I have this weird recurring alternate reality in my dreams where at some point in the process of absorbing #DynDNS, #Oracle just gave up and somehow I became in charge of it again. (Maybe in this reality Oracle never bought it? I'm not sure.)
I don't know what this says about me but crimping Cat 5 cables, especially if it's more than one and in a wiring closer, always brings back memories of our move to Level 3 in Boston (Cambridge) where we did our first "adult cabling".

For those who specialize in DHCPv6 and systemd: Is there a way to tell the DHCPv6 server "If this IP is available, just give me it, don't give me anything else", or at least get systemd to do that? I'm trying to make an oracle cloud instance running Arch+systemd-networkd that uses DHCPv6 for IP configuration only use one of two IPs assigned to the oracle instance, but leave the other one unused so I can do NDP proxying and route it to my laptop over wireguard, giving my laptop a public IPv6 address as a result, but it appears that oracle is forcing my VPS to use both IPv6 addresses, which is not what I want.
Redacted logs, for context:
Jun 18 06:08:27 somewhere systemd-networkd[-1]: eth0: DHCPv6 address 2000::4201/128 (valid for 1d 5
9min 59s, preferred for 23h 59min 59s)
Jun 18 06:08:27 somewhere systemd-networkd[-1]: eth0: DHCPv6 address 2000::1337/128 (valid for 1d 5
9min 59s, preferred for 23h 59min 59s)
Feel free to boost this for increased visibility if you wish, and if you know of any mailing lists or IRC channels I should ask on, please let me know.

@w7voa Why? That's what the technofascists want.
@kobilacroix or where #Billionaires managed to dumb down & #downgrade people's education that "#AI" becomes their new #Oracle and #Priest that controls them!
@DenOfEarth @ytc1 @aka_pugs well #WindowsNT owned the workstation market because #Vendors like #SGI & #Sun failed to innovate...
#SunMicrosystems at least didn't stall in terms of #Software, but once #Oracle acqured them and started shaking down Sun Technology users for "#IP infringement" and "License Violations" they basically made using anythibg but #Linux a bad choice on #Servers!
@ytc1 @DenOfEarth @aka_pugs I know.
And espechally in #ScientificComputing a lot of researchers loved working with #SunMicrosystems and when #Oracle took over that relationship got sour'd instantly due to #Oracle #CEO #LarryEllison...

One of the big successes of #Sun was that they basically declared a unilateral "ceasefire" in terms of #IP & #Patents re: #OpenSource. Whereas Oracle didn't seem willing to honour that.
Obviously #Linux with it's #GPLv2only-Kernel and most of it's Userland could not get 'closed-sourced' like #OpenSolaris which instantly got stomped out by Oracle as they wanted to sqeeze #Solaris for profits and milk their clients in typical Oracle fashion...
Now granted, I do know someone who for most of their life made their money dealing with the intricacies of setting up #postfix, #sendmail and #courier #MailServers on Solaris and if I ask said person about that they give me a kilometer stare, so OFC like a #SysV - #Unix systems Solaris and #SunOS really are one of the reasons #WindowsNT won the "#WorkstationWar" and why - if anyone - #Apple won the last "#UnixWar"...
@skry all the more reason to keep #boycotting #Amazon. There surely must be better solutions than #Oracle out there for storing and managing data, I'd imagine.
@aka_pugs I loved #OpenSolaris, and I'm still mad at #FTC & @EUCommission for allowing #Oracle to buy #Sun!

@queen_fennec , @bert_hubert , ik ben gevraagd om een presentatie van #Oracle bij te wonen over hun aanbod voor #soevereinecloud . En ja, dat klinkt net zo vegan kipfilet als die van Microsoft. Zijn er nog interessante vragen die ik bij die meeting zou kunnen stellen?
The US taxpayer is going to be on the hook for all the soldiers, tanks, and planes that appear in Donald Trump’s military parade.
But several major tech companies are paying for the festivities along the parade route.
According to recent statements from America250, #Oracle, #Amazon, #Coinbase, #Lockheed Martin, and #Palantir are some of the highest-profile sponsors to the #America250 Foundation,
the congressionally appointed nonprofit in charge of raising funds to celebrate the upcoming US Semiquincentennial.
Although the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence will take place next year — July 4th, 2026 — America250,
which is co-chaired by former US Treasury Secretary Rosie Rios and Trump’s former co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita,
is handling spectator logistics,
as well as a festival, for the controversial military parade taking place this Saturday

@BenBen @fabiscafe @okapi @chesheer I don't deny this to be a problem, far from it.
init (and Userland in general) as well as Kernel didn't matter and merely be a different config file.In reality, a substantial part of #Gnome devs (or at least contributors) are paid by the 3 major #Linux distros (#RHEL, #SLED, #Ubuntu) and whilst not being antragonistic towards #BSD|s don't get employed to enshure it runs on #FreeBSD, but that it runs better on the distro their employer is selling…
OFC it's saddening in regards to non-Linux #Unix-esque OSes, but given self-amplifying network effects both the murder of #OpenSolaris at the hands of #Oracle (with @EUCommission and #FTC as enablers!) and @iXsystems ditching #FreeBSD in #trueNAS alongside regressing #driver support for hardware outside of Linux, #macOS and #Windows, it's not a good time for these projects.
get gud '!You fucking donkeys! #oracle
This still nauseates me.

@BrodieOnLinux @qdot I find this to be the worst way to decide a #TechStack.
#NetworkEffects are #toxic when it comes to #SaaS and #proprietary shite, regardless if the bad guys are #discord, #Autodesk, #Adobe, #Apple or #Microsoft for that matter. (Don't even get me started on #SAP & #Oracle!)…

But if I was wrong, I 'd not be called upon as a Linux #Sysadmin and to act as "#BenevolentDictator" in terms of Tech Stack Decisions...
