Re: WLUG Meeting Feb 11th 2021! Topic: Good question!

by Keith Wright

I hope to make it. I'll have to borrow Diane's laptop. My Linux laptop makes a fine computer, but a bad television It says "Topic: Good question!" So here's my good question: I run a name server (DNS). A few days ago it started getting abut 100 requests/min from many different IP addresses all for isc.org. Why are they asking me? I believe I have it set up so that queries from inside the house are so-called "recurive"--- it searches the internet for an answer, but queries from outside are anwered only with info it already has. I am not sure if that means it only answer queries for which it authoritative, or if it also anwers if it has the data cached. I would like it to just blow off any queries for which it is not authoritative. Tell where to send mail for @keithdiane.us and not even answer otherwise. It is remarkably difficult to get it to put replies into the log file, even if it is logging the queries. Could somebody run the following and tell me the results? dig @66.92.74.188 isc.org (that's my IP address) -- Keith

Downloads...

by Stephen C. Daukas

While I think having an ISO image for download would be a good idea, a general download area where folks can post items of interest, say from one of the WLUGs, might be a better idea. That way, if someone has items that have been discussed in either a meeting or on the mailing list, then they can put it somewhere for others to grab. Of course, there is the perennial problem of making sure this isn't used for illicit materials and/or that the site isn't swamped, but there are many ways to manage that. Most companies have an area for this sort of thing and I'll bet we could come up with a solution as well. Too bad I can't make the next meeting, but I'll bet a good discussion over pizza and beer might yield some good ideas! Regards, Steve P.S. I'm just in the process of building a new RH server machine for myself and my domains. I plan on having such a download area and would be interested in being educated as to the pros and cons of that sort of service. I had thought about putting Linux stuff in there, so maybe there is a potential fit with WLUG?

Is this very different from the way it has been done in the past? Is the address changing from https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA ? That address seems to still be there. I just tried to join the meeting and it didn't say 404, it said "wait for moderator?". I hope to join tonight via Jitsi. In the past I have done that by borrowing a Windows computer that has a earplug/mike jack and has been used for Zoom. I thought the computer was for doing computations and never put much thought or effort into watching TV on it, but I have obtained a pair of USB headphones w/ attached microphone, and have been playing with it (them) and finding the buttons and setup menus. It seems to work. So I will be joining (if at all) with a Genuine Linux(TM) laptop. The big advantage of that, besides proof-of-concept, is that I might be able to screen-share and show people what I have been computing. CU7PM, -- Keith

Tim, I could swear I read before, at least for residential services that Charter (now Spectrum) internet did NOT allow you to host a site which is why I have never tried to do it.

That's all broken now because the ISP no longer does DSL. That's certainly a definite form of self hosting!

I've tried as well in the past, with the big issue for me being getting from IPv6 internally to a (mostly) IPv4 network outside. I think IPv6 probably works better as a gateway to your home, since you can then assign multiple distinct IPs to your own block of 64 (or whatever the count it) of internal IPs and make them visible to the outside. So it removes NATing and such. But IPv6 just is a pain to do. I keep reading that Charter/Spectrum offers IPv6 IPs, but I haven't made the leap. Still working on my wireguard setup, which has falled to the side lately.

I'd be up for some socializing if anyone wants to meet up. Also, I'm curious, is everyone actually in/around Worcester or do we have lots of people from farther out too?

MIPS processors can be BE or LE (Big/Little Endian) depending on how you configure them as I understand, though this is more the smaller micro-controllers used in embedded stuff. I personally play around with ATTiny85 and ATTiny84 MCUs when I get a chance. Slowly looking at STM8 and STM32 stuff as well. And of course the Arduino AVR stuff. Keith> Or something even more obscure? More obscure. It has to do with how memory accesses to bytes are handled on the Alpha architecture. They're not very quick, because the Alpha wants to do all memory access in 32bit chunks. I honestly don't recall all the full details. You can find info in the LKML (Linux Kernel Mailing List) which discuss this over the years. Looks for Posts by Linus Torvalds which also mention Alpha. Interesting reading.
