@pugmiester You can use LLs on the point-to-point and still get traceroute if you have GUA somewhere on the host, typically loopback. No need to allocate and route dedicated subnets that way.

Forget all the bad news; THIS is happening! Joy!

I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later I opened its door. Neuromancer is in production.

This October, the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine is projected to hit a once-in-a-generation milestone: 1 trillion web pages archived.

We’ll be commemorating this historic achievement on October 22 with a global celebration. Learn how you can take part ➡️ https://blog.archive.org/2025/07/01/wayback-machine-to-hit-once-in-a-generation-milestone-this-october-one-trillion-web-pages-archived/

the fact that the Internet Archive got into bigger trouble for lending books they paid for than Facebook did for reproducing books they pirated tells you everything you need to know about copyright.

I don’t know who to credit for this, but it’s beautiful

Tariffs on parts but not new devices? That’s a double standard. More people will choose replacement over repair. That means more e-waste, fewer domestic repair jobs, and more dependence on imported tech.

We need policies that fix the system, not punish fixers.

(Notwithstanding the rumored retaliatory tariffs, which are TBD.)

I'm pushing for #RIPE to go #IPv6 only for the API and control panel, and surprise there are folks saying they don't have IPv6.

These are "professional" network operators. 🤦‍♂️

Companies like @aaisp have been providing IPv6 connections in the UK for over 20 years now.

Let's set a date and switch this legacy stuff off. It's holding us back.

Dear all,

Good morning!

Best regards

I'm old enough to remember when our #1 concern about the veracity of online information was that anyone could edit Wikipedia

@kkarhan I like the "gradual" algorithm — start with /32 for v4 or /64 for v6, then block bigger blocks if there are few smaller blocks from a single bigger one. With bigger ISPs it's often undesirable to block too many innocent users just because one or few abusers.

That really depends on the use case though, I definitely can think of cases when blocking ASNs would be a good strategy.

@kkarhan no, it's just pointing the blocking argument is invalid in the times of CGNATs. From my experience IPv6 addresses change less frequently than IPv4 though.

@landley Nope, it's much easier to block a /64 than a client behind a big CGNAT.
