😃
I've got 3 in total that I am trying to get in in time for 14.1 . 2 of which have been open for > 6 months
My colo provider has planned maintenance tonight, so I took the opportunity to do what I have been meaning to do for forever; setup DNS at home as a primary for my domains with proper secondary mirroring.
Judging by the fediverse still working.. I seem to have been successful.
I did DNS (with DNSSEC, glue records, name server registration) right the first try? No. I messed something up.. I just don't know what it is yet.
Ugh, my Apple IIgs died today.. looks like PSU, fuse blown (it is an old AE enhanced PSU) opened it up (obviously, if I could tell it was the fuse), none of the components look bad. Good news is this is the part of the system I am the most capable of working on, also tons of community support out there for drop in replacements
@textfiles @a2_4am @burgerbecky Don't mean to place this on blast, but I saw this and thought it might be of interest to all 3 of you:

@scanlime And as is tradition, as soon as I ask, I figure it out for myself:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/ien/ien2.txt
https://www.rfc-editor.org/ien/ien26.pdf (WHERE IS PAGE 3?!)
https://www.rfc-editor.org/ien/ien28.pdf (secion 2.3)
... and I am sure it continues as the evolution of the protocol got to v4)
@scanlime awhile ago you had posted a paper describing variable length network addresses in ipv4 (or earlier), where each 'program' on a computer would get an address and then a router to a subnet would just be a different program, and then this evolved over time to port numbers identifying programs and a fixed address size.
Do you still have a link to that, or any search terms that would help me find it? Thanks.
@openstreetmap hey. Something not up with www.openstreetmap.org? Getting really spotty connectivity from multiple networks, even if down-detectors say you are up.
So if you've not heard, there an obscure ZFS bug. You can remediate it now:
