A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins

A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins

This guide is for homelab admins who understand IPv4s well but find setting up IPv6 hard or annoying because things work differently. In some ways, managing an IPv6 network can be simpler than IPv4, one just needs to learn some new concepts and discard some old ones.

Let’s begin.

First of all, there are some concepts that one must unlearn from ipv4:

Concurrency in golang and a mini Load-balancer

INTRO

Concurrency is a domain I have wanted to explore for a long time because the locks and the race conditions have always intimidated me. I recall somebody suggesting concurrency patterns in golang because they said "you share the data and not the variables".

Amused by that, I searched for "concurrency in golang" and bumped into this awesome slide by Rob Pike: https://talks.golang.org/2012/waza.slide#1 which does a great job of explaining channels, concurrency patterns and a mini-architecture of load-balancer (also explains the above one-liner).

Let's dig in:

# Makefile for transpiling with Babel in a Node app, or in a client- or
# server-side shared library.
.PHONY: all clean
# Install `babel-cli` in a project to get the transpiler.
babel := node_modules/.bin/babel
# Identify modules to be transpiled by recursively searching the `src/`

hn job query search
// Usage:
// Copy and paste all of this into a debug console window of the "Who is Hiring?" comment thread
// then use as follows:
//
// query(term | [term, term, ...], term | [term, term, ...], ...)
//
// When arguments are in an array then that means an "or" and when they are seperate that means "and"
//
// Term is of the format:
// ((-)text/RegExp) ( '-' means negation )

Internet Scale Services Checklist

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

Basic tenets

  • Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
  • Have we kept things as simple as possible?
