That's because you're missing the "homelab" that comes before those words, like it's stated in the title, I opened the link and was greeted by exactly what I was expecting.
- metanonsense 2y agoCan you explain why you expected this from the title? When I hear „network routing“, the first thing that comes into my mind is IP routing, not a reverse proxy. With a „homelab“, I‘d never associate the need for a reverse proxy or SSL certificates.
- sambazi 2y agoyou're thinking "computer networking", they mean "webapp experimentation"
- superb_dev 2y agoMaybe they should use words that mean “webapp experimentation” instead of “computer networking”
- sambazi 2y agoimho it's a legitimate use of the term. though the tension of meaning suggests that there is room for clarification
- dfc 2y agoThe "homelab" modifier does a lot of work. When I read homelab I was expecting "easy way for non tech person to do computer magic." When I read about a "gun fight" I am expecting to read about violence and carnage. If you put the word "water" in front of it I am no longer expecting violence and carnage in a wet environment. Homelab changes the definition of everything that comes after it much like water changes the definition of gun fight.
- Dalewyn 2y ago>When I read homelab I was expecting "easy way for non tech person to do computer magic." Isn't that hypocritical? The very nature of a home lab means whoever owns it is a tech person. A "non tech person" wouldn't even know what a home lab is, at least in the context of computers and technology.
- dfc 2y agoI do not think it is hypocritical. I did not behave in a manner that contradicts something I have said or believe.
- AbraKdabra 2y agoI expected that because I didn't just read "network routing", I read "homelab network routing", I don't 100% agree with the title but nowadays a homelab means docker containers and a reverse proxy to expose them all. Also Zoraxy sounds a lot like "proxy", so there's that.
- kuschku 2y agoHomelab network routing means pfsense, opensense, vyos, ubiquity. What does this product have to do with "routing" at all? How is it a router?
- ComodoHacker 2y agoIt is routing web requests to backend endpoints, I guess.
- soneil 2y agoI think it's an interesting quirk that we don't use the same terms for what are essentially the same concepts. Switching is $verbing at layer 2, IP routing is $verbing at layer 3, NAT is $verbing at layer 4, and reverse proxying is $verbing at layer 5. I'd argue that 'route' is the right value for $verb here.
