quote:In a statement this week, Bryan Denny, special agent in charge of the US Department of Defense (DoD) Office of Inspector General, Defense Criminal Investigative Service in the Western Field Office, said that Aksoy "knowingly defrauded the Department of Defense by introducing counterfeit products into its supply chain that routinely failed or did not work at all." [...] the DOD OIG weasels around the issue with their "introducing counterfeit products into [our] supply chain" statement and the ars technica writer alludes to it, but presumably the DOD is not firing up the amazon.com web retail store front and ordering a $1000 "new" "cisco" switch from the amazon marketplace delivered to an F35 base like presumably they're paying $25K to SAIC or General Dynamics or Booz Allen Hamilton or whichever huge federal IT contractor has the contract for IT services at that F35 base for that same $1K switch and presumably the DOD OIG went to those huge federal IT contractors and asked them if they knew these were counterfeit switches and their lawyers told them to say "iunno  "

I thought I'd lost the plot after my last post, but for real this time  I can now trigger or suppress my heisenbug It's pretty simple really. I get my /60 from Comcast, and from that pool, my router automatically distributes /64s to the various interfaces and sets up routing. The server configurator script is triggered by a successful lease from the DHCPv6 client: it checks which subnet the router assigned to the server interface, computes the correct server address*, alters the firewall rules and updates the AAAA record. This lets me self host my cat pictures, and gently caress if it isn't a huge hassle compared to classic dynDNS. The global variable is necessary because there is no native function for detecting if that /60 has changed on lease renewal. Thus, I get to use a comparator to determine if the prefix has changed and it needs to run the script, otherwise it non ops. If the global disappears between script executions, then the configurator script runs an unnecessarily large number of times, making unnecessary updates to DNS. The global persists (and the script operates as intended) only if I have WinBox connected and have one of two windows open: the terminal window (to query the variable), or the system script window (ditto). My theory is that there is some sort of background garbage collection that is getting interrupted if either of those windows are open. Thus my exasperation at debugging, my vexation at it's seemingly intermittent nature. Documentation is scant, with nothing on how the OS handles garbage collection. *For example, Comcast assigned 2601:205:4301:c340::/60. What that means is that my router has 4 bits, or 16 subnets to play with when it is time to assign subnets to interfaces: 2601:205:4301:c340::/64, 2601:205:4301:c341::/64, 2601:205:4301:c342::/64, etc etc to 2601:205:4301:c34f::/64. Those are the first 64 bits of the IPv6 address. The last 64 bits can be set using tokenized IPv6 identifiers, the suffix to the /64's prefix. Say the server's IPv6 token is ::dead:beef. If the router assigned webnet's network interface 2601:205:4301:c342::/64, the final address would be 2601:205:4301:c342::dead:beef.

we just pay maxmind for their database and it hasn't been inaccurate so far at a previous company, microsoft took over some ip address space which was previously owned by iran, which was a fun experience to figure out why we were suddenly unable to connect to a bunch of things

Skinnymansbeerbelly posted:I thought I'd lost the plot after my last post, but for real this time since you have a web server anyway, is there a reason you don't want to have that control the updates? when I've needed to deal with mikrotik automation in the past I just used their ansible collections as it was more reliable than trying to do it on device. anecdotal, but I have xfinity too and I have had the same ipv6 /60 prefix since 2016. i even switched hardware, but copied over the dhcpv6 duid from the old device to the new and continued to get the same prefix.

how do the infra dorks of yospos discover new tech and ideas from peers outside of their own company? I'm an SRE nerd, but I've been in the same org for 7 years and I worry about our environment and my own skillset becoming stagnant. I'd like to be able to see how other SRE-style folks build and manage their cloud infrastructure and CICD environment, exchange ideas, see what tools others are using, etc are meetups still a think in the post-covid world? do you all just attend or view conference talks? read the thoughtworks techradar?  ? something else I haven't considered?

the RIRs should not be operating geoip databases. like when ARIN assigns 73.0.0.0/8 to comcast and asks where comcast is going to use that allocation they are going to be like "united states"

sorry just catching up with this threadShugojin posted:once again i am astounded by how loving stupid ip geolocation is there's a million providers and i have to figure out which dipshit has decided to teleport IP addresses to another broadcasting region and make them fix it this time they kind of influence it through the SWIP process which is factored in as part of the score/location. At least the ISP folks I know try to set the specific ranges correctly, although I've seen plenty of examples like the Comcast one ITT. Shugojin posted:oh yeah once upon a time literally every ipv4 my company has got accidentally listed as proxy providers by a major provider of that and none of our customers could use hulu lmao also lol, I saw "range" and started reading the second part as precursor rant to "why does my LG oven and range demand to be on WiFi?". We just got a small ARIN allocation but I'm always looking for more... do you or anyone else mind sharing what marketplaces you've had success with?
