@vel DMs are a paid addon

Since Hetzner is apparently doing hetzner things and kicking fedi instances and a couple of other projects, a friendly reminder that I run a small hosting thingy :neocat_sub:

https://lyratris.com/cloud-server

We offer "Cloud Server" (vServer), Dedicated Server and a couple of other things like a CDN for example.

All Servers are in Frankfurt (Germany), we're queer run :blobhaj_pride:, have an own network and own a lot of the hardware.

So.. uhmm.. if you are looking for a new home, we still have some space :neocat_sub:

If you have any questions, or need some custom config, just drop me a message :3

(Really really sorry for the ad) :neobot_blush_hide:

How many energy drinks a day are healthy? :neocat_think:

4 is enough, right? :neocat_think_googly:

@puniko Ohh, that sounds comfy. I wanna snuggle too :neocat_floof_reach:

@puniko But there are hundreds of cute gay people in my phone, how do they all fit if my phone is so small :blobcat_googly_think:

TIL: PHP actually supports type declarations :neocat_think:

Hey, uhm.. I know it's Saturday evening, but do you have a quick second to check my PR? :neocat_pleading:

@icedquinn @Jain @privateger @jana It once was desirable to become a LIR yourself, since you also get IPv4 space assigned.

But since we are kinda out of IP space, the waiting list is at about 3 years to get just one /24 assigned.

Soo.. for many, it makes more sense to just get an ASN sponsored though another LIR and rent IP space.
Makes financially a bit more sense, at least if you are planning for the foreseeable future.

Tho.. Technically, the whole IPv4 market is kinda the reason why nobody is returning unused space and the waiting list is that big of an issue in the first place..

@jana @icedquinn @Jain @privateger Actually, 16bit ASNs have the same price as 32bit numbers.

Tho, technically, you can only request them if you have a valid reason for actually needing them. Like, you use some 50-year-old gear that doesn't support 32bit ASNs.

Or in other words, anyone who is seriously offering them now is doing some weird shady stuff, since there barely is any valid reason anymore why you really need them, especially as a private hobby ASN.
(Only applies within the RIPE region, ARIN is doing things a bit different)

What is more expensive is if you want to become a LIR yourself. That's 1k for the signup plus 1.8k/year as a membership fee at RIPE.

But still noting that is even near 20k :neocat_laugh_nervous:

TIL: The Google PKI will not issue certs for domains containing the word porn, because they are "high risk".

No clue how porn is a risk to ssl certificates :neocat_laugh_tears:

@tim Thank you :neocat_heart:

Can anyone tell me which ASN Verizon is using for regular home connections? :neocat_think:

#networking #verizon

So, due to the recent discussions here, I've finally taken a look on Bluesky.

My conclusion,
it's completely unusable. Like.. how do you even communicate with other people without custom emojis? They don't even have neo/blobcats :neocat_shocked:

@ashten Don't worry, docker networking itself is already the mortal sin :neocat_googly_shocked:

What ever you do, it can't get worse :neocat_laugh_tears:

But don't forget that those services are accessible from the outside if you don't have a firewall in place :neocat_laptop_notice:

@Jain @puniko Gerichtsdingens? :neocat_think:

Intel engineering huh :neocat_laugh_nervous:

They made a 5% improvement over AMD.. but with a 1.5x times higher TDP?

240W for a desktop CPU? :neocat_googly_shocked:

@cwebber Actually, it's called the Mastodon Network™

The US based company Mastodon Inc. recently bought ActivityPub.

/hj

(Some tone indicators might be helpful here)

@puniko You have 3TB of photos? :neocat_googly_shocked:

@Jain I want to expose a port, this only should be accessible by IP XYZ.

Really not an uncommon scenario :neocat_laugh_nervous:

Somebody really should fix firewalls and docker..

It's such a pain that probably barely anyone is touching it at all :neocat_googly_shocked:
