I was reading some stories (don’t ask my where anymore - might have been on reddit or Lifehacker) about silicone sponges to replace (the often gross) disposable sponges we used in the kitchen. Sounded like a great idea - something that you don’t need to throw away, that doesn’t become a bacterial warzone, durable.. but after trying it out I’ll be going back to the disposables.

This blog post “I Tried It: Goodbye Gross Disposables, Hello Silicone Sponge summarizes it nicely…

  • Wastes more soap/water - it just rinses off the sponge. It does the same with the bad bugs, but well…
  • Scrubbing is just a no go. No matter how much you try, it’s just not firm enough!
  • Breaks easily - the first sponge had several holes quickly enough. Might be because of the cheapo ones we got to try it out, though.

Using IPv6 outside of Docker with Docker

1 minute read

I recently activated IPv6 on my Netcup VPS, and in the process of setting it up on all my LXCs I noticed that for “reasons” the IPv6 default route would vanish after starting Docker (switching it all over to Podman is on my TODO list), effectively breaking the IPv6 connectivity on this LXC.

Enabling native IPv6 on Proxmox and LXC using SDN

In my original deployment of Proxmox on my VPS I only enabled IPv4, and I was using socat to forward traffic from the IPv6 address of the host to the internal IPv4 addresses of the containers. Not ideal, since this masks the external IP addresses, and also creates some latency and additional CPU load when processing IPv6.

Proxmox, LXC, and Debian Trixie

I run Proxmox Virtual Environment as my virtualisation platform. On top of this I use virtual machines using KVM and Linux Containers using LXC - both of which are natively supported on ProxmoxVE.
