00:05 <mack> Frigg: re-enable kodi configs for Allow remote control and Enable control through HTTP?

13:04 <Frigg> how can I backup libreelec to somewhere off-site (that is, another machine, basically). I thought I read something about restic with libreelec, but that might have been a dream...

16:18 <colo> Frigg: since restic is implemented in Go, all you need is a compatible kernel, and off you go. so yeah, it's certainly a valid solution to the problem of LE backups.

17:22 <Frigg> LE?

17:22 <Frigg> colo: I just downloaded the restic binary and setup my scripts to do a restic backup to my restic server - works well :)

17:23 <Frigg> all over ssh, so no software needed on the pi except the restic binary

17:35 <Frigg> why is it ipv6 is disabled by default?

17:43 <colo> Frigg: LE = LibreElec :)

17:43 <colo> Frigg: I am not sure about IPv6, but I think the LE devs just don't care too much about it.

17:44 <colo> (you can manually enable it, I would assume... I'll have to look into that some time, since I've recently taken care of properly dual-stacking my home network)

18:02 <Frigg> colo: I just did sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6=0

18:02 <Frigg> colo: some of my home servers (vm's) are not on ipv4

18:03 <Frigg> less forwarding hassle to do and so on

18:03 <Frigg> and IMHO everything should be on IPv6 these days

18:04 <Frigg> but I can only guess that the LE team hasn't done too much about security, so they've just disabled ipv6 since everything else is behind NAT anyway

18:04 <Frigg> so - I'll just enable ipv6 before starting backup, I guess, and then disabling it after that

18:05 <colo> Frigg: yeah, I think that's the line of reasoning (they don't want anyone to get pwned who does not have proper inbound filtering to their prefixes set up)

18:06 <Frigg> which is understandable

18:06 <colo> yeah, but the solution still feels kinda heavy-handed ;)

18:07 <Frigg> anyway - an nmap shows that my friend's ipv6 network is closed from inbound access, so I guess I'll just leave ipv6 open for now

18:08 <Frigg> that is - how...

18:08 <colo> I've never seen SOHO IPv6 equipment that will not filter out new inbound connections

18:08 <Frigg> well - I'll just add it to the script

18:08 <colo> but it's certain to exist somewhere :)

18:09 <Frigg> my ISP doesn't, but then, I've had a static IPv4 address from them for the last 10+ years

18:09 <colo> it's not your ISP that should do it, but your router

18:09 <Frigg> I use my own router ;)

18:10 <Frigg> the PoS router from the ISP is gently put into bridge mode

18:11 <colo> best thing you can do with stuff like that

18:11 <Frigg> my friends in Reykjavík had an earthquake of 5.2 last night and now - poff - a new volcano

18:12 <colo> I'd love to visit Iceland some day <3

18:13 <Frigg> these days would be nice, I guess :D

18:13 <colo> it's one of the few places I could imagine emigrating to :D

18:13 <Frigg> seems like the last two volcanos at Fagradalsfjall - nice and easy - tourist friendly

18:13 <Frigg> colo: I know the feeling - I even studied the language a bit some years back

18:15 <Frigg> oh - no voice there

18:15 <Frigg> that channel is rather good, btw

18:17 <Frigg> seems like a small one so far https://www.instagram.com/p/CuhoPI8qptl/

18:36 <Frigg> colo: I hope you're not feeling down… https://xkcd.com/2800/

18:52 <Frigg> colo: that's the eye of Sauron!!!

19:00 <colo> oh wow, looks SURREAL still!

19:01 <colo> thanks for sharing :)

19:43 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> Last time I did a straw poll nobody on staff had an ipv6 connection in use so it’s not “tested” and we aren’t personally clued up on where all the security gotchas and issue lie (but we know there will be some); so we default to off and rely on the very limited audience who really wants or needs it to also generally know what they’re doing

19:44 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> So far that’s proven workable

19:45 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> We get the occasional “but you’re doing it all wrong” user show up, but they generally fly-by and go back to polishing their tin-foil hat and leave us in peace

19:46 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> Eventually someone will show up and take the time to really test and educate us, and then our position can change, maybe

19:49 <colo> I can see how having it enabled is a hard sell in a world where so many people do not have proper IPv6 at home, and everone's used to NAT and overlay networking. unless some of the devs begin to reap the benefits of IPv6 at home, I guess it will be hard to make the case for it :)
