@mkljczk hi autism

@maddy @lilynet336 I used to use an HE tunnel on my mail server when it didn't have native IPv6 on it. I configured getaddrinfo (via /etc/gai.conf) to prefer IPv4 to avoid the latency increase of going over the tunnel unnecessarily (which also has the side-effect of mitigating the Cogent/HE peering dispute for programs using libc functions for DNS resolution)

(In case you haven't heard of the Cogent/HE peering dispute, Cogent refuses to peer with HE on IPv6 (even after HE sent them a cake), and since they're both tier 1 ISPs (that don't pay anyone for transit), the result is that Cogent and HE are completely unreachable from reach other over IPv6)

good morning (it's 14:31)

good night. it's past sunrise

@nay I should also figure out what to do about cooling my power9 server (it does have cooling, but it sounds like a jet engine and will have to be in my bedroom). I was planning on getting some larger fans and taping them to the front with a cardboard funnel, but I'd need to figure out how to power them (I'm not sure if it's a standard fan connector, the fans are hot-swappable and certainly in a nonstandard form-factor) and even the PSU fans are annoying (they're tiny 1U fans, and I'm pretty sure every compatible PSU I could get to replace it would have equally annoying fans (it has two 1.4kW 1U PSUs, but only one is required and it probably won't actually use quite that much power unless I do something like filling all the PCIe slots with GPUs))

(but I will worry about that later, first I need to get it booting at all)

@hexaheximal surprising. of the 261 git repo clones I have on this computer, 163 (just over 62%) have at least one remote on github

@nay that is an unusual computer. how are you planning to cool it?

maybe eating a scone and a waffle at 3:15am instead of sleeping wasn't the greatest idea

@kemona_halftau yes

@stefano the photo did not federate to my instance

@hexaheximal you never need to clone anything from github?

@mkljczk github for lesbians

@thermia on akkoma the cat is just appearing out of nowhere from the orange portal
