mercutio: i hate the idea of being an organisation or a company
i figure network is more generic :) ***: mnathani_ has quit IRC (Read error: No route to host)
mnathani_ has joined #arpnetworks
LT has joined #arpnetworks grody: plett, you'd think wouldn't you :P
LCN will give me one, just not cheaply
although, a .net is just as viable - and more expensive
.me.uk are fun for networking mind plett: grody: Every .net.uk application is manually reviewed by nominet. You really do have to be an ISP to get one. grody: hmm
must have changed in the last couple of years plett: And it is only for the ISP's infrastructure, you can't host anything customer on a .net.uk domain
Nope, it's always been that way
That's why the AAISP wiki which customers can edit is on an aa.org.uk subdomain, not .net.uk grody: so all i have to do is get a /32 of IPv6 & provide services like HE.net
:)
ahh, LCN will let me have a .net
not even showing up .net.uk
now i want that.. sofakingfast.net plett: In RIPE Land, your /32 would have to be PA so you can sub-allocated it to customers, which means you need to be an LIR
And being an LIR means a EUR1300/year invoice from RIPE grody: yea sod that :D
£10 for two years on a .net - odd that LCN isn't even offering .net.uk plett: Since the only people who can get .net.uk are ISPs, they normally know who to ask to get one and don't need it listed on web pages grody: :) plett: Any registrar who can register a .co.uk can request a .net.uk via exactly the same mechanism grody: reminds me actually.. i need to shuffle some domains on my AA
and somehow get rDNS working off my DNS
w/o exposing myself mercutio: plett: that sounds annoying
so if you're in RIPE land can you just get ARIN space?
the whole regionality of address space seems a bit iffy to me
i suppose it's moot now in a way, as ip addresses have run out :/ plett: mercutio: Nope. ARIN won't allocate space to an entity in the RIPE region for use in that region mercutio: google et al use ARIN space around the world plett: Google aren't a company in the RIPE region, using IPs solely within that region
For multinationals, you can pretty much get IPs from whoever you feel like dealing with mercutio: so for international companies they can choose where they get space? grody: curious question .. would ARP & AA be able to allow me to source my ARP range out of AA and vice-versa?
IPv6* ***: mjp__ has joined #arpnetworks plett: No
It just doesn't work that way :) grody: maybe just get a /32 and peer with yas instead plett: Without being an LIR you'd have to justify getting anything larger than a /48 grody: nah too much effort - it's easy enough relocating IPs with tunnels these days ***: KDE_Perr1 has joined #arpnetworks grody: at cost of latency ***: gizmoguy_ has joined #arpnetworks

LT has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) mercutio: who was talking about the fonts being insecure thing?
was that before or after this recent code execution font vulnerability on windows?
oh i think it was mike-burns kellytk: It was mike-burns
mercutio: I don't recall exactly when his comment was made, however I've known fonts to be a vulnerability surface for quite a while mercutio: yeh there's a new vulnerability out today kellytk: What a timely comment in that case :-)
FWIW, I've ultimately decided the security benefit of allowing only email address auth was worth the UX tradeoff in not allowing usernames for auth ***: Guest15855 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) mnathani_: how much c would I have to learn to contribute something meaningful towards the linux kernel? mercutio: heaps
linux is pretty mature, and there's quite a lot of learned knowledge/experience you should have before wanting to do stuff with it probably.
