Recently various news pages were posting about the nearing breakthrough of IPv6 (e.g. german newspage golem: IPv6 steht vor dem Durchbruch).

For me, associate of a small and innovative provider, I can't see this breakthrough. It seems nearly impossible to find hosting for dedicated servers which offer native IPv6 (at least with reasonable hardware/price conditions). Yes, I know I can tunnel through sixxs or other tunnel brokers, but I don't want low-speed IPv6 for people who can wait, I want to support IPv6 in same quality and speed than normal IPv4.

If you're working on the small side (dedicated servers, no colocation), you're out of luck twice. You hardly find providers that provide you with more than a few IPv4 IPs and you hardly can do anything to push the next gen IPv6 forward.

Gestern war ja Halloween. Bei mir (bzw. genaugenommen bei meinem kleinen Serverprojekt) kamen besonders üble Halloween-Segfault-Geister zu Besuch, die mich bis spät nachts zwischen 4 und 5 wachhielten:

xfs_repair[1515]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 0000000000418154 rsp 00007fffffd77e08 error 6

grep[1917]: segfault at 0000000000000008 rip 00002ba383a587fb rsp 00007ffffff258c0 error 4

tail[2147]: segfault at 0000000000000008 rip 00002b84790750e9 rsp 00007fffffe30120 error 4

ls[2150]: segfault at 0000000000000008 rip 00002b4098b5f7fb rsp 00007fffffa107e0 error 4

Die beste Satire schreibt doch gelegentlich die Realität:

Kurzform: DAU hat Rootserver gemietet, DAU kriegt meldung »No space left on device«, weiss nicht, was das bedeutet. Fragt. Kriegt Antwort »rm -rf /«. Tut es.

Vielleicht sollte man zumindest ein bißchen Grundahnung von Shell-Commands haben, wenn man einen Rootserver mietet. Vielleicht.
