pleia2helizabeth@r2d2:~$ host -t aaaa ubuntu-california.org01:21
pleia2ubuntu-california.org has IPv6 address 2600:3c03::f03c:91ff:fe96:f4c401:21
pleia2\o.01:21
* pleia2 sees some ipv6 addresses she doesn't recognize in the apache logs \o/01:29
* iheartubuntu thinks dave better attend the "burnout" session. he checkmarked "all of the above" on the pdf17:17
seidoswuzzat dave?  asks HAL-900017:19
pleia2iheartubuntu: thanks for updating twitter17:21
pleia2:)17:21
iheartubuntunp!17:21
iheartubuntui never did ask, should i do the posts for the IRC meetings too?17:21
pleia2I think DarkwingDuck and I have those covered17:22
iheartubuntuseidos: computing... computing...17:22
iheartubuntuok coolness17:22
akkIf "ping6 -c 5 ubuntu-california.org" says "network unreachable", that means my router or my ISP isn't IPv6 ready?17:24
pleia2yeah17:25
sn9crap, my he.net stuff won't be ready in time for ipv6 day17:25
pleia2http://test-ipv6.com/ will tell you if you have ipv6 connectivity17:26
sn9oh well, at least i'm doing stuff17:26
pleia2sn9: ipv6 day started 16.5 hours ago :)17:26
sn9right17:26
pleia2I have an he.net tunnel running on my firewall/2nd desktop, so only that machine on my network has ipv617:26
akkActually given that we got our DSL cablemodem something like 8 years ago, I guess I shouldn't be surprised if IPv6 doesn't work.17:27
pleia2most ISPs in the US haven't rolled it out, and there are only a handful of consumer routers that support it17:28
sn9i am trying to migrate dns hosting to he.net in the same step17:28
pleia2you would have gotten a new modem within the past year or so if your isp was rolling it out17:28
pleia2sn9: ah :)17:28
sn9editdns and everydns are going away17:28
sn9although i might still go back to zoneedit17:29
pleia2I use linode's dns manager for most everything now17:29
pleia2my sister uses zoneedit, she seems to like them17:29
sn9but what i see of he.net's dns manager so far i mostly like17:29
sn9i switched away from zoneedit because they wouldn't support SRV records for google apps17:30
pleia2ah17:30
sn9they are starting to support them now17:30
pleia2I know a lot of the free dns providers weren't offering aaaa records for a while17:31
iheartubuntuso do you go into your network settings in ubuntu and also change the ipv6 settings?17:32
iheartubuntui think google offered its own settings, didnt they? i tried something out months ago and it was blocking websites17:32
pleia2iheartubuntu: for a tunnel?17:32
iheartubuntuim not that knowledgeable on the topic... but i was adding in a ipv4 or ipv6 address17:33
iheartubuntuOMG addressed it like late last year17:34
pleia2to use ipv6 your isp needs to support it, comcast has done a few trials around the country and a couple small ISPs have deployed it17:34
iheartubuntuit must have been ipv4 then17:34
pleia2so you'll get a new modem and you'll need to replace your router at home17:34
iheartubuntuso i was bypassing my ISP and using googles?17:34
akkWeird that big ISPs still aren't getting to it.17:34
iheartubuntuwhat is ipv6 supposed to do?17:35
pleia2google doesn't offer tunnels, you think for a while you could sign up to be part of their trial where they'd always try to serve you their ipv6 page first, but w/o ipv6 you'd just fall back to ipv617:35
pleia2akk: it's complicated :( comcast has been pouring tons of money into it and they are actually transit providers for IPv6 in the midwest, but it's super expensive to deploy to customers because most sites online still don't support ipv6 so they need to offer both AND have their customers have ipv6 enabled routers17:36
pleia2most big ISPs are just going to send their customers over a NAT to stretch out their pool of ipv4 addresses, which will be a nightmware too (particularly for support), but doesn't require replacing all hardware17:37
pleia2iheartubuntu: the world ran out of ipv4 addresses earlier this year, ipv6 is a much much larger addressspace, so we shouldn't run out :)17:37
