IPv6 connectivity issues?
My uptime monitor is reporting IPv6 connectivity issues with ping to the rdge router, not sure what is happening. Web traffic on IPv6 to the reverse proxy doesn’t seem to be affected. @homelab @degraded

New website domain and post URLs.
This website has been moved from the blog to www subdomain, and /YYYY/MM/title to /posts/title URLs for blog posts. Redirects are in place so the transition should be seamless.
Why move? Well… I felt the site has outgrown the blog subdomain, it’s more than a blog — there are also computer lists, static pages and this status page. I do like the aesthetics of naked domains, but not enough to disregard the DNS disadvantages — so www it is.
I’ve been thinking about getting rid of the dates in the post URLs for a while. It’s always annoyed me a tiny bit that /YYYY/ and /YYYY/MM were not valid indexes, and thus not browsable.

Switches upgraded to RouterOS 7.22.1.
That caused a bit of downtime when the core and switch with my WAN fiber was upgraded.

Temporary Aruba switches removed.
When my MikroTik CRS328-24P-4S+ got stuck in a boot-loop, after a failed firmware upgrade, I set up two Aruba switches to get my network up and running. I got a new Mikrotik switch on warranty, and finally migrated back to that switch today.

Something fishy with local-data in knot-resolver.
With nodata diabled; Systemd-resolver did IPv6 lookup, got public CNAME and resolved everything to the local reverse proxy. Causing local A overrides to not work as intended.
But with nodata enabled; an APEX domain override caused all non local-data domains to fail lookup…

Migrated content from Gitea to Forgejo.
111 repos migrated from Gitea to Forgejo. About time — I’ve had Forgejo up and running for about a year, but never got around to do the migration.
Now I guess there will be a lot of changing .git/config files and minor adjustments. And I do plan to organize better than I did before, but it remains to be seen how that goes.

Immich upgraded to v2.5.6.
Also disabled the systemd-networkd-wait-online.service as it was preventing the VM to start, as I understood it because the docker network is listed with no-carrier.

Local DNS issues, failed to verify peer certificate.
Starting 07:30 my local DNS, Knot Resolver, was unable to verify the peer certificate of Quad9:
The certificate is NOT trusted. The revocation or OCSP data are old and have been superseded.
Big @problem, as no DNS queries could be forwarded to the upstream server. At 10:35 normal operations assumed and the problem was @fixed.
Fallback servers have been added to the Knot Resolver config to prevent this kind of issue in the future.
