• 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. I have not done... Source: over 1 year ago

• 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.

• The day I canceled my Spotify subscription

  I switched to https://qobuz.com, mainly for the high audio quality (it goes up to 192kHz 24bit, which is worth it for me as I have the necessary equipment to make use of this), but it also supports "Spotify quality" i.e. Mp3 quality/320 kbps, but I stayed for the experience. It does not really have an algorithm, there is one playlist "My weekly Q", which updates each week with songs that you could like. The only... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Mr. Bungle - Nananana (lost fake song)

  Hi, anyone remember that song? I remember I downloaded it from ares and I liked it but unfortunately it wasn't by mr bungle, it was just mislabelled (like the toxic cover). If anyone has it around I would like to hear it again! On last.fm it comes up as some people listen to it from time to time. Any info you have, or the original artist, I'd appreciate it. From what I remember it sounded like a demo and just said... Source: 7 months ago

• 1970’s music makes me feel the most alive. What music does that for you?

  Try last.fm, great website for recommending music. Those one's you suggested are a bit more jazzy than I usually listen to but maybe try What's Goin' On - Marvin Gaye. Talking Book, or Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder. Couple of my favorites. Source: 7 months ago

• I Tried Apple Music and That Made Me Realize How Much Polish TIDAL is Missing

  However, I can fully enjoy my last.fm subscription with Tidal thanks to the integrated scrobbler. I could with AM too but it would be necessary to download (and buy) two different scrobblers : one for iOS and one for macOS. Then, I feel like Tidal has more interesting recommendations, especially when we talk about lesser-known artists. Tidal Rising allows for nice discoveries while AM is much more focused on music...
