Don't forget to watch Episode IV in the terminal!
$ telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
When I was younger I went out of my way to get a V6 address just to watch it in color ;)
- schmidp 14y agoNo color for me: Well, the IPv6 version is exactly the same as the IPv4 one. The difference is in the visitors... Je bent een Stoere Bikkel, aka You Rock.
- IgorPartola 14y agoapt-get install miredo That works as a last resort. Or sign up for SixXS using an AYIYA tunnel, apt-get install aiccu and enjoy.
- dfc 14y agoMiredo? AYIYA? Yuck. Just use HE.net's tunnelbroker and set up a 6in4 tunnel[1]. FWIW there was no color for me either when I connected via ipv6. Just the same message about different visitors as printed above. Just to be sure ran: telnet -6 towel.blinkenlights.nl [1] http://www.shorewall.net/6to4.htm#SixInFour http://www.shorewall.net/6to4.htm#SixInFour
- IgorPartola 14y agoMiredo/teredo is yuck indeed. ATIYA is not bad, I am not sure why you turn your nose to it. Practically it just adds 8 bytes to the headers compared to 6in4 yet is a lot easier to set up. Specifically, if you do not have a router that you control and that can do IPv6 and ip6tables, AYIYA is the easiest to set up and have a static address. I would not set it up for a server but for a small LAN it will be no different than 6in4.
- dfc 14y agoI understand what you are saying, AYIYA is not as bad as miredo. But lets face it: Router That You Control + IPv6 + ip6tables = Any Linux Box It is even easier with: Router That You Control + IPv6 + ip6tables + shorewall6 = Any Linux Box Configuring the linux box is essentially as easy as appending the following to /etc/network/interfaces: ### IPv6 auto he-ipv6 iface he-ipv6 inet6 v4tunnel address 1234:987:1234:743::2 netmask 64 endpoint 209.51.161.14 ttl 255 gateway 1234:987:1234:743::1 post-up sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 iface eth1 inet6 static address 1234:567:8901:1::1 netmask 64 Spend five minutes with /etc/shorewall6/shorewall6.conf and you are done. Granted my mom is not going to do that but for anyone on HN that should be a walk in the park.

- charlesju 14y agoThat's so awesome. I can't believe this exists. How did they make it?
- chrismarlow9 14y agoFrom the creator: http://www.asciimation.co.nz/asciimation/ascii_faq.html http://www.asciimation.co.nz/asciimation/ascii_faq.html From his page he says he just ported what this guy did to telnet.
- Wintamute 14y agoOh my God he made it in a simple text editor using copy and paste. Mind blown.
- Tekker 14y agoIt should be noted that the Star Wars asciimation guy also did the thoroughly awesome Jet Powered Beer Cooler using a jet engine built in his shed (in NZ) to chill his guinness to a respectable 2c, of which I am in awe. http://www.asciimation.co.nz/beer/index.html http://www.asciimation.co.nz/beer/index.html
