Things happen.

The amount of software that still has issues with such a simple thing as IPv6 is stunning.

And no. I'm not going to pay 20 bucks a month to have ONE IPv4.

I was configuring an XMPP server, nothing fancy. I have a reverse proxy that does TLS, with the server in my private network. Setup ok, it works, right???

Wrong.

Configuring the related AAAA record and testing it with nc, it's fine, the SRV records for xmpps are there, but here's the dragons:

  • Bitlbee: Ok, it's unmantained, but looking into the code, IPv6 is not supported at all.
  • Monal (IOS): in theory it should support IPv6, given also the the requirements from the App Store, but it doesn't work. And I can say that it doesn't work because I don't even see a simple connection to the reverse proxy.
  • Anything else? Shrug.

I don't need to chat, but I wanted to have something under my control, working with OMEMO, for my really private conversations.

And Yes, I want to self-host it, so don't tell me about Signal and Co.

A few dozen companies, some of them Fortune 500s, are among those that executed proof-of-concept code. At least one misconfigured site is directing visitors, human or AI, to live malware.

In Memory of My Wife, Elise Cawley (1961–2026), with Thanks for 36 Wonderful Years

Something terrible just happened. My wife, Elise Cawley, was recovering from heart surgery and had just attended virtually a celebration for one of our children when she had a freak, vast cardiovascular event—and died instantly. We had been together for 36 years. The picture above was taken just hours before she died. In all the […]
