I am lowkey having too much fun converting 8 character strings into hexadecimal for use with the Host-ID-Part of a IPv6 Adress with a /64 Prefix

Fedi send me your funniest things you would use I guess.

#networking #ipv6

Mine is now GGOLENN or -> ::4747:4f4c:4c45:4e4e as I get /64 prefixes with my ISP

@Johann150 @rick I did end up using GGOLLENN btw silly me

@Johann150

@rick already thought of acab 4 times, which I will not But asking a text to Hexadecimal I could use

LightNov -> 4c69:6768:744e:6f76

Though yours is even sillier...

or something like blobfox with two 00 in front like: 0062:6c6f:6266:6f78

gotta love silly stuff in networking. I deserve some sillyness after all that work

@Johann150 learned many things for sure. Now I am thinking about something silly I could assign as a Host-ID.

@Johann150 dunno if you are interested in this Johann or not, but I will post anyway. I have found a solution for giving out the same host adress. According to serverfault there are quite some of them. Even with systemd (version 250 or newer but Ubuntu 22.04 LTS has only 249 lol)

So I used nmcli as described here: https://serverfault.com/a/968644 Though I could not use the device name and had to use the NAME of the Connection in NetworkManager- Mine being "Wired Connection 1"

But there are other solutions as well: https://serverfault.com/a/1109923 The systemd one seems useful

With today's update, we've improved the look of the alt text modal you see when composing new posts on #Mastodon, and added some information about the significance of alt text for accessibility and how to write it.

@pixel @dalfuss Davx should do the trick on android for sure. Use it myself for that. Than you can just use your basic calender and contacts

@kura @aetios I was send this link: https://vxtwitter.com/ironlily_art/status/1877747799871082853

@Carlos Dann sind wir ja zu zweit wo die Birne quamlt

@cheri way too much effort for a shitpost

@eru What a lovely fedi-domain name. Someone is really into Hyouka

@Carlos Hoffe bei dir läufts bissle besser xD Auf Arbeit hat die Kiste grad net sooo bock und zu Hause kämpf ich mit einer Fritzbox und IPv6

@Johann150 So with the help of @rick I could seemingly pinpoint what the problem is. DNS was always fine and correct. It seems normal that IPv6 NS throws a warn for subdomains. It uses the NS of the domain. (same with your fedi-instance Johann)

Other than that we figured out that the Forwarding from Fritzbox to server was not working correctly

It was the internal "forward" that did not work, so its also not the ISP blocking ports or anything.

The network at home gets disconnected every day by the ISP forceably. Nothing I can do on that. The Fritzbox only allows to postpone this every few hours.

So Each day I get a new v6 prefix (first 64 bits of the adress) but for whatever reason the server also changes its host-id (second 64 bits of the adress) so the whole adress changes every night.

To forward v6 correctly the Fritzbox needs you to enter the interface-id (basically host-id) of the device. The fritzbox can do this automatically for the devices that were on the internet before. (indicated by a green world symbol on the dashboard instead of just green dot).

As for now the host-id of the server changes every night (after being assigned a new prefix...,) and the fritzbox is not able to update the host-id itself. So each night it wants to forward traffic to a non-existing host-id. Resulting in yesterdays errors....

So now I need to find a way to get a static host-id to.that server. DNS will be handled by a script on the server itself. WHAT A PAIN!
