kernel.org dns broken

2011-09-08 Thread Atticus
I can't resolve anything for kernel.org from Verizon's 3G network, or from
HE in California. I'm using HE's nameservers, with Google's as a backup.
Neither of them have any records. Anyone know what's up?

2011-03-31 Thread Atticus
This OT, and for those of you with virgin ears, don't read more. This is
specifically to Ronald:

Maybe, if you didn't act like a flaming douchebag, and were polite to
people, they would be more interested in helping you out. Learn to use some
fucking manners. Every single message I've seen from you has been
condescending. I agree, this entire situation and situations like it are
fucked up. That doesn't give you the right to start demanding answers from
people, and in general treating everyone else like we are your personal
servants, and are responsible for making sure your every whim is carried
out.

That being said, I'm probably going to get banned for that, but I feel it
needed to be said.

Sunday Funnies: Using a smart phone as a diagnostic tool

2011-02-27 Thread Atticus
I use Android phones, mostly for remote administration. SSH using
ConnectBot. If you want a really durable phone, with the option of a little
bit of additional functionality, I would take a Motorola Droid 1, throw
CyanogenMod on it with a p3droid kernel. The phone itself can survive 3ft
falls @ 30 mph (proven myself on accident), the keyboard is very useable,
and overall is an amazing phone. You can also use a fair number of command
line tools, and add your own statically compiled tools, or dynamically
compiled with a bit more work.

Do you use it as a technical tool in your work, either for accessing
devices or testing connectivity -- or something else?

If so, what kind of phone, and what (if you don't mind letting on) are
your magic apps for this sort of work?

(My motivation?  Well, um, Lee, I'm looking at buying an HTC Thunderbolt,
if everyone can get their thumbs out, and I want to get a feeling for

BGP Attribute 92 ?

2010-12-18 Thread Atticus
I'm not a network engineer, I merely subscribe to NANOG for interesting
things that come across for me to learn about. That being said, I find it
hard to take someone seriously who doesn't know how to write using proper
English with words capatalized and punctuation, etc. I also saw noone taking
the BGP attribute 92 stuff personally. Not to mention, anything that can
disturb services uptime warrants at least a Sorry guys, my bad. Without a
forewarning, its not exactly a wild assumption to think it could have been
an attack. I believe I remember a thread from a while back about the same
attribute messing a lot of Cisco products up. I also don't see anyone else
resorting to foul language to get their point across. Mayhaps I'm out of
line for sending this, and just needed to vent. If I've offended anyone, I
appologize.

Re: 33-Bit Addressing via ONE bit or TWO bits ? does NANOG care?

2010-07-29 Thread Atticus
What world do live in? Yes, we extend the life of IPv4 by increasing the
numeric range. As for only needing port 80, I'm not really sure where
you've been for the last decade or so. There's are hundreds of services
using different ports, and tunneling them all makes absolutely no sense.
Yes, we don't really need 65k ports, but stealing bits in the header from
them is the most ridiculous thing I've heard yet.

List of registered ports: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbersAlso take into account public
access *nix servers, with people running their own services on whatever port
they've taken or been assigned. How do you intend to implement a solution
for that? Give public access servers the middle finger and keep on going?

  33-bit is a fucking retarded choice for any addressing scheme as it's
  neither byte nor nibble-aligned.  Infact, the 33rd bit would ensure that
  an IPv4 header had to have 5 byte addresses.

 33 bits nearly as useful as my proposal to extend the live of IPv4 by
 simply using the unused addresses.  What unused addresses do I speak
 of?   Currently the highest IP address is 255.255.255.255.   Well, why
 not use the addresses from 256 to 999?  IP addresses could go all the
 way to 999.999.999.999 and still be 3-digits per octet.

 We wouldn't even have to modify much code.  How many times have you
 see a perl script that uses \d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3} as the
 regular expression for matching IP addresses?  Tons of code assumes 3
 digits per octet.  None of that would have to change.

 We can get a few more bits another way.  Why not steal bits from the
 port number?  We used to think we needed 64k different ports.
 However, now we really only need port 80.  Instant Message tunnels
 over port 80, so does nearly every important new protocol.  Why not
 just reclaim those bits and use them for addresses?  Instant address
 extension!

I (unfortunately) cannot get native IPv6 from my ISP at this time, but do
have several tunnels set up using Hurricane Electric's excellent tunnel
brokerage service. All my local systems are dual-stack, my public access
server has a routed /48 that I use to broker my own tunnels for devices
(like my Motorola Droid cell phone). IPv6 is the future, and it is coming.
As Valdis said, why try to extend the life of an effectively dead
technology, and an inferior one at that. With IPSec compliance integrated
into the protocol itself, and the hundreds of other benefits, why try to
morph an old technology? In with the new, out with the old. IPv4 is very
soon to be a completely dead beast, and we'll be all the better for it. This
is the age of the internet, everything is interconnected. There is no
possible way for v4 to keep up with the growth of this era.

 I hate to say this, but all of you who are actually thinking about stealing
 bits from IPv4 headers when IPv6 is already here: Look who started the ONE
