• Linktree alternatives that are less likely to be flagged by insta, and how to restart my account?

• What did I learn after 10 days studying front-end web development?

  Almost all social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) allows you to share only one link. If you have a lot of links you want to share, you have some “solutions” for that, like Linktree and Beacons. So, problem solved, right? In my case maybe, since monetizing content is not my main goal. But using these tools to share your links can be a SEO problem. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Automatic BGP traffic engineering

  At one of my previous employers we wrote some custom software to interface with Quagga. Seems like Quagga has fallen out of favor for things like BIRD. We use our software to monitor for various things and dynamically adjust the path prepends to "shape" the traffic and cause the multihomed traffic to push to different datacenters around the globe.

• Reasons a Raspberry Pi Belongs in Your Network Lab

  * [1] https://bird.network.cz/ I'd actually love "enterprise raspberry", some small machine that we could shove 3-6 of them in 1RU, but once you add enterprise tax and all of the doodas to make it manageable (OOB management), it gets expensive enough to rival "just an old server". - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• I can't decide on my router/firewall platform. Which one do you think is the most stable and future proof?

  Currently Wireguard handles all of my VPN connections, but I used OpenVPN and IPsec in the past. I run multiple paths through my VPN network and use BGP to handle the preference and failover between them. I am using BIRD instead of the included OpenBGPD, because I also have some Ubuntu machines that also run it and wanted consistent configs between them but OpenBGPD should also work well.

• Identity Management for WireGuard

  You can run dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF or iBGP over Wireguard. It's not built in, but that's a feature, not a bug—do one thing and do it well. I have a full mesh of Wireguard tunnels configured between home/office/datacenters/laptop, and run bird[0] on the VPN endpoints to direct traffic between them.

• How deeply are you able to understand your work?

  I've spent a lot of hours these past few weeks in the docs and codebases for Cilium, Calico, BIRD, MetalLB, PureLB, Longhorn, CephFS, and Rook. Do I understand 100% top-to-bottom how those systems work? No. Do I understand "enough" of how those systems work to produce a good solution to the core business problem we're trying to address? Yes.
