The big websites are operating on ipv6. If you want to run your own website it's actually trivial to host it on both ipv4/ipv6 now and most good hosting providers will give you a /64 allocation.

In the UK broadband providers also are quite commonly providing IPv6 as standard (albeit the scummy ones dynamically assign a prefix, for absolutely zero reason aside from annoyance). My provider uses PD to assign a /48 even.

So, really not sure why it's so slow going elsewhere. There's really no reason for it now in 2025.

Can you imagine that much RA/ND chatter? Would need some serious capacity.

I think his unrealistic 24 hour plan was to give putin what he thought he wanted. Eg all the territory he's captured so far and assurances against nato action/withdrawal of some western personnel at nato border country bases. You know putin's public story.

He just didn't know putin's real objective. Maybe now he's getting a bit of an idea. He's too simplistic to fathom that there could have been an ulterior motive.

I never heard that. But it seems entirely believable.

It's for backup purposes mainly. A lot of cloud backup providers don't store permissions.

So if I restore the data I can then restore the permissions after. So these are the folders I am backing up (with some exceptions in /var)

OK so it's fairly simple. You need to install the acl package (or whatever equivalent package contains getfacl/setfacl. Then you can use that to dump the data from an entire structure into a file (I also then bzip that). Then I backup all installed packages to help with a restore too.

So the script looks like:

#!/bin/bash
cd /etc
/usr/bin/getfacl -R . | /usr/bin/bzip2 -9 >PERMISSION_BACKUP.bz2
chmod 600 PERMISSION_BACKUP.bz2
cd /home
/usr/bin/getfacl -R . | /usr/bin/bzip2 -9 >PERMISSION_BACKUP.bz2
chmod 600 PERMISSION_BACKUP.bz2
cd /root
/usr/bin/getfacl -R . | /usr/bin/bzip2 -9 >PERMISSION_BACKUP.bz2
chmod 600 PERMISSION_BACKUP.bz2
cd /var
/usr/bin/getfacl -R . | /usr/bin/bzip2 -9 >PERMISSION_BACKUP.bz2
chmod 600 PERMISSION_BACKUP.bz2
/usr/bin/apt list --installed | /usr/bin/bzip2 -9 >/root/INSTALLED-PACKAGES.bz2
chmod 600 /root/INSTALLED-PACKAGES.bz2

To restore you change to the folder the backup was taken from, unbzip the file (or uncompress live via pipe) and use setfacl --restore=

Yeah. Only on my phone right now but will get it and post here later/tomorrow.

I mean, too late for you now. But I have a script that backs up just the permissions and owners for a given folder hierarchy.

I use it because I backup to a cloud backup platform that doesn't save them. So these files are backed up with the data so the files and permissions/owners can be restored in an emergency.

But you could of course also use the file to restore permissions after a user generated mistake too.

Pretty sure one of the first things musk did was kill off an entire (or more than one?) data centre. Pointing out with glee that it worked fine without it.

This is probably why it existed.

Still it's only twitter. No real loss.

"8gb ought to be enough for anybody"

I did defederate from hexbear for a while a year or so ago. Just because at the time their users were generally just actively trolling for reactions in pretty much every community, and it just got too the point I defederated. I've since removed them from the defed list.

Generally I agree. But ML seems to have become a bit more clearly biased in their moderation. To me it's not a reason to defed, but a reason to view the content they do allow in their hosted communities with that bias in mind.

I know the OP is using wifi calling as a solution. But since we're talking voip providers.

I use voxbeam. But they're wholesale, you need a fixed IP for incoming calls, their support are good. But they're probably not going to want to help you with end-user type questions. They only support SIP. But, pricing is generally good and plenty of reasonably priced DID options.
