 6aa4fd | I'm not gonna write the .nix for you on my phone if you are trying to request that | 02:51:55 |
 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | No, just showing you what the interface looks like | 02:52:06 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | to show that it's not tun0 for example | 02:52:11 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I'm actually not sure what kind of interface it is | 02:52:38 |
| 6aa4fd | well sure, but its all the same idea. shove one layer 2 into another layer 2 | 02:52:52 |
| 6aa4fd | or maybe it's layer 3, I'm not an engineer | 02:53:07 |
| 6aa4fd | its an ipv6-in-ipv4 | 02:53:34 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | everyone's confused about that lol | 02:53:35 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | layer 2/3 is always debated | 02:53:42 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | but one thing's for sure, they both fscking suck | 02:53:50 |
| 6aa4fd | I'm not really qualified to comment on it. I couldn't design something that would get me mail from Tokyo in an hour, let alone a quarter second | 02:55:48 |

ctrl-f networkd
then convert it into a nix expression using those commands I linked you | 02:57:13 |
| 6aa4fd | seems pretty straightforward on paper | 02:57:25 |

| 6aa4fd | BTW if you have a server center where you have ipv6 without HE, you don't need HE at home, you can just tunnel to that DC | 02:58:05 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | SCION being one of them, the most promising. | 02:58:07 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | There's actually a remarkable amount of layer 2 replacements though. | 02:58:16 |
| 6aa4fd | maybe I misunderstood your network topography | 02:58:23 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | You mean use it as my ipv6 provider instead of hurricane electric? | 02:58:47 |

You mean use it as my ipv6 provider instead of hurricane electric? yeah. that is all you are paying he for, using their servers as endpoints | 02:59:21 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I suppose. Though I actually can't do that, because I don't have control over the network there. | 02:59:43 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Additionally, they only have a /64 block, so they can't actually do that. | 02:59:51 |
| 6aa4fd | a data center with only a /64? what a joke | 03:00:11 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Well, it's just a business connection. | 03:00:22 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | BT (British Telecom) | 03:00:27 |
| 6aa4fd | that is like a v4 network with only one vlan | 03:00:30 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Yup :D | 03:00:35 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Horrible. | 03:00:36 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | and the network administrator is a BOFH | 03:00:54 |
