"In Transit" is all I can get on the packages I was expecting last Friday. No biggie, couple dozen bucks worth of adapters, but one's coming FedEx (whom Amazon contracts with here, we don't have Amazon-branded trucks in my region), and the other is coming UPS, but out here, UPS mostly hands off to USPS, so I get a key to a lockbox in my PO Box.

That .iso I posted will be available "soon". Only one of my WAN links has a static IP address. So when I pinned that download, it didn't work because of "intermittency" which could have other causes besides the IP address, kinda hard to troubleshoot from out here over the edge. The borked state of that 2GB file, means that at this point pretty much every IPFS node on the planet is trying to connect, getting a 256Kb chunk, encrypting it, reflecting it back to me, and yet even though it's now "assembled" on my TV (long story), every IPFS node on the planet is still trying to connect to do the same thing because overall, the operation is stuck at the final stage of completion. I don't change router configurations lightly. I know what to do, and I know how to do it, but not until I've documented it out for myself and made backups etc. so this is my all-day project, but I need to restrict IPFS to my static-IP WAN port, because I "pinned" to self-host the file from my TV. Which costs nothing, for anyone, for as long as the file is retained, meaning in this case after the next release, this one will slowly fade away. So I'm hoping folks will try it. I've long used bittorrent for but one purpose: distro sharing, even if I didn't like the distro, any distro I come across that's available via BT. I'm also really an HTTP guy when it comes to setting up a host to serve a file. I don't fall for protocol hype. Had I already known what I was doing when I posted the .iso, it would've shared right out there in the midst of all this, no problem. Although, it will likely be the case that once I've reconfigured the router, it will only be available via IPFS, because those HTTP-IPFS gateways seem to be impacted by something which prevents them from being available long enough to transfer a 2GB file. -Eric https://illumos.topicbox.com/latest / illumos-discuss / see https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss + https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/members + https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/subscription https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/T2c766ee23140896a-Mfb58ce2c73fef2247c07bb21 ------------------------------------------ illumos: illumos-discuss Permalink: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/T2c766ee23140896a-M62b574d29ae99b0057a34287 Delivery options: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/subscription
