This looks really good. :)

Pity it's on GitHub Pages though, so people using IPv6 only can't access it. :(

Nice, I remember reading the old 2007 version a few years ago, so nice to see it's been updated for modern linux.

Perhaps one of the authors could update the old page to notify/direct users to the new version? Still ranks first when I google for it

Old version: https://tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/lkmpg.html

So offer to mirror it then. The D in git’s DVCS stands for “decentralised”.

I’ve heard some dumb complaints in my time but the real beauty of this one is you made it on another site that’s IPv4 only (HN doesn’t yet support IPv6 either).

Not the world's biggest fan of GitHub myself but to be fair they're about to support ipv6. They've started putting up AAAA records around other parts of the site if memory serves.

Do you have real examples of people that actually have zero access to IPv4 sites, or is this just a theoretical concern?

My ISP sometimes has outages of their carrier grade NAT infrastructure. Then the ipv4 is broken, but services that use ipv6 still work.

D in DVCS actually stands for distributed, but your point still stands ;)

Damn it, I knew that as well. That’ll teach me not to post on HN at 1 in the morning!

Thanks for the correction :)
