After many months of constant development, the Debian project is proud to present its new stable version 7.0 (code name Wheezy).

This new version of Debian includes various interesting features such as multiarch support, several specific tools to deploy private clouds, an improved installer, and a complete set of multimedia codecs and front-ends which remove the need for third-party repositories.

This is how they look like in a close-up:

LSZH Tower therefore diverts departing traffic through a non-standard DEGES 2W departure route…

Here’s a document written by a Colonel of the Swiss Air Force, published in the ILA magazine on 11th September 2012.

[Update 2nd May 2013]
In 2002 the swiss government prohibited the use of drones for surveillance of manifestations such as the 1st of Mai, arguing the application of drones to be unlawful. Though the law for public surveillance hasn’t changed meanwhile, the military application of the drone yesterday seems to have been legally admitted.

Extract of 10v10 swiss TV 1st of May 2002:

Mich interessieren zum Glasfasernetz folgende technische Fragen:

Paket Filterung
Können Sie mir bestätigen, dass der Datenfluss durch das Glasfasernetz nicht von den Providern durch ein “packet shaping” beeinträchtigt wird?

Antwort: Wir machen weder filtering noch shaping.

Direkte Anbindung
Können Sie mir bestätigen, dass bei der Glasfaser Anbindung die Datenpakete den direkten Weg nehmen, nicht wie beispielsweise bei UPC Cablecom, bei welchem der Datenfluss den Umweg über einen Proxy in Holland nimmt?

Antwort: Ja

Lawful Interception
Können Sie mir bestätigen, dass der Datenverkehr innerhalb des ewz.zurinet nicht durch eine “lawful interception” Einheit “abgehört” wird?

Antwort: Bei uns nicht.

IPv6
Ich nehme an, dass die Provider des ewz.zurinet vollständig IPv6 unterstützen. – Ist dies richtig?

Antwort: Ja

SMTP
Zudem gehe ich davon aus, dass sich die Provider betreffend SMTP Protokoll vollumfänglich an die RFC 5321 halten. Dies ist bei Providern wie Bluewin etc. leider nicht der Fall…

Antwort: Aktuell ist RFC 5321

Quote Fefe:

Übrigens, kurzer Blick ins Ausland: In der Schweiz kriegt man für 90 Franken (ca 75 Euro) pro Monat 100/100 Internet nach Hause. Und das ist ein vergleichsweise kleiner Provider, nicht mit Swisscom oder der Telekom vergleichbar. Da fällt dann 100 MBit aus der Leitung, kein Shaping, keine Trafficdiskussion, mit IPv6 und ohne PPPoE oder ähnliche Ranztechnologien. DAS GEHT ALSO. Und das ist in der Schweiz, wo der Provider für den Aufbau des Netzes selber zahlen. Nicht wie bei uns, wo der Steuerzahler das gezahlt hat.
