kernel.embedromix.ro switched today completely to dual stack (IPv4/IPv6)

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0200

Hello and a happy new year! Today, kernel.embedromix.ro switched completely to dual stack. This means that mail, apache, bind etc. accept connections both from IPv4 hosts and IPv6 hosts. Please, let me know if you see problems with this setup. I use a 6to4 tunnel for connectivity and 192.88.99.1 host is pretty far away (Hungary) with a 30ms latency. My IPv6 address is 2002:524e:9006::1. Also, the reverse (6.0.0.9.e.4.2.5.2.0.0.2.ip6.arpa) was setup at http://6to4.nro.net/. Enjoy!

My 10th patch to Linux kernel was accepted upstream!

Great news for me. My 10th patch that adds support for a 4 port serial card was accepted in the Linus' git tree and very probably will hit 2.6.27. You can find the commit here and the discussion here. Many thanks to Alan Cox, Russell King and Andrey Panin!

We moved in our new house in Crizbav

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0300

We finally moved in our new house. It is not ready and the progress is slow but we are happy. Fresh air, nice view and very quiet. The Internet is still a problem unresolved yet. Also, no TV yet. But we have the laptop and we can see some movies.

Limited unlimited Internet

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0300

I need a solution for Internet access at my home. Just discovered that three providers offer "Unlimited Internet". Cool! But, the unlimited Internet is... limited! They have a traffic limit (some GiB)! Too bad that our consumer protection entity is too weak to force these providers to take out "unlimited" word from the advertising. It is very annoying. The providers are: Orange, Vodafone and Zapp.

Linux Kernel is loosing me :)

Orange GSM operator relays SPAM

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0300

Past days I have the unpleasant surprise to be bombed with a lot of political SMSes coming from 1868 short number. I called Orange at 411 and, surprise, surprise, they told me to just delete them and move on! As far as I know, after Romanian law, any electronically unsolicited message is illegal. Bad, Orange!
