 "Your cellphone primarily uses IPv6. Its IPv4 connectivity is a kludge of carrier-grade NAT and a collection of workarounds that I’d call black magic if the Evil Wizards Union wouldn’t sue me for slander." Networking for Systems Administrators, 2nd edition, is now open for sponsorships. 23 more print sponsors and I'll do another challenge coin. Normal authors: release book to the public early in the week, with much fanfare. Me, late Friday afternoon, from a dark alley: "psst! Hey, you! Yeah, you! #sysadmin! Buddy! You ever wanted to Run Your Own Mail Server?" #ryoms https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/ryoms-ebook/ (boosts appreciated! :flan_beg: )

 @mwl I use Stalwart mail server as it offers all in one solution and ignore rDNS because that's dumb and everything still works The world is more bizarre than you ever imagined. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/04/science/hippo-airborne-study-scli-intl-scn/index.html @mwl the hippo can run faster than you can; the hippo can swim faster than you can. Your only chance to outpace the hippo is during the bicycle stage of the triathlon. 1023 backers? Y'all gonna leave me hanging like this? #sysadmin https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/run-your-own-mail-server

 @mwl I don't know, maybe the goose has an warmhearted purpose for wanting in, like, to scare away the intruder that's hiding in the bathroom. Hey everyone! #vultr just enshittified! They re claiming ownership of all intellectual property you host on their VMs. https://grimgreenfo.rest/notes/9rdle0uyo4d30029 Clear violation of copyright law. [edit: muting this. I got too much to do. Like moving servers. And too many of you don't understand that contracts must be read as a hostile, abusive, manipulative party would interpret them. I've worked with too many bastards who did exactly that and got away with it. Capitalism is not polite.]

 Email #sysadmin folks: The Sieve docs say that all filtered folders are children of INBOX. That's not how I filter my email. Most often, I create primary folders for categories like "OpenBSD," "FreeBSD," etc, then create subfolders for those. Is the "child of inbox" thing important? Am I missing something here? My blog now has an archive page. https://mwl.io/archives/23337 Not that anyone but me will use it. Possibly the most useful article to appear in Low Tech Magazine. https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2023/12/how-to-build-a-small-solar-power-system/

  @mwl I've never heard of this website before, but it might just be my new hyperfocus. Thank you!

Dear creators: please, please, PLEASE set up your own web sites and distribute your work from there. If you post your work only on Twitter and/or Reddit, it's gonna disappear. Soon.

@mwl it makes me sad thinking about how much internet culture is going to be lost over the next few years from all the centralised platforms. @mwl Off topic but please put your fixes or notation anywhere else like github or a webpage. Just somewhere else other than reddit (or archive your thread) @mwl what client (is that the right word?) do you suggest? I've seen neocities suggested a few times but what do you think? Computers are like onions. Everything is layers built on layers, and every layer makes you cry. #sysadmin

If we've ever met in person and you've wondered "Gee, how did he get this way," I finally have a solid answer. (source: https://www.tumblr.com/ejlandsman/135780556301/i-dont-feel-like-this-is-done-but-im-posting-it)

@mwl I'm a fan of the old despair.com poster: "That which does not kill me only postpones the inevitable."  oh, right. Marketing. I'm supposed to do promotion and stuff here. Ugh. Fine. <deep breath> "Books are cool! Buy books!" There. Done. I mostly agree with Kris Rusch's take on AI #writing https://kriswrites.com/2023/03/29/business-musings-ai-and-mediocre-work/ |

@mwl not a single polish GSM carrier does IPv6 by default. At least two of them do only for business contracts. The situation with residential ISPs isn’t much better, with one (UPC/Play) offering a selection between IPv6 + tunneling IPv4 to one IP half a country away or just native IPv4, and several others offering IPv6 (but turning it on breaks IPTV/telephony on their default config).
I hecking wish my phone did IPv6 - outside my wireguard tunnel, at least.
@mwl I WISH my cellphone would use IPv6!
@mwl Yeah can confirm .. my phone always seems to have functional ipv6 on cellular but apps want to do 4 and it often just doesn't work
