merge Request has been opened to add CLAT support to NetworkManager.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/merge_requests/2107

As I understand it, a matching kernel component would also be needed but this is great progress!
