Building .NET using GitLab CI/CD

Filed under: DevOps,Tutorials — jae @ 04:02
As I often mention, I use .NET a lot in general, as it’s fairly easy to use, has a huge ecosystem, and has evolved really positively in the past years (long gone are the days of Mono :D). Another component of this is that .NET projects are incredibly easy to build and publish using GitLab […]

The state of IPv6 in Resonite

Filed under: Networking,Resonite — jae @ 03:58

It is 2025 and it’s still super easy to deploy a blog using Hugo and GitLab pages. In fact, the post you are reading right now is exactly that, deployed on my self-managed instance. But Jae, weren’t you on another host beginning from last year? Yes, last year I switched to Mataroa for the ease […]

GitHub and IPv6 in 2025

Filed under: Networking — jae @ 03:53
In this year 2025, the main GitHub domain still doesn’t serve over IPv6. Some subdomains do have IPv6 though, just… not what you would expect. For instance, avatars.githubusercontent.com: Whereas none of the other domains accessed when accessing github.com (named github.com, github.githubassets.com and alive.github.com) has IPv6. The package registry ghcr.io as well doesn’t support IPv6: And […]

I tested Horizon Worlds so you don’t have to

Filed under: Reviews — jae @ 03:47
In the middle of the year, I got a Quest Pro, mainly to use with Resonite for face and eye tracking. With this standalone headset made by Facebook, came a small program that (allegedly) cost them billions to make: Horizon Worlds, their own platform. You know, the one without legs. Well, I tested it for […]

Verkkokauppa.com DNS

Filed under: Networking — jae @ 03:44
Verkkokauppa.com is a chain of web and physical stores originating from (and limited to) Finland, akin of Amazon here if you will.
