Deutsche Telekom are now default blocking email from ALL non-allowlisted IPs at the IP level. Which means that @BitFolk's mail server for the main domain, our mailing lists and our support system can't communicate with anyone a t-online address (amongst others).
ALT Connection refused by t-online.de mail server from BitFolk's main outbound mail relay, showing an IP-level block.

New Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) scan on port 3478/udp, reveals around 101k IPv4 and 2.9K IPv6 accessible services daily. These can be abused for reflection/amplification DDoS attacks (IPv4 amp factor around 4, IPv6 amp factor around 6). Most in US and Germany.

OK, LugRadio fans: since @DaveEwart found the LRL2009 banner, I'd like to know who everyone is on it. I've made a start at naming everyone but I need help! Go to lugradio.org/lrlbanner/ and then reply to this with all the names I'm missing (and the little number for each)!

Today, at 15:35, we made our final /22 IPv4 allocation from the last remaining addresses in our available pool. We have now run out of IPv4 addresses.

Thanks to Andy at @bitfolk for his CVE-2019-10149 reminder - already fixed in 4.89-2+deb9u4 & I was automatically updated, but good to check up on active exploits!

Great thread about 32-bit computing. My @bitfolk VPS is 32-bit and dates back to 2007, and has been upgraded all the way until I had to nuke it recently for reasons.
The first VMs at @bitfolk had just 120MiB of memory and back then (~2006) it felt right to recommend 32-bit due to lower memory use. Fast forward to 2019 and now the most common config is 2G yet we still have customers from 10+ years back who've never reinstalled, only upgraded.

Like I said, we do this for fun, it's not a job. So bear that in mind.
Massive thanks to @bitfolk who have sponsored the show since the beginning, without asking much in return. Thanks also to @jupitersignal for providing @JoeRessington to edit and master our nonsense. ♥️

Fantastic support from @bitfolk as ever. If you're in need of a VPS I can highly recommend them.
