If the reason you're using github is its tools and (nice) interface, why not start your deploy by syncing github to your private repo, then have capistrano always pull from there? Less code paths to test and no need to define env[FALLB

Thanks for doing this, awesome job. May I request IPv6 support?

Not sure about the UK, but most Europeans circuits are rated and protected for 16 amps, not 13. That's ~3.5kW at 220V.

I wish I could actually use the service by pointing a browser at this url. You're artificially limiting yourself to iOS users.

Agreed. That said, any company collecting PII (or any type of data a customer believes is protected really) as part of their business has a duty of protecting that information. Unfortunately, you can't trust joe sixpack to make safe an

I would suggest running your tests against a non-geobalanced and/or non-cdn enabled hostname (you can use the same resolvers, it doesn't matter here). Google most likely has a cache cluster within VM's core and their DNS send

I would definitely offer native, unrestricted ipv6 access from day one if I was going to roll out restricted ipv4 connectivity. Not sure why they did not deploy it, but it seems like you can get ipv6 from a lot of other low-end, cheap provi

They most likely forgot to renew their cert on time, which is worrisome from a gov't institution, but not necessarily a sign of evil activity. I'd try to contact them through other means (i.e. phone, email, etc.) to 1) schedule my

By sending data in plain text, your users are revealing their intent to retrieve the content hosted on the site, even though that content is public. That in itself may be considered a breach of privacy, as it exposes your users to passive c

Aside from ::/128 (undefined address) and ::1/128 (local loopback), the entirety of ::/96 was reserved for ipv4-compatible addresses and had been deprecated for a while [1] It is safe to assume that they won't be allocat

Because Adobe will be writing a closed-source module distributed in a binary form, you'll end up with the exact same situation as with plugins IMHO. Only a subset of the available OS and processor architectures will be supported. Flash

Work is in progress to make webrtc implementations work over ipv6 but it's not ready yet. Chrome 34 will implement it behind a feature flag (googIPv6:true) [1], and hopefully Firefox will follow suit. When they do, most pain points cau

In most cases you're after the the ATA secure erase command. Read the hdparm man page, look for --secure-erase.

Yes, it will connect just fine over v6 if no v4 addresses are available. It should, however, try v6 first and then fall back to v4. At least on Linux and OSX, getaddrinfo() won't return ipv6 addresses if the local machine doesn't

Some older AE/TC don't support DHCP-PD even if you update them with the latest firmware (that's really a shame IMHO). It might also just be your AE settings. Check that it is configured in router mode, with access mode set to

Yet, popular server software like nodejs still prefer ipv4 over ipv6 addresses, slowing down the transition even more [1]. 1. https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/src/cares_wrap.cc...

1) make sure your services listen on ipv6 and configure them accordingly if they don't. Watch out for things like virtual hosts and TLS configuration. 2) Add firewall rules to allow inbound traffic over ipv6 if they don't already

OpenWRT or other OpenWRT-based firmwares are really easy to get up and running these days. Trusting consumer electronics manufacturers running on razon-thin margins for your security is pure madness, not advisable at best.
