Welcome to the Swagg::Net
Once again in the process of moving and I've subscribed to a new ISP. This comes with some good news and some bad news. Good news is it's a fiber connection that will be much faster. The bad news is it is not a business class connection like my previous connection was (as I wouldn't have been able to afford a business class fiber connection) which limits the support I'll get from the ISP I'm sure. For example IPv6 support appears to be non-existant. This means www and ipv6.swagg.net will still carry on (as they're migrated to the cloud) however the hostnames I have self-hosted still such as chat and mirror.swagg.net will not. Also as I haven't moved just yet, there will be downtime when I move the gear this weekend (6/11/2021 - 6/13/2021).
I hope to restore IPv6 support one way or another... If the ISP won't support this then I'll be left to implement some sort of tunnel. I performed a tcpdump from my new firewall and haven't seen any IPv6 traffic outside of the firewall throwing out unanswered DHCPv6 requests but other subscribers in my area report IPv6 being turned on throughout this year. More to come...
I am going to be moving equipment this weekend (6/26/2020 to 6/28/2020) so there may be a full day or two of downtime while I piece everything together. In the future I'm going to move the MOTD and this little news section to another server because this message kind of defeats the purpose (didn't help I posted it at the last minute WHOOPS)
I purchased the swagg.net domain name last year but never go around to cutting over from the old one. As with the move from swagg.ddns.net, I'm going to hold onto swagg.cc to serve redirects but eventually I'll be letting it go as swagg.cc actually costs me money
I got bored and changed stuff and now there's HTTPS
Due to me physically moving my server (and everything) to my new place in Northern VA, there was some downtime (2 days) and SwaggNet now has all new IP addresses. I think it's done now but there may be some more downtime at night during the weekend as I have to clean up my cabling as things got a bit spaghettified during the move and I haven't had the time to unravel it all.
I've been quietly playing around with IPv6 for some time and finally felt comfortable going "global" with it, however the old domain name (swagg.ddns.net) was a free Dynamic DNS name and thus was not configurable as an AAAA (IPv6) record. Therefore swagg.cc is now the new domain name for SwaggNet and swagg.ddns.net has be reconfigured to simply point to swagg.cc and will stay that way as long as I can hold on to that name. swagg.cc should now resolve to IPv4 or IPv6 and if you're curious or want to test your own IPv6 configuration, I've also created ipv6.swagg.cc which will only be used for IPv6 records so using ipv6.swagg.cc should essentially force an IPv6 session if everything's been set up correctly.
