I find myself realizing I’ll have to go probably to a fabric store to get some velcro tape. Why? To attach the RAID battery backup module in a 1U chassis. Why can’t they just include some of this with them?

I’ve been pretty swamped lately so I haven’t had any time to fire off an update. Trust me though, it’s not that there haven’t been update-worthy-goings-on.
I am therefore, .Fail.

Wow. So I got a second response almost immediately. With an explanation. I’m glad that clearly there’s been a change over there.

So, back in 05, I ordered a copy of The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy from Amazon. The book arrived. Sometime later I was reading it and discovered that, lo and behold, it was missing pages 529-560. After some consternation and thought I realized indeed the pages were gone. I wrote Del Rey books, [...]

Seriously. You’d think after all these years there’d be better tools than BGP and better tools for working with BGP. But no.

If a woman ever tells a man size doesn’t matter, she’s certainly not being truthful. Similarly anyone talking about packet sizes is also spinning a yarn.
Tunnels can and will reduce your MTU. A lot of consumer NAT devices don’t handle/pass along the ICMP Unreachable codes packet-too-big [...]

An open invitation to D-Link, NetGear, etc. DISABLE ANYTHING IN YOUR DAMNED ROUTERS THAT MIGHT FILTER ICMP UNREACHABLEs.
We’ve been seeing occasional problems with a tunnel “somewhere” on the internet getting into our path. It shouldn’t be a problem except that it seems a lot of firewalls still filter ICMP Unreachable’s at the least.
DON’T DO THAT.

OK so if you try to pronounce it incorrectly people might think you have a cold. The good news is though that Server Name Identification AKA TLS-SNI will likely be making it into Debian Lenny. It’s already in Apache 2.2.x upstream but there’s no release with it quite yet.
Now we can do SSL Names [...]
