I setup a Ko-Fi in case anyone wants to help support me.

Also if you'd like to support the instance any bit helps to offset the cost of hosting.

#Introductions

My name is Francis. A Fox who enjoys doing system/network administration both as a job and hobby, mostly Linux.

I'm a very open-minded person, support LGBTQ+, and am overall a pleasant individual. When I'm not managing servers I'm ether sleeping or playing video games.

I like following artists in the fandom, meeting new people, and having fun!

Not very NSFW myself but I do follow those who are and enjoy their content, don't take it personally if I don't boost or fave/like.

Yes, I know I have spaghetti cabling forming, I'll fix it one day.

I got a Barracuda 330 acting as a hardware firewall. So far I've got my snort subscriber rules loaded and now I'm tuning Squid to actually cache stuff. Currently the hit-miss ratio is making me cry. I gave it 110 GB plz cache all the things!

Had my first cup of deathwish coffee and I am so awake right now haha xD

Puppo Space has been online for almost a year now and I've kept the standard mascot image for far too long.

Have me sitting like a dog for all your tooting amusement! *belp*

Puppo Space will be going down for maintenance at 2:00 PM EST today. The provider is going to be troubleshooting IPv6 connectivity between the web and database servers which means both will be offline while they work to solve the problem.

During this downtime, both ICANN and OpenNIC DNS resolutions will also be offline so please plan ahead if you happen to point to ether of those servers for DNS during this maintenance window.

While applications shouldn't be able to override the system-set DNS servers. Many of DoH's "pitfalls" are that people got way too comfortable passively reading the plaintext DNS queries as they traveled over the network. Like honestly this move to encrypted DNS should not have been a big surprise as everything became encrypted.

Sorry I haven't been active much. Work and other personal projects have mostly taken up a lot of my free time and sometimes I forget to post here. I still actively manage the servers and services though so don't take my inactivity as I'm not here, I am. Just watching more than posting.

So I got to hear our org is going to be getting our own IPv6 netblock. Fingers crossed I get to do some cool stuff on that front.

I was beginning to wonder when we were going to finally adopt IPv6 into the network.

Awesome headshot piece I got of me and a friend.

Hopefully he isn't thinking of swallowing~

Pushing forward on my list of things to learn I'm now connected into dn42 and have my first established peer.

I'm AS42423621 (TAILSNET) if anyone is also on there and wishes to peer with me!