iheartubuntuahh ok17:38
iheartubuntuare there any benefits like speed17:38
pleia2not speed17:38
pleia2it was actually designed for the modern internet though (ipv6 was not) so it has things like better header data, is more easily extendable and in theory better security17:39
pleia2a google search for "advantages of ipv6" can find articles that explain these things more thoroughly than I can though :)17:40
nhainespleia2: you keep saying ipv6 when I think you mean ipv4.17:42
pleia2err, yeah, (ipv4 was not)17:42
nhainesIPv6 is more secure because no one understands the new addressing scheme so it's harder to hack you.17:43
akkheh17:43
pleia2pratically we were running out of space anyway so while we're changing it it all we might as well add new shiny bits to it as well to make the internet better17:43
pleia2haha17:43
nhainespleia2: is there an evil bit in IPv6?17:44
pleia2there is always an evil bit17:44
pleia2I mean, of course not, ipv6 is the best thing ever and all good and ponies :)17:44
nhainesRFC 3514 came out at just the right time during my networking classes to enjoy and share with the class.  :)17:45
pleia2hehe17:45
pleia2we had a talk at plug once about all the april fools rfcs17:45
pleia2good times17:45
seidosconnected vs unconnected might be considered a "speed" improvement17:49
nhainesI also loved IP over avian carrier, but my CCNA teacher scoffed when, a couple years later, the article came out that some students had actually implemented it and sent ICMP ECHO packets.17:50
nhainesIP via avian carrier is also affected by collisions and congestion, but it also implements self-correcting routing and the roundtrip ping time was something like 3.5 hours.  :)17:51
pleia2hehe17:51
crashsystemsdon't want to play WOW over that connection17:55
iheartubuntuno?17:55
iheartubuntucomputer joke: A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?17:55
iheartubuntuASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI!17:56
akkAs they say, IPvAvian can have fairly good bandwidth but the latency is terrible.17:57
nhainesNever underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of backup tapes speeding down the highway.18:00
nhainesakk: IPvAvian is also affected by worms.18:08
iheartubuntuseidos anyone else here who might attend the Pasadena Ubuntu Hour this thurs... aftwards is the monthly SGVLUG meeting at Cal Tech which will have a presentation from the Cal Tech Solar Decathlon discussing solar energy and solar powered net-zero house.19:20
seidosiheartubuntu: i don't think so19:27
iheartubuntui gonna be there for the UH but not the LUG19:29
seidosi'd like to be there, but getting there is a problem for me right now19:36
seidosmaybe i should just watch real genius19:37
seidoswhy would someone need a laser with that kind of power that only lasts for 14 seconds anyway?19:37
seidos:P19:37
dragonI just heard again from my army friend. The Commanding Officer of his chalk has made Linux mandatory for all work computers.23:12
kdubwhats a chalk23:13
dragonIt's a unit of the size of about a company.23:13
dragonIt is a company, basically, of about 60-80.23:14
kdubthats pretty cool. the military has been saying they're switching over for some time now23:18
kdubjono: looking forward to that presentation tomorrow23:19
* kdub feels oss burnout :(23:20
* pleia2 hugs kdub 23:20
kdubhaha, thanks pleia223:20
pleia2:)23:21
nhainesOSS isn't a way of life, it's just a set of really handy tools.23:21
nhainesSo take a step back, a deep breath, and enjoy the technology.  :)23:21
nhainesAll the "fun" event stuff will still be around later.23:21
kdubright, of course. that statement probably had a sadder connotation than i actually wanted to convey :P23:36
kduberr, impression23:37
kdubi guess words have connotations, sentences have more of an impression23:37
nhainesSomething like that.  But we know what you meant.  :)23:44
