Today I learned that Tor directory authorities have a German translation called “Verzeichnis-Aufsichtsstellen” :neofox_sob:

Anyone wants to host an overlay IPv6 only network with a fully independent infrastructure, including independent root DNS, where we host all the cool services for ourselves, stop worrying all day about scalability, security, containerization, etc. and just have fun instead? Would of course only work with cool creatures where a certain level of trust is already established.

2026 has been a pretty rough year for me in terms of finding motivation for computer touching :neofox_sad:

/halfserious /halfjoking

Is anyone aware of a symmetric parser for serializing and deserializing binary formats with Rust? :boost_ok:

Ideally something like Kaitai or Python’s construct.

I also played a bit with binrw and deku but I am not a big fan of their interface.

Escaping to CH during a public holiday on a Saturday in DE turned out to be a good idea as having to plan my food two days in advance is a nightmare :neofox_woozy:

Still unsure on whether I should use as211370.net as my general purpose infra domain or not, given that technically not all of my hosts are part of this AS :neofox_woozy:

Yet, coming up with a cooler domain is hard.

last day of the summer probably :3

By the way, what is the current consensus on using GPG for symmetric encryption? I have a few archives encrypted symmetrically because I intend to store them very long termish.

Rrrrrrrrr 💖🦊✨🐾

Can we make this the network transbian pride flag? Here is my attempt at least :3

AS211370 and AS218679 (@domi) are now peering in my living room. This makes AS211370 a Tier2 ISP and my living room an IX. :neofox_thumbsup:

Ironically, this is my only domain with DNSSEC. :neofox_woozy:

I finally need to get around to set this up for my other domains too :P

PSA: My website is now also available under an alternative canonical domain, namely https://clarawr.de.

Following the shutdown of autistici.org, I have decided to have a fallback domain[^1] where the respective registry is not U.S. based and where I will most likely continue to meet the registration requirements, in the case that the registry hypothetically tightens the requirements in the future, thereby making .de the most reasonable choice.

Also, this domain is purposely not registered at Porkbun (where I usually register domains), nor does it use my own name servers, but rather uses INWX, in order to also have resilience/redundancy there.

Unfortunately, I am not sure if that will really hold if shit gets serious, as in the past, many non-U.S. based registrars have followed orders from the U.S., like Montenegro with the blocking of Telegram’s t.me domain …

[^1]: Technically, I also have an onion and in-addr.arpa mirror but I do not consider these URLs canonical/stable for my usecase, but rather a nice feature.

Began reading myself into the .name drama that started a few days ago.

To be fair: I think that the firstname.lastname.name idea paired with the concept of no one owning the second-level domain is actually very cool[^1], as it theoretically allows so many individuals to have individual domains plus email addresses, with a lower risk of overlaps. They should have never allowed second-level registrations in the first place, as that is what it made it unique IMO. Very sad to see this disappearing and solidarity with the folks who will lose their domain in February.

[^1]: If it were not for the fact that firstname/lastname combinations have many real world short-comings alongside being very western centric.

I also hate when this happens with tarballs.

I should replace the CNAME with an AAAA record to be even more absurd.

I can’t resolve that through Tor. What an irony.

My website is now available on http://cve.115.30.44.in-addr.arpa :neofox_blep:

So far, no TLS as I still have to figure out a provider that supports it. Cloudflare no longer does apparently T.T

Finally acquired control of the reverse DNS zone of my IPv4 subnet through a zone delegation. :neofox:

Now I have to resist the urge to setup A/AAAA records inside. :neofox_blush:
