hmm, the renewal for is2000slash12announcedagain.com is up again I think a 700+ day run is a good enough sign that we have successfully avoided this failure mode for the forseeable future. I was told by one particular T1 that the existence of this site was the strongest motivation to fix everything in their setup that was+could cause them to announce a IPv6 /12. Seems like it worked! Time to let the domain lapse as it's done it's job
Has 2000::/12 been announced again?
Not yet!

@eta To be fair the kodi boxes are increasingly organised crime coded, but yeah. At RIPE someone rep-ing the football rights holder had a short (and honestly, unactionable) talk about how they were annoyed that whois was not good enough to always identify the people behind such operations https://ripe89.ripe.net/archives/video/1448/ The next day was a talk about what happens when you give companies the access they want (In this case, Italy) https://ripe89.ripe.net/archives/video/1496/

@tmcfarlane Yeah it does have a little suspicious vibes in that regard, but I assume it's possible (A mini HN comment thread popped up on exactly this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42083019) to consent to such things, and I suppose there is a realistic need to have some real human skulls as specimens
I must say, going into the business of selling real human skulls, and then deciding on skullsunlimited.com as a domain is a particular kind of person. I want to meet this person (under the promise they wont do anything to my currently-in-use skull)
"The thing that nobody tells you is that you can buy a real human skull online (shoutout to skullsunlimited.com). We did that, and then CT scanned it."

@alyx Most of the old ones were handed to me at various events, I think the congestion was from CCCamp (to be honest it's not even accurate anymore, Cogent is fine :tm: at the moment, Need to find a newer, more relevant version)
A new laptop means that some very difficult decisions need to be made, not the hostname, or the OS setup, that's all easy. It's the stickers. (Apart from the Cyber tape that is a critical feature) (Old laptop for comparison)

Always impressed to see the Jehovah's Witnesses of all religions have a surprisingly (to me at least) large BGP network footprint. You just have to figure out all of the names JW operates under. But like, AS52887 (Associação Torre de Vigia de Bíblias e Tratados), All of these have their own IP space assets, and decent-ish uplink setups, IX ports, etc Like the dutch entity https://bgp.tools/as/51752 has it's own RIPE LIR, 2x10G IX ports, and 3x Teir 1 uplinks!
AS54235 (Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Canada),
AS61266 (Jehovas Zeugen in Deutschland, K.d.O.R.),
AS62244 (Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Britain),
AS55891 (WATCH TOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY, Japan)
AS9454 (Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Korea),
AS28466 (La Torre del Vigia A.R./JW Mexico),
AS51752 (Wachttoren-, Bijbel en Traktaatgenootschap Kerkgenootschap),
AS40335 (Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.),

It's stupid that to buy lunch without a drink sometimes comes out to be more expensive because of this. Sigh.
Weirdly the thing that is increasingly putting me off from drinking a bottle of soda every single day via the Tesco meal deal (or similar) is not the clearly bad idea of consuming that much sugar every single day, but the huge piles of plastic bottles that slowly accumulate in my flats "recycling" bin. Especially since as far as I can understand recycling these bottles is very tricky and in practice is not really done...

datasheet suggests average switching time of 3ms, worst case 10ms Unsure, i've yet to get this unit working Yeah optical bypass protection still is used in some kit, though this being multimode only, is a little more limited use case (hence the reason I likely have it now)
How many packets are dropped during switchover?
Does switching one way vs. the other have a different latency?
Do people still use something like this these days?
Continuing my connoisseur-ness of weird stuff, I have been given a old OPB-SCE8K-MM to play with from a old cisco SCE8000 optical chassis. The purpose is so that you can electrically (5 volts by the look of it) swap two (850nm in this case) optical paths, so if you were adding a interception/firewall in or something and wanted automatic redundancy or hands free control. I need to figure out what the pin out of the connector is, so I can drive it without the rest of the SCE8000, but interesting how clean it is inside, also that the actual PCB inside the cisco branded unit doesnt seem to be made by cisco!

I've not used snapchat in ages, but looking back I kinda do miss the goofy location based overlays they had, they were nice for "documenting" your photo roll on where you were/what the context was For example, a random one I picked out in 2017 that gives me context that I was sailing that day
Very considerate for con crud to kick in after I get home rather than during the multi city/conference adventure

@MarcinGondek I think basically all U.3 drives are fine because of the market they are intended for, I don't really have any good suggestions for M.2, but I bought a load of cheap Intel consumer ones and calculated that I could destroy it in less than ~10 hours of workload at the worst case. Micron 7450 Pro/Max SKUs seem like a good call but I've never deployed them personally, I've just opted for U.3/U.2 drives instead

@dee yeah I am amazed that more people dont realise that shampoo behaves quite differently with hard water vs soft. I joke with my mum (who now lives somewhere that has ultra-soft water) that we need a "water hardener" unit installed that is just basically pumping the water through a block of limestone to have usable tea

I've resigned to the idea that I will not be able to transition away from preferring "dirt water earl grey" taste wise
After like 3 weeks away in North America/CZ it's lovely to be back to the London/South England water that tastes "like someone dumped a bunch of soil in it, pumped right through the tap" (It makes a massive difference to what Earl Grey tastes like)

The trains seem to know where they are based on RFID tags on the tracks, and wifi back to the overall signaling controller, 10/10 nerd snipe in trying to figure out how any of this stuff works (the actual locomotives appear to be battery powered)

@jesopo it's fine they are just having their yearly catastrophic outage, it's part of what they do! They get pent up, do a big outage, and that uses up their outage budget for the rest of the year!
