[00:33] ahh you don't need to be an isp to get .net in nz [00:33] i hate the idea of being an organisation or a company [00:33] i figure network is more generic :) [02:14] *** mnathani_ has quit IRC (Read error: No route to host) [02:17] *** mnathani_ has joined #arpnetworks [04:14] *** LT has joined #arpnetworks [05:47] plett, you'd think wouldn't you :P [05:47] LCN will give me one, just not cheaply [05:48] although, a .net is just as viable - and more expensive [05:48] .me.uk are fun for networking mind [05:48] grody: Every .net.uk application is manually reviewed by nominet. You really do have to be an ISP to get one. [05:49] hmm [05:49] must have changed in the last couple of years [05:49] And it is only for the ISP's infrastructure, you can't host anything customer on a .net.uk domain [05:50] Nope, it's always been that way [05:50] That's why the AAISP wiki which customers can edit is on an aa.org.uk subdomain, not .net.uk [05:51] so all i have to do is get a /32 of IPv6 & provide services like HE.net [05:51] :) [05:52] ahh, LCN will let me have a .net [05:52] not even showing up .net.uk [05:52] now i want that.. sofakingfast.net [05:52] 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 [05:53] And being an LIR means a EUR1300/year invoice from RIPE [05:53] yea sod that :D [05:53] £10 for two years on a .net - odd that LCN isn't even offering .net.uk [05:54] 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 [05:55] :) [05:55] Any registrar who can register a .co.uk can request a .net.uk via exactly the same mechanism [05:55] reminds me actually.. i need to shuffle some domains on my AA [05:56] and somehow get rDNS working off my DNS [05:56] w/o exposing myself [06:07] plett: that sounds annoying [06:07] so if you're in RIPE land can you just get ARIN space? [06:08] the whole regionality of address space seems a bit iffy to me [06:09] i suppose it's moot now in a way, as ip addresses have run out :/ [06:12] mercutio: Nope. ARIN won't allocate space to an entity in the RIPE region for use in that region [06:12] google et al use ARIN space around the world [06:13] Google aren't a company in the RIPE region, using IPs solely within that region [06:13] For multinationals, you can pretty much get IPs from whoever you feel like dealing with [06:13] so for international companies they can choose where they get space? [07:31] curious question .. would ARP & AA be able to allow me to source my ARP range out of AA and vice-versa? [07:31] IPv6* [07:39] *** mjp__ has joined #arpnetworks [07:40] No [07:40] It just doesn't work that way :) [07:41] maybe just get a /32 and peer with yas instead [07:41] Without being an LIR you'd have to justify getting anything larger than a /48 [07:41] nah too much effort - it's easy enough relocating IPs with tunnels these days [07:41] *** KDE_Perr1 has joined #arpnetworks [07:41] at cost of latency [07:41] *** gizmoguy_ has joined #arpnetworks [07:44] *** RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) [07:44] *** KDE_Perry has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) [07:44] *** meingtsla has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) [07:44] *** mjp_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) [07:44] *** gizmoguy has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) [07:44] *** tellnes has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) [07:44] *** brycec has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) [07:44] *** meingtsla has joined #arpnetworks [07:44] *** meingtsla has quit IRC (Changing host) [07:44] *** meingtsla has joined #arpnetworks [07:45] *** brycec has joined #arpnetworks [07:46] *** tellnes has joined #arpnetworks [12:23] *** LT has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [14:53] who was talking about the fonts being insecure thing? [14:54] was that before or after this recent code execution font vulnerability on windows? [14:54] oh i think it was mike-burns [15:17] It was mike-burns [15:18] 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 [15:18] yeh there's a new vulnerability out today [15:18] What a timely comment in that case :-) [15:19] 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 [20:16] *** Guest15855 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) [22:12] how much c would I have to learn to contribute something meaningful towards the linux kernel? [22:14] heaps [22:15] 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.
