Does any one have a #BGP MRT dump with Geo-Location Extensions enabled (RFC 6397)? I'd like to test my implementation against some real tables, but couldn't find any so far. rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6397

Good thread about how ChatGPT is *not* a useful disability aid, which dovetails nicely with the reporting about how AI lowers productivity when it's forced into people's workflows

Excellent piece, including this quote from the head of Greece's statistical agency about why fights over data are also fights about whether a country can see itself clearly:

On the topic of "what on earth is Sovereign AI anyway?" this is pretty 👀 👀 👀https://bsky.app/profile/emryss.bsky.social/post/3lvnjepm5nc2u

i can’t shit post about work on linkedin. i mean I can and do. it gets zero engagement. unlike twitter where it got me literal paid engagements. plural. sigh

Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird. (he drew a bird into a spectrogram, played that sound to a starling, and the starling reproduced it back to him with enough accuracy he got his bird drawing back in their call's spectrogram) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQC...

U.S. Government Stages Fake Coup To Wipe Out National Debt

What I’m now calling egressV2 is pretty much done in kube-vip.io, native kernel calls and simple nftables rules should make for a much nicer experience. github.com/kube-vip/kub...

M&A activity plunges to lowest level in 20 years, surpassing even the worst point of the Global Financial Crisis 🚨🚨

Vibe coding with Erik Meijer using LLMs to generate circuits specified and formally verified in Agda and Lean, LLM transliterated into SystemVerilog with corresponding UVM tests and SVA formal properties for model checking, as well as LLM generated FSM Mermaid diagrams.

New fun short paper alert w/@raihanalam in PNAS! Learning about congressional stock trading reduces trust in congress, which in turn reduces citizens' own willingness to follow the law broadly. Ban it! Hope it helps @aoc.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Impressive. Very nice. Now let's see the investors.

2021: There is no AI, you're doing your own laundry. 2023: CEOs are saying that AI is coming and will do your laundry. 2025: There is AI. You're still doing your own laundry. 2027: You're doing the AI's laundry.

FT Alphaville is undefeated. The disdain for Altman is palpable and deserved.

it is resoundingly clear planes fly on DEI and not lift as previously believed

"persistently monitor and dynamically block TCP traffic using eBPF"

So that's what Big Balls did with the terabytes of data he stole from the National Labor Relations Board a few weeks ago.

Fair enough

#FPGA more functional programming upon LUTs

Recommend read, actionable format.

Everyone agrees something needs to be done about our total dependence on US clouds. But what? And who should do it? . Here I present a coherent actionable strategy that is concrete enough to disagree with. This reads well with the latest Euro-Stack letter also: berthub.eu/articles/pos...

My startup, @feldera.bsky.social, is looking for a remote #rust, Kubernetes, cloud engineer! Our founders are in the US but we have employees in Europe and Asia as well. See jobs.ashbyhq.com/feldera/9754... for details. You can apply there; feel free to post or DM questions. #rustlang

Okay Luigi absolutely didn't do it and this is a pin job

I teach “Foundations of Human-Computer Interaction” and we spend a significant portion of that class exploring how US gov funding (ARPA, DARPA and NSF) helps lay the foundations of the internet, most of the personal computing paradigm, search engines, virtual worlds, wearable tech, AI, etc.

With @kubernetes.io v1.33 I can easily apply a ephemeral container that intercepts traffic (with eBPF 🐝) and transparently encrypts it between pods. Doesn't show up as a container, so does that mean it isn't a sidecar 🤔

I'll spend my next few weekends building irrkit, a Rust SDK for accessing IRR information from major registries. It'll produce datasets like prefix-origin mapping and AS-SETs. I'll be reinventing wheels for sure, but it's my way of learning. Let me know what features you'd like to have. #BGP

Nervously excited that we have more current openings than we have ever had before at @oxide.computer

Power outage in Spain/Portugal affects fixed and mobile internet, because: - Fixed Internet at home often doesn't have backup power - Mobile sites have 2 hours of battery. Conserve energy by shutting down frequencies or prioritising phone calls (eg emergency) over internet

Multiple articles have been written about Bluesky being a dangerous echo chamber while the world’s richest and influential men are having their brains cooked in increasingly extremist group chats

African workers labeling data and providing content moderation are the invisible backbone of AI development. They perform critical labor under challenging conditions, often for minimal pay, yet remain absent from our conversations about the AI value chain.

no one over the age of 35 attends creative meetings? kids these days…

every time i go online i like it less. this sucks

TCP packets are now input/received in parallel in #OpenBSD -current. This follows work done previously on TCP output/send (in 7.7), once again by bluhm@! To take advantage of this, I believe as with parallel UDP, requires a driver that supports multiqueue: bnxt, igc, ix, ixl, ngbe, vmx, vio, aq.

Shout out to the people who left a bunch of positive reviews on the 404 Media Podcast this week after we explained how important that stuff is. Podcasts have a crazy discoverability problem so every little helps, thank you.

I see 1000280 IPv4 prefixes. This is 147 fewer prefixes than 6 hours ago and 1316 more than a week ago. 61.78% of prefixes are /24.

In this post for @kentik.bsky.social, @jobsnijders.bsky.social and I dig into the problem of excessively large AS-SETs — out of control route objects which can render IRR-based route filtering useless. Includes data analysis from @benjojo.bsky.social founder of bgp.tools.

Whether the "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign stole the music is up for debate, but I found today that the font they used throughout was a pirated clone (XBAND Rough) of a real font (FF Confidential).
