I wrote this post because the xs4all->KPN transition was messy, especially on the VoIP side.
Emails and letters were incomplete lacking some essential information for manual configuration; 2nd line help desk did not return calls; pointers to where to find correct information were lacking.
This kind of is a catch all post with most of the links I found without much of their content so I can refer to them later when writing a more detailed post on how I did get VoIP to work.
So: for my link archive, almost all posts in Dutch.

Quite a few people already bumped into this the last two days (will add those links later), so today’s confirmation by Broadcom – who have a similar modus operandi as companies like Computer Associates and Symantec were and Idera is now – as of the ESXi death does not come as a surprise.

A while after writing notes on updating DNS info with bind DNS, b0rk (Julia Evans) posted about her DNS zine which got a reply about her DNS lookup tool. Below is part of that thread.
The reason I post is that – unlike the Google DNS ToolBox – you can bookmark her DNS tool link including the actual search part, which makes it far easier to do systems administration.
Examples:
There is a trace tool too:
The thread:

A long time ago, I wrote about Wifispots instellen | Klantenservice | Ziggo « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff.
For that, you need a Ziggo VPN certificate, which you can download from [Wayback] www.ziggo.nl/content/dam/www.ziggo.nl/tools/WifiSpots certificaten/WifiSpots certificaat Android en Windows Ziggo.crt .
On many Android phones, that does not install the default way any more as back then.
The reason is that it is a CA root certificate (in this case identifying Ziggo as certificate authority) thereby allowing them to issue any certificate. This can be a serious risk, so you have to be really sure to trust them before installing the certificate.

Every once in a while Jan Schaumann writes a long Twitter thread and saves it in a blog post. Always good ways to learn. This time it was no different: [Wayback/Archive] DNS Response Size started with

Steps:
- Edit the DNS zone file in
/var/lib/named/master
- Make sure you updated the SOA serial number
rcnamed restart- Watch
/var/lib/named/log/general for errors (you can even increase logging, for instance by reading [Wayback/Archive] this serverfault entry and editing /etc/named.d/logging) and – on my system – these other logs for the actual zone transfers:
/var/lib/named/log/in-xfer.log for incoming zone transfers on the secondary server/var/lib/named/log/notify.log for notifications of zone transfers on the primary and secondary servers/var/lib/named/log/out-xfer.log for outgoing zone transfers on the primary server
- Check on [Wayback/Archive] mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=dns:example.org&run=toolpage# to see if the SOA serials have been replicated (one day I will write a bookmarklet for this)
Alternatives for the last step are sites like these:
