Remember when in December I had a bit of a debug session why I couldn't reach my monitoring server via from a DTAG internet line?

Well, this later motivated @domi to dig a bit deeper and it ended up with @q3k sending some emails to EPIX, DTAG and Lumen about it, as it was obviously a bigger issue of an entire /32 IPv6 prefix from Lumen not being accepted by DTAG.

The issue ended up being escalated multiple times and it seemed to take them quite a while to figure out what was wrong.

But as of today (or recently, today is when I got note of it), it works!
DTAG now accepts the 2a0d:eb00::/32 prefix, which they previously rejected due to, supposedly, an incorrectly documented Lumen AS-SET in the RIPE DB.

This is certainly not the escalation I expected after I connect to my server back then neobot_giggle

I was wondering when a reporter would uncover this.

So BitLocker is super secure, right? Well... BitLocker recovery keys are backed up to Microsoft's Cloud - and they give them out to law enforcement on request. Using the BitLocker recovery key, you can just unlock the device without a PIN etc.

Microsoft and BitLocker: If you have access to keys, eventually governments are going to come. And MS provided the keys https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2026/01/22/microsoft-gave-fbi-keys-to-unlock-bitlocker-encrypted-data/

We made good progress on automated hardware testing in postmarketOS, resulting in being able to run pmaports changes on a real OP6T! Thanks to everybody who donated to postmarketOS or contributed their time to make this possible! โค๏ธ

@lkundrak anyone can do better, because you don't really need to know anything

there is no shame in not knowing so just open a bug report if you're unsure, it wastes less time for everyone

@karolherbst @VarLad And I'd argue that saying "getting rid of xyz dictator is against international law!!" is being completely stupid and completely missing the point, especially if said dictator was actually acting against international law anyway

@karolherbst @VarLad I mean, criticism is valid, but accusing leaders of doing the same thing you do is simply being a hypocrite. (sadly I see that a lot these days, not just iran but many others too)

โš ๏ธ Update: remains in the midst of a national internet blackout in its third week at hour 348 with only a slight rise in overall connectivity and tunneled users. There are indications of an attempt to generate false traffic and manufacture narratives of a wider restoration.

@VarLad @karolherbst don't really like tankies and any derivative TBH..

And besides, Iran being against US/israel does not make them the best country ever either (saying this as a pro-palestinian person who hates genocide and war in general)

(though I will note that the reason why iran is now under totalitarian regime is partly because of the US and GB wanting iranian oil and causing instability in what was back then much more democratic than it is today, and that was the perfect time for some ill-intentioned totalitarians to coup and setup such a regime, who are now the "Iran leaders" we know today. Half-ironic they don't like the US tbh :p)

The world is so messed up it's hard to ignore
