Good news, we've found a new home and will be back on 12th June, in "Henry's Den" downstairs at Finch's, Finsbury Square; a short walk from Moorgate, Old Street & Liverpool St maps.app.goo.gl/9wDtEW18MZqY...

I see 1000028 IPv4 prefixes. This is 240 more prefixes than 6 hours ago and 970 more than a week ago. 61.78% of prefixes are /24.

I have made it to the Holy Land. My pilgrimage is complete.

Is there a way to make @bsky.app not save images to Camera, but to its own directory instead? I don't need memes backed up to Google Photos

Congrats on getting to space @tracketpacer.bsky.social !

I feel this in my bones

Bit preoccupied with anything not thinking sand this week.

Both the New York Times and Washington Post obituaries for Jimmy Carter have joint bylines including writers who have been dead for years. The Guardian ran an obit with a single byline—and yes, the writer has been dead since 2021.

Things I have learned to hate today: ARC. Just. No. AND IT'S STILL NOT WORKING. Cable swapping time tomorrow I guess.

Pogued at the start of Black Doves. That's a bit rude @netflix.com

It's hard enough as is to not call gNMI "OIDs as ProtoBuf" and you go ahead and pull this stunt... Goddammit Roman!

Anyway… Here’s a visualization of all the curse words being used on Bluesky in real time. Each word is a cute fluffy little profane cloud. It’s oddly soothing. H/t @bagpuss.org #SwearSky swearsky.bagpuss.org

Rise and shine Mr Freeman, rise and shine!

Tomorrow (2024-11-14) I'm making a (hopefully somewhat entertaining/interesting) fool of myself at #NetLdn 7PM sharp @ The Wheatsheaf netldn.uk/2024/11/08/n...

Challenge accepted!

A wild Barry appears at #RIPE89 to talk about IXP manager v7. #INEX being awesome yet again.

Mirjam Kühne kicking off #RIPE89 in Prague, excited to see old and new faces.

Neighbours across the hall borrowed my hammer and screwdriver on Saturday. Still haven't returned it...

Yesterday, rpki.cloudflare.com/rpki.json was migrated to #OpenBSD rpki-client to replace #OctoRPKI. It has a new production architecture, and is backed by @cloudflare.social R2. A VRP will be uploaded roughly ever 13 minutes (10 minute sleep + 3 minute validation time), and cached for 20m.
