I remember removing the IPX route entries from our Cat65 MSFC back in 2006 and from the ATM/Framerelay WAN Equipment. Wasn't very popular with the customers.

I also remember the first IPv6 Workshop on W2k SP3 back in 2002. Not that long ago.

Thanks to the trend to SASE like Palo Alto GlobalProtect or ZScsler this practice is not a good idea anymore. Speaking of ZScaler, they are still IPv4 only, right?

TabTwo — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 07:05:02 +0000

Had Google trying to send me mails to non-existing mail-addresses over months. You would think their logs might catch something like that or they would react to my complaints ... they don't and they just dont care.

It sometimes stops for weeks, then it continiues.

from my logs as an example: Nov 13 22:10:51 bert postfix/smtpd[2693931]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-oi1-x248.google.com[2607:f8b0:4864:20::248]: 450 4.1.8 : Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from= to= proto=ESMTP helo= Nov 13 22:12:07 bert postfix/smtpd[2696594]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-ua1-x948.google.com[2607:f8b0:4864:20::948]: 450 4.1.8 : Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from= to= proto=ESMTP helo= Nov 13 22:12:18 bert postfix/smtpd[2696594]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-wm1-x346.google.com[2a00:1450:4864:20::346]: 450 4.1.8 : Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from= to= proto=ESMTP helo= Nov 13 22:12:37 bert postfix/smtpd[2696594]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-lf1-x146.google.com[2a00:1450:4864:20::146]: 450 4.1.8 : Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from= to= proto=ESMTP helo= Nov 13 22:13:08 bert postfix/smtpd[2696594]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-lj1-x248.google.com[2a00:1450:4864:20::248]: 450 4.1.8 : Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from= to= proto=ESMTP helo= Nov 13 22:13:08 bert postfix/smtpd[2696594]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-wm1-x345.google.com[2a00:1450:4864:20::345]: 450 4.1.8 : Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from= to= proto=ESMTP helo= Nov 13 22:14:03 bert postfix/smtpd[2696594]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-lj1-x248.google.com[2a00:1450:4864:20::248]: 450 4.1.8 : Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from= to= proto=ESMTP helo=

As you can see, the to-address is generated and its different hosts at google trying to send mails.

Searching for zf.thesparklebar.com shows others having the same problem.

Wait till you learn about companies replacing the opensource parts of their stack/products with something an AI coding agent produced. They do this to get rid of all the burden that comes with using opensource like risking to get sued if they dont ship the source code according to the licence. This is why sboms are a hot topic right now. Also coding agents are now good and cheep enough to do this.

Nice.

I just use org-mode + lots of recurring tasks.

Like car.org has monthly tasks for check fluids, clean inside, clean outside. In April and October theres a task to remind me to change tires and as I'm German a task to remind me yearly to check the first aid kit (you get a fine if its expired and they spot it when they stop you).

So, almost every appliance has its org-file with routines. Same for me and my family, check vaccinations, see the dentist ...

So, if you are already using org, theres no need for an additional tool. Plus, its all text, just throw it in your git. Also, there's tools like beorg to have your org on your iPhone.

Curious question, this case is pure PP. What about shilding EMV emissions? Is this "legal" to run a pc open like that?

New comment by TabTwo in "Synology Lost the Plot with Hard Drive Locking Move"

TabTwo — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 08:26:17 +0000

I'm not sure what customers Synology is targeting. Small office/home office (SoHo) was their original market, but these customers won't be willing to pay high prices per drive. Medium-sized businesses? They mostly move their infrastructure to the cloud, which probably leads to low sales volumes. Plus, they're very price-sensitive too. Large enterprises and corporations? This is the domain of established providers like NetApp. Synology might dream about the high prices that these major storage vendors can charge, but this market is difficult to enter without years and years and years of proven reliability in hardware and service.

I don't think this will work the way Synology imagines it.

New comment by TabTwo in "The IPv6 Transition"

TabTwo — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 17:43:41 +0000

As long as you have enterprise products like zscaler, that do not support IPv6. Or switches and routers that are broken in different ways with every update. Userproperties in Active Directory that are to short to insert an IPv6 address.

Why should any enterprise company move to it? Why should any enterprise (at least) double the cost by having to support two protocols when most problems can be solved by various types of NAT?

Squeeze as much money from the customers until their pain is big enough and they migrate away from VMware.

As a firewall-admin this comment really annoys me.

Heres why: Lots of calls from people complaining their application is not working because the network is broken. Look! at! this! traceroute! supporting! my! complaint!!!

Yeah, it is because udp from any to any is blocked on the firewall for good reasons while icmp traceroute is open. And be carefull because -I specifies the outgoint interface on some os, not the use of ICMP.

They only do IPv4, right? At least the only mention v4 addresses on the GitHub page.

Oh cry me a river. You don't pay for it - you are not a customer, you're probably the product. You don't own the server - you dont own the data on this server/service (anymore). You cant afford to pay for such service - declare bankruptcy, obviously your business is not sustainable. You cant afford to pay for the needed SLA and your business won't survive a few days downtime - declare bankruptcy, obviously your business is not sustainable.
