Most probably they failed to renew on time and DNS vanished.

According to https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup domain Updated: 2024-02-03 01:48:49 UTC


Querying the IP's of VLC nameservers works...

ns1.vlcplayer.org 213.36.253.2 ns2.vlcplayer.org 163.172.105.155

$ dig SOA videolan.org @213.36.253.2

;; ANSWER SECTION: videolan.org. 300 IN SOA ns0.videolan.org. admin.videolan.org. 2024010903 7200 3600 2419200 21600

$ dig NS videolan.org @163.172.105.155

;; ANSWER SECTION: videolan.org. 300 IN NS ns1.videolan.org. videolan.org. 300 IN NS ns2.videolan.org.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: ns1.videolan.org. 300 IN A 213.36.253.2 ns2.videolan.org. 300 IN A 163.172.105.155 ns1.videolan.org. 300 IN AAAA 2a01:e0d:1:3:58bf:fa02:c0de:60

It's like VLC domain expired and removed from DNS system.

Just great!

Hope to release wireguard on FreeBSD soon as well.

In order pfSense to include it: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8786


> Hope to release wireguard on FreeBSD soon as well.

Available as a Port / package:

* https://www.freshports.org/net/wireguard/

* https://www.freshports.org/net/wireguard-go/

Running it in a jail for further compartmentalization:

GP is referring to the kernel implementation that is a work-in-progress.


A kernel implementation also in development on NetBSD:

https://github.com/ozaki-r/netbsd-src/tree/wireguard


hopefully OPNSense gets the same soon. they already ship it (i think as a kernel module).


Some time ago, the π day... I become aware of the following. Sadly I totally agree with the "trend" :(

"If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality."

What about security issues?

Those will be in public too? Or you should contact by email when you have a security issue.


"Sensitive issues, such as security issues with GitLab, will still be handled internally. We’ll create tracking issues for these on the public issue trackers that don’t contain exploitable information."


For sensitive issues you can email us at support at gitlab dot com.


Using Google is ok, but mastering Google is art!

Although sometimes you are the first that hit an issue.

Solving the issue and sharing the results is the next greatest thing one could do. Reporting the issue is great too.

Another useful library is vatnumber Python module to validate VAT numbers: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/vatnumber


python-requests is a must have!

Requests: HTTP for Humans http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/


I seem to do fine with httplib/2 and generally prefer core libraries. Am I really missing out on much?

I would say not much, but it's much more pythonic.


Interesting but contrived with the authentication part which is rare in my experience (I've never seen it).
