End of the year appears to have woken up networking folks trying to convince us that 2025 is definitely the year of
[#]IPv6!
If you believe so, help me collect services that are totally definitely available over IPv6, to show that v4 is legacy, and users can totally give it up!

@fastmail hey folks, any chance you could publish SPF records for the send-as-another-domain SMTP servers? I have a ticket open for nearly a week now, it's a bit annoying that if I try to send as my alias domain I just get rejection back because you send through an undocumented server :(

Defusing AGPL-3 With Batch Processing
Preamble: this is an intentionally incendiary post, you could even define it as trolling. I have been thinking whether to publish this for a while, as it is on the border of being the type of unkind post I wouldn't want to be associated with. But I decided to post this for two reasons: the first is that clearly a lot of people already know what I'm talking about, so it's not like I'm revealing some tightly-held secret, and the…

Stop Calling Them VPNs!
I keep complaining over and over about the marketing of tunnel services as "VPNs", so let me explain why I don't want anyone to call them that, and take a critical look at what utility they do provide, comparing to what they promise.

Cuteness Prowling
I found out it's International Red Panda Day! This cutie was prowling in Kobe Animal Kingdom — unfortunately I couldn't get a good picture of their tail, and none of them playing with their tails, but they're still a very cute and friendly-looking animal.

Don't judge from how much code I wrote but from how much I prevented from being written. Not from how much I learnt but how much I taught.
