domi@donotsta.rehey-ho! i have a weird suspicion that in the perspective of 2-3 months i’ll be actively looking for a job (so not YET, but with how the market is looking like, I prefer to announce myself ahead of time)
are YOU looking for…
- a system administrator (linux, a tad rusty at windows server, learning OpenBSD and NetBSD)?
- a network administrator (touched too many vendors’ tech to list, implemented IP stacks for shits and giggles, helped run an AS)?
- a technical writer?
- a digital archivist?
- someone who knows WAY TOO MUCH about shell scripting?
- (this list is incomplete)
if so, then please get in touch! CV available upon request. part time / flexible hours preferred, I want enough funds to stay afloat, not to get rich (read: i’m exceptionally cheap) #GetFediHired

set up the internet at my new place today, and for some stupid reason the idiots didn’t give me any v6 addresses? v6 has existed for 30 years now and we ran out of v4 addresses like 10 years ago? I knew v6 adoption is horrible but like, how the fuck are people supposed to switch if isps won’t give you any v6 addresses? and why does a 10gbps fiber plan not have that when we have like 286278362 bajillion addresses total so it would be basically free for them, much much cheaper at least than the non cgnat v4 address they gave me
and fyi the isp is galaxus, with them using sunrise infra in the background in my case. and I know about init7 but I don’t wanna pay 30chf extra for the same thing (in theory faster max real world speeds since it’s a dedicated line instead of shared but eh, nothing gives you 10gbps yet anyway) but with v6 support and I also have to pay for the router myself

noisytootand you get the security issues of having no firmware patches on top of that.
Usually this is an issue for microcode updates specifically. Generally other than that either firmware has to be loaded or whatever peripheral it’s for won’t work at all, or it’s in EEPROM and firmware loading isn’t needed. I think applying microcode updates should be the job of the boot firmware rather than the operating system, but unfortunately proprietary firmware often doesn’t have up-to-date microcode so I can see why people want microcode loading by the kernel. Most of my computers run coreboot which loads microcode updates itself, so I don’t need the kernel to do that. (and I would recommend installing coreboot if it supports your hardware)
