New Server (with IPv6)

I got a new server and I finished moving everything to the new hardware this week. If you notice anything behaving strange just drop me a note. I also set up IPv6 on all my VMs so will be playing around with that a bit. It’s a shame that hardly any providers give customers IPv6 addresses, migrating from IPv4 to IPv6 will take forever if none of the users can use them (and in the meantime IPv4 addresses are getting more and more expensive for me).

The new server is from hetzner since I have been very satisfied with them in the past. Impressive hardware features for low prices and (what really makes me keep choosing them) fantastic technical support. I’ve been with a few companies in the past, but none have had as good support as hetzner. Sooner or later hardware will die, and having a hosting provider that responds promptly and knowledgeably to request is priceless.

Blog <-> Facebook

So I finally got around to getting Facebook to automatically impoort my blog entries. Was easily done technically, all I had to do was decide if I wanted them to end up in the news feed or as status updates. Both had their advantages, but I decided going with news feeds because they provide better formating.

Now I’m back to moving my website and email server to new hardware (websites are easy, email is a bit of a pain).
