Totally Blatant Crap

Because of the UI disaster, I’ve just now got the time to blog and blogwalking. Harry Sufehmi had given a shocking news on 24th Feb about IISA’s complain on IGOS movement (Indonesia Goes Open Source).

Java Could Not Connect To Host

If you are experiencing:
Caused by: java.net.SocketException: Network is unreachable
This is most likely because of the Debian bug to force all system using IPv6. According to the reference, you should do:
