A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins

This guide is for homelab admins who understand IPv4s well but find setting up IPv6 hard or annoying because things work differently. In some ways, managing an IPv6 network can be simpler than IPv4, one just needs to learn some new concepts and discard some old ones.

Let’s begin.

First of all, there are some concepts that one must unlearn from ipv4:

Concept 1

Chirp AudioBook Download Script

⚠️ Not currently working. Chirp changed something that broke this script.

This script eases the process of downloading the audio files from Chirp Audiobooks. It uses the browsers console to generate a list of URLs, and then provides a list of curl or wget commands to download them.

Tested with Firefox + Terminal on MacOS, and Firefox + PowerShell on Windows 10.

Essential JavaScript Links

I no longer mantain this list. There are lots of other very comprehensive JavaScript link lists out there. Please see those, instead (Google "awesome JavaScript" for a start).

Jekyll & Liquid Cheatsheet

A list of the most common functionalities in Jekyll (Liquid). You can use Jekyll with GitHub Pages, just make sure you are using the proper version.

Running

Running a local server for testing purposes:

Chrome Flags

This information source from the following url:

And also in the chromium source:

Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).

Unfortunately, the Cisco AnyConnect client for Mac conflicts with Pow. And by "conflicts", I mean it causes a grey-screen-of-death kernel panic anytime you connect to the VPN and Pow is installed.

As an alternative, there is OpenConnect, a command-line client for Cisco's AnyConnect SSL VPN.

Here's how to get it set up on Mac OS X:

OpenConnect can be installed via homebrew:
```
 brew update
```

brew install openconnect
