#audio folks of bluesky - I am rebuilding an audio system after a couple of decades of not playing physical media. We have a lot of cassettes, records, and CDs. I have a decent sony CD player. Looking for recommendations on turntable, tuner/amp, cassette deck. Not opposed to vintage.

David Huberman from ICANN shared at #ABQNOG that the DNS root KSK rollover is October 11. Running a DNSSEC-validating resolver? Confirm KSK-2024 (key tag 38696) is in your trust anchors if not, every query SERVFAILs. Not the DNS gal or guy? Pass this along! www.icann.org/resources/pa...

New and *vastly* improved version of tiny-twamp is now available github.com/buraglio/tin... New features include actual RFC compliance with twamp-light (RFC 5637 §5), prometheus export, influxdb support, and a whole new binary release system. #latency #measurement #twamp

More information: it looks like there may be a possible issue with how the client iterates through a candidate list as v4, v6, v4, v6, but stops at the first success. Could be a problem for some NAT64 clients. Swapping the order might help, would follow RFC6724, and should use IPv6 when available.

Anyone have any insight on this behavior with the @tailscale.com client? I can't seem to replicate it with tailscale service, but it's really easy to reproduce with headscale. It *looks* like a client issue, but I'm still trying to understand the whole picture github.com/juanfont/hea...

2/2 Of course this can mostly kinda/sorta be worked around with CLAT and DNS64, but on containerization hosts that is less so, and more complexity than is necessary. come on, GitHub. Your IPv6 readiness and the windows CLAT are the in the last few big pieces.

020

Nick Buraglio @forwardingplane.net · 27/05/2026

More and more I am finding that the single largest technical impediment to #IPv6 deployment is the fact that #Github has no IPv6. Lack of an IPv6 endpoint not only hinders development work, it really makes working with containerization images and platforms almost prohibitively frustrating. 1/2

Added a host of new features to the IPv6 performance test site at www.ipv6.army It now does an evaluation of IPv4 vs IPv6 and allows for browser locaStorage of results with trending over time. The description of tests should be quite comprehensive, as well, accounting for a bunch of nuance. #ipv6
