  Today my ISP's 'maintenance' changed both my public IPv4 and IPv6 PD subnets which haven't changed in 2 years. And I discovered that absolutely none of my dynamic IP handling stuff is working. IPv6 broken entirely on the LAN, no dynamic DNS updates, it's all on fire.

  Not sure if intentional (probably not) but encountered an #IPv6 only guest Wi-Fi today. No IPv4 at all.

  online services: We're absolving our responsibility for authentication and instead we're going to delegate account security to your e-mail provider, send credentials via the well known and extremely secure e-mail federation, and make UX considerably worse. No, there is no way to disable login by e-mail codes or change it from the default. #enshittification

  USB Audio Class 2.0 has been a bit of a white whale 🐳 for me since sometime around 2018. Pretty much necessary for custom USB-based high performance audio hardware. Today I finally got my own implementation playing smoothly for the first time 🥳 . Still some way to go, but the class implementation itself is solid, I think. A brief history: ~2018: Hardware based on XMOS, software based on their reference implementation. Smooth playback, but limited flexibility and complicated, non-portable code,...

  Maybe https://woodpecker-ci.org/ is worth a look? Been quite happy with it, but it might not be a good fit for ngscopeclient.

  Since I recently moved my primary DNS to PowerDNS, I realized I can expose its API to my OpnSense and finally get support for dynamic DNS for IPv6 with host-part replacement. Now I can choose if I want to expose things natively on IPv6 PD addresses and proxied on IPv4, or proxied on both AFs, rather than proxying everything. Particularly useful for non-HTTP services. The bits and pieces were mostly there before, but the stars never aligned for me. RFC2136 would support it, but the plugin was de...

  A while back I noticed that my hosted-at-home services (media library etc.) sometimes felt very slow from outside. But never thought much of it. Needed to do a large file transfer from home and seeing 200KB/s, finally had enough. Only affects IPv6. Only affects traffic to the OpnSense router itself (not routed traffic), which proxies most of my services. I was ready to blame the ISP for doing weird stuff with the IA_NA address, when I confirmed it happens for the LAN PD address too. Turns out...

  The hypocrisy of a bank insisting I give my password for my account at another bank to 3rd party Flinks/Plaid, while insisting in the ToS that if I did so with their account, they're no longer liable for fraud.

  Prototype of my next project - a PTP clock with a 1,000,000fps, 1us display, with a true displayed accuracy of better than 500ns with respect to PTP time. No, I don't know why this is useful. Maybe some high speed photography setup with a need for absolute timestamping (though I imagine this is something already offered by high speed camera setups). I think I've got most of the hard timing stuff sorted out now, and the synchronization with PTP and display updating is working. It...
