🚀 Oh wow, another tech blogger convinced they're the first to discover DNS servers 🌐. Prepare to be amazed as a 'radical optimist' embarks on a riveting 16-minute odyssey to... translate hostnames! 🙄 Spoiler: it's still DNS.

My Own DNS Server At Home - Part 1: IPv4

“It’s always DNS” is a famous meme among network people. Name resolution is technically quite simple. It’s “just” translating a hostname like jan.wildeboer.net to an IP address. What could possibly go wrong? I am a radical optimist and detail-obsessed knowledge collector, so I decided to find out. As part of my goal to make my home network a little island of Digital Sovereignty, meaning that everything at home should JustWork™, even with no working internet connection, a DNS server is needed.

What are you devices (laptops, phones, servers, etc.) named after? My theme is greek mythology: gods, heros and monsters.
My PiHole is named after argus, the all-seeing giant. My laptop that I often took on journeys is named odysseus. The home server is named herakles, because of all the different tasks it fulfils.

I also heard of someone using place names of famous disasters like Chernobyl, Hindenburg or Deepwater Horizion.

What‘s your theme?

Boosts appreciated.

Let's Encrypt 針對無主用戶端的限制

Let's Encrypt 發表了「How We Reduced the Impact of Zombie Clients」這篇,在講處理 zombie client 的情況。 這邊講的 zombie client 是指自動化過程的產物:Let's Encrypt 推動自動化更新 certificate 的機制,所以大多數都是透過程式更新 (也就是 client),而遇到系統轉移但舊系統沒有關閉,或是其他類似的情況,導致有些系統雖然已經不是合法的 hostname owner (所以認證會失敗),但還是會一直向 Let's Encrypt 發送請求 (這時候就是 zombie client 了)。 算是因為自動化 ACME 協定而產生的...

So if you want to properly change your Mac’s hostname without macOS mollycoddling you and changing it back, use:

sudo scutil --set HostName <hostname>

(Not hostname --set <hostname>).

I had a presentation about registering #hostname on #ipv6, when #SLAAC is used. Is there any attempt to register name to local #dns server, when I am on IPv6 only network? I think dynamic update over TCP would be similar to #dhcp based registration Dnsmasq does automatically. Is there any system attempting it already?
I will have today presentation about #hostname used on public networks. When is it great and when it is not. #OpenAlt. I used free slot, need to work on slides. #DNS and #mDNS will be included.
