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/

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." You can read all about it here: https://www.arin.net/about/community_grants/recipients/#ipv6-test-pod #ipv6 #arin

Today I discovered the #IPv6 Global Statistics Dashboard - "Comprehensive analysis of worldwide IPv6 adoption and BGP routing data with monthly data updates" https://stats.ipv6.army/ hat tip @forwardingplane

"modern" AV equipment is such a security nightmare. New equipment with the latest firmware still comes with a default username/password of admin admin, web interface is http only ( no ssl ) and it has an open telnet server you can't disable. This particular device happens to be a Williams AV […]

Probably just me, but when I open google.com now ( while logged in ), the cursor focus no longer is on the search box, but moves to the Account Icon in the upper right. My muscle memory can't deal with that and I end up frustrated as to why my typing is not going in the search box. Some times I […]

Is there a name for people who are not excited to have AI integrated into everything? Seems like there has to be a good name for that. LuddAIte? AIgnostic? HAIter? #ai #LLM

Just another typical #ipv6 heavy day here at a small dual stacked college in the US. IPv6 traffic being generally double that of IPv4.

Just another reminder that you should not give AI access to, well, anything really. https://www.securityweek.com/chatgpts-new-calendar-integration-can-be-abused-to-steal-emails/ #ai #chatgpt #LLM #infosec

Don't think I have run across this before. We had an account compromised from a typical Docusign phishing email, however the odd part is the link they clicked appears to go to some sort of proxy server that is proxying accounts.google.com. It looks like it must be doing some sort of man in the […]

First day of classes here at a small college and #ipv6 is being used for the majority of the traffic as usual. Dark blue is incoming IPv4 traffic, lighter blue is incoming IPv6 traffic. Basically every user device on our network is dual stacked.

It's interesting to see #ipv6 addresses showing up in CISA documents. Only a couple IPv6 addresses for APT actors vs the ~100 ipv4 addresses. IPv6 is not immune to abuse, but the bad guys are still not using it nearly as much as IPv4. At least according to my firewall logs :) […]

Not sure what is up with China right now, but my old stale YouTube channel is being contacted by a bunch of sellers asking me to do YouTube reviews in exchange for free products. I know this is cyclical and happens from time to time, but it really picked up in the past couple weeks. Guess it's […]

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. https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/BVLOS_NPRM_website_version.pdf #drone #bvlos #FPV

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 […] [Original post on mastodon.sdf.org]

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 […]

#uspol 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 […]

Here is a reminder that the #30daysofbiking is just around the corner. I hope many of you are planning to participate. https://30daysofbiking.com/ 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. :( #uspol

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 […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

👏🏻 “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 […]

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 […]

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

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? https://johnoliverwantsyourraterotica.com/ Would have been nice if it used #ipv6 […]

I run into motorists all the time that would benefit from watching this video. I'm just not sure how to educate them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sP_wLh391M #biketooter #cycling

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. Even if you don't personally use ChatGPT, Gemini, etc. it […]

Looks like we finally got a good leak of the upcoming Shimano wireless XT and XTR set. https://www.reddit.com/r/MTB/comments/1iju2zq/new_shimano_wireless_xtr_and_xt_groupsets_leaked/ I was wondering when that would happen. Seems like I've heard rumors of its existence for a long time. Not to […]

Drop what you are doing and read this incredible story from Wired, if you can. After that, come back here. https://www.wired.com/story/edward-coristine-tesla-sexy-path-networks-doge/ It mentions that a 19 y/o man who's assisting Musk's team and who has […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

#uspol #politics Something that has been bouncing around in my head bothering me the last couple weeks. Please tell me where I am wrong. It does not matter if what Musk and his cohorts are doing is illegal or not. Once someone tries to use the law to stop them, Trump can just pardon them […]

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

For the Minnesota MTB family, the 2025 XC race calendar is out! https://www.mnmtbseries.com/page/show/4822-events Hopefully I can make it to a few more of these races this year. #mnmtb #minnesota #mtb

Looks like the company doing a delivery to my house today does not support the character ú in their system. :)

I was thinking recently about how /not/ deploying #ipv6, and making your services accessible via IPv6 was discriminatory Public #ipv4 addresses are now a scarce commodity, and some old/large orgs have historical allocations of them such that they don’t *need* to deploy v6. But many developing […]

So now, apparently, your video can be muted on Facebook because it does NOT contain enough material owned by Sony. Nice. :) #facebook #copyright #dmca #sony #meta

Based on my experience not enough people know about the "Temporary Containers" extension in #firefox. Whatever cookies and stuff you accumulate in a temporary container disappears when the container windows/tabs are closed. You can also have permanent containers for use with sites you regularly […]

Build it and they will come. Just another typical day on a dual stacked college campus. #IPv4 traffic is typically well below #ipv6 traffic. On this graph, the dark blue is incoming ipv4 traffic and the lighter blue is incoming ipv6 traffic.

Anyone have any comments or concerns about this IETF Draft that discusses using #ipv6 addresses as a way to encrypt Remote ID session data? I think some of the data sent from Remote ID would be formatted as IPv6 addresses and by doing a reverse lookup of that address, you can verify the […]

I was finally forced to switch from #iptables to #nftables on a new #linux campus firewall setup. I really should have made the switch years ago. Nftables is SO MUCH nicer! Having sets and variables has really simplified the configuration a ton. I was happy with iptables for a really long […]
