Maybe if you’re a junior engineer, but this absolutely not what most SWEs do.


Right?! Get some free IP space from he.net tunnel broker and build your own IPv6 AnyCast network using Quagga for BGP.

Kidding about building your own AnyCast network (although you really could…), but he.net tunnel broker is GOAT.


I wish Happy Eyeballs worked better or let me absolutely prefer IPv4, because every time I set up a free v6 tunnel I get banned about 2 days layer for pushing a few terrabytes over it, when all I wanted was to be able to SSH into every one of my containers on a cheap VPS separately. Or the tunnel is so slow, I'm degrading my entire internet connectivity.


>free v6 tunnel

There's your problem. You need some form of cost attached to some identity assets, anything under the IANA umbrella, ips/domain names. This is in order to prevent sybil attacks. This is all well studied under he hashcash bitcoin era as PoW.

So yeah, you actually need to spend some money not in exchange of something here, but as the very thing you need, you need to distinguish yourself from those that spend 0$, not because they are cheap, but because they may do it 1000 times and ruin it your pooled reputation.


Unfortunately there's quite a market gap if you need bandwidth. I can't just pay HE 10 bucks a month, their service doesn't work that way. Hetzner would work, but their IP space is very often randomly blocked from lots of things.

can you describe a bit more? I cannot connect the dots here on how terabytes are tied to free v6 tunnel - likely I'm missing some details. Thank you in advance.


If someone else provides IPv6 connectivity to you, you use their bandwidth. Some apps like Steam see IPv6 connectivity and use it regardless of what you'd prefer it to use, hinting mechanisms and all. So while I just wanted to use the tunnel for things that IPv4 does not provide, I always end up tunneling half my traffic over it, which free services don't like.


This could all be solved using HE.net tunnel broker for free…


It could, but then all my IPv6 traffic would take a detour around the network.

My ISP gives me native IPv6. Granted, it hasn't changed yet. I am pretty sure it will, some day. Probably by an accident of mine or the ISP.


It’s not virtualization, it’s namespaces. Docker makes use of Linux kernel features; started out with cgroups and now uses libcontainer. Each container is running in its own isolated(ish) namespace on the same host kernel.

It’s _very_ different technology than virtualization.

You don’t need docker to make a container on Linux (or Solaris for that matter).


>It’s not virtualization

You are incorrect, this is OS-level virtualization:

"OS-level virtualization is an operating system (OS) virtualization paradigm in which the kernel allows the existence of multiple isolated user space instances, including containers (LXC, Solaris Containers, AIX WPARs, HP-UX SRP Containers, Docker, Podman)..."[0].

>it’s namespaces. Docker makes use of Linux kernel features; started out with cgroups and now uses libcontainer. Each container is running in its own isolated(ish) namespace on the same host kernel.

Yes, OS-level virtualization.

>It’s _very_ different technology than virtualization.

Incorrect, this is a virtualization technology.

>You don’t need docker to make a container on Linux (or Solaris for that matter).

No one claimed otherwise.

Virtue signaling your dislike of music because of the environment it is played in is asinine.

Do you wish you’d never listened to Mozart? He was a serial misogynist after all.

I can understand parents not wanting their children to listen to music with explicit lyrics, but for an adult to feel this way?

Music is not decadent.


> Music is not decadent.

It can be. Primitive music eliciting primitive emotions is certainly decadent.



But with SSH you won't get NAT traversal and then the direct connection, right? You will forward through a server. Or am I missing something?


FWIW the title of this article is a play on the title of Milan Kundera's famous book "The Unbearable Lightness of Being".


Pretty sure they were referring to the operators you can install that will stand up production ready replicated clusters.

They work quite well.


They replied to a comment mentioning "pgBouncer, repmgr, patroni" so supposedly not one of those.


This is the normal implication with C constant. Nothing is different.


First person in this thread to make any sense… The level of physics knowledge has declined on this site.
