A friendly reminder from a sysadmin/web app developer who has to deal with dns and network issues in the real world and would like to use a nice clean UI tool like this: Lack of IPv6 support is a deal breaker. EDIT: for friendliness.

IPv4 only content providers beware: T-Mobile's IPv6 service is an IPv6-only service that uses NAT64 and DNS64 in the network to connect IPv6 mobile users with IPv4 content. We believe that the majority of the bandwidth consumed by IPv6 sub

Where does this article talk about >1s connect times for websocket? The websocket handshake is a single network round trip (discounting any added by TLS if you are using it) and the initial client message frames can be sent in the same

Android 2.3+ supports webm via the video tag. I am not sure what the hardware acceleration status is, certainly not as good as the near ubiquitous hardware h.264 support.

If you consider mobile, which the article did not, the numbers are closer but still slightly favoring webm. Opportunities for growth 4% world share of Firefox 3.6 users -> webm 26% world share of IE 6-8 users -> up for grabs?

The WebSocket protocol guarantees that all hops along the way preserve message boundaries except in the case of explicitly negotiated extensions that dictate otherwise. Even in cases where your WebSocket implementation exposes incomplete me

As I mentioned above, I agree that that needing to pass maximum message size out of band makes some things more difficult. Whether that was the right tradeoff in terms of convenience vs protocol complexity I think has yet to be seen. At any

I think his analysis is flawed. WebSocket is a message based protocol that does not specify a maximum message size in the RFC. This does not make it a streaming protocol until an implementation decides to deliver incomplete messages to the

Current story on WebSockets There are two components to web sockets. The WebSocket API under development by the W3C/HTML5 groups ( http://dev.w3.org/html5/websockets/ ) which defines the javascript/browser API and the WebSocket Protocol und

DokuWiki is a nice compromise between the two. Instead of using a database it is backed by human-readable flat files. It'll run on a basic shared hosting account (or your home machine) without any setup other than dropping the files into a

Yes you are right on the 3 vs 4 octets for outside BMP, it is the 4 octet UTF8 that MySQL pre 5.5 doesnt work with. With MySQL 5.5 the full basic LAMP stack at least will now handle non-BMP characters.

It is probably worth including a character outside the basic multilingual plane (e.g. anything above 0x10000, like http://unicodelookup.com/#0x22222/1 ) when testing UTF-8 web support. I recently was working on a Japanese teaching web appl

With the focus on full screen apps I'd say their future is one small laptop/iPad display. Full screen / mission control brings us much closer to iOS style application switching which in fact does work well on the air and MBPs but is less us

try www.ipv6day.org. `ipv6day.org` doesn't even have a regular A record.

sprint.net has a pretty nice one. Theirs isn't an IPv6 day exclusive either. Kind of amusing address for a telecom company...

The two big tunnel brokers are primarily run by network transit companies for whom bandwidth is less an issue and who benefit from more IPv6 traffic and the experience that managing and debugging it provides. I suspect that tunneled traffic

assuming by ping6 2001:0db8:200:f101::1 you mean ping6 to a real IPv6 address rather than the 2001:db8::/32 demonstration address, then yes, you probably have a link local IPv6 address only. You can also check by running ifconfig (or the si

weird.. test-ipv6.com gives me 10/10 for full dual stack compatibility and ipv6test.google.com says I don't have IPv6 at all. Anyone else getting this? edit: it looks like Safari must run dns requests both as IPv4 and IPv6 and uses whicheve

Regarding the IP address privacy stuff...this can already be a problem with IPv4. At home, Comcast gives me IPv4 DHCP leases that get renewed to the same address for many months at a time. At work I (and most other employees) have a static

Not that anyone probably cares, but it doesn't work for domains that only have an IPv6/AAAA record. An interesting option there might be to see sites that share an IPv6 prefix of a certain length?

These guys have been mapping the IPv4 space via ping over time (since 2003) and have an interactive browsable map that also shows blocks marked for localhost/private networks/multicast, etc and which registrars control which regions. It is

This is happening already. All of Verizon's currently shipping LTE (4G) devices have native IPv6.

This is referred to as NAT64/DNS64 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_transition_mechanisms#NAT6... ) and is the strategy many mobile phone networks (such as T-Mobile USA) are taking. Effectively they give devices IPv6 addresses only and r
