Mon Sep 24 20:45:51 2007 GMT: edge.cmeerw.net Moved
As mentioned some time ago, I have now moved edge.cmeerw.net to a new (virtual) home. This means that I have also enabled my SixXS IPv6 tunnel and tried to enable all services for IPv6. As expected, there were a few minor issues: the PAM rhosts module doesn't support IPv6, jabberd2' IP-based access control lists can't be configured with IPv6 addresses (will need to send a small patch) and mcabber doesn't support IPv6. And btw, my own SIPFwd also doesn't support IPv6 yet...

More bad news from Alcatel-Lucent: see IHT: Alcatel-Lucent revises sales forecast a third time, AP/Yahoo: Alcatel shares tumble on revenue outlook and FT: Russo under pressure at Alcatel.
Also note that there appears to be a trend to drop the "Lucent" from Alcatel-Lucent...

I have added a few pictures of my recent holiday in Belgium to my digital photo album: see Oostende and Brussels and Bruegge.
Sat Sep 01 18:19:33 2007 GMT: IPv4 Address Exhaustion Panic
It has been pretty quiet over IPv4 address space shortage issues during the past few years, but this is apparently about to change: see The Return of the IPv4 Shortage or Net "out of IPv4 addresses by 2011" says Cerf.
Although this is just a few years away, IPv6 is still now widely supported to say the least. In fact, as a consumer it's still pretty difficult to get any kind of IPv6 connectivity - only a select few ISPs already support (native) IPv6 and web hosters appear to still completely ignore IPv6. Well, this is one of the reasons for moving edge.cmeerw.net to a new virtual server in the next few weeks - this time based on Xen with at least IPv6 tunneling support (my current Virtuozzo-based vServer doesn't support IPv6 at all).
Tue Aug 28 18:50:04 2007 GMT: Open Source Hosting That Sucks Less
ETH Zürich offers free hosting of open (and closed) source software projects on its Origo platform. The interesting thing here is that it is not based on any Sourceforge branch, but is built on a Drupal frontend and their own peer-to-peer based backend written in Eiffel. BTW, the Drupal frontend makes it quite similar to my own DevCorner.
