Here is how I routed myself a block of IPv6 to my laptop, wherever I am in the world! Note that I deliberately route myself an entire /64, but only allow a /128 through tinc (to reduce the amount of junk I might drown in). It should be relatively trivial to swap addresses if necessary in future.

There’s been a lot of talk both recently and in years passed about LZMA compression. With any compression algorithm come benchmarks and these are often in the form of compression-rate, decompression-rate and compression-ratio:

Dear Xen Virtual Server Customers,

On Tuesday next week Faelix expects to receive delivery of thirty servers to massively upgrade existing hosting arrangements across our two data-centres, and plan our expansion into the third and beyond. They say “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”, but Faelix will be giving free upgrades to our valued existing customers: the only thing you’ll notice is that your sites and services run even faster!

The weekend of February 14th is going to be our tentative target for release.
