The Linux Victoria elections were not announced on the luv.asn.au mailing lists (which Alexar was always capable of sending email to). Therefore LUV members were not invited to the meetings unless they had decided to sign up for Linux Victoria. The previous discussions on these lists show that there are more than a few people who are LUV members who are not members of Linux Victoria and were not aware of what it was doing. > Members who meet in person have continued to do so, but > it appears there are many members on the old mailing list who are not up > to date; this is not surprising, as the list was not functioning > correctly until very recently and while I was previously the primary > list moderator, the software kept kicking me out and eventually I The software was however working well enough for the Linux Victoria people who wanted to argue about whether unsolicited bulk email (UBE) is spam. https://www.luv.asn.au/ Linux Victoria has been transitioning to become a separate organisation to LUV over the course of years. If you look at the LUV web site (which I have recently restored to functionality) the last event listed is from 2024. That seems to be when Linux Victoria cut ties to LUV. I've attached an archive of the web page Alexar put on the LUV web site to redirect people to Linux Victoria over a year ago. When he did that he made a commitment to keep the Matrix server etc running which he broke by not renewing the domain. I don't think it would be in anyone's best interests to try and reunite Linux Victoria and LUV at this stage. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

DNS routing and the luv.asn.au domain
by Russell Coker 03 Jul '26

03 Jul '26

DNS=144.76.186.21 Domains=luv.asn.au If you add the above 2 lines to the end of /etc/systemd/resolved.conf (or put them in a separate file in the /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/ directory) and run "sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved.service" you will have a separate DNS configuration for the luv.asn.au domain. Note that you can't have multiple separate DNS servers for different domains using the above, so this won't give what you want if you already have a private DNS server. After setting up the domain the command resolvectl should give output like the following: Global Protocols: +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported resolv.conf mode: stub DNS Servers: 144.76.186.21 DNS Domain: luv.asn.au Link 2 (mb) Current Scopes: none Protocols: -DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/ unsupported Default Route: no Link 3 (wifi) Current Scopes: DNS LLMNR/IPv4 LLMNR/IPv6 Protocols: +DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/ unsupported DNS Servers: 8.8.8.8 DNS Domain: coker.com.au Default Route: yes This shows that the "Default Route" for DNS is 8.8.8.8 while the route for luv.asn.au is 144.76.186.21 This will allow it to keep working for you until we get the domain renewed. NB Make sure you remove this after the renewal. The resolvectl command is supposed to be able to set this and I have done it in the past, but I can't work it out from the man page and the google hits haven't turned up anything useful. Anyone know how to use resolvectl to do this? Before anyone says "read the source", I have read quite a bit of systemd source and it is not easy for outsiders to understand. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

It seems that Alexar has renewed the domain and also changed the tech contact. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
