   Indeed, this is great for things where you want to do programmatic manipulation of routing. Something which ExaBGP is good at, but is very slow and Quagga/BIRD are really poor at, but are quite fast at.

   I also enjoyed the SciFi series. While it didn't posses the same level of Artiness that the Lynch adaptation had, it definitely was a very beautiful movie. There was very little CGI in the movie. Seriously real sets and some absolutely

   Interestingly. Our (minimal) traffic to github shifted transit carriers when this outage happened. Between 2016-01-28 00:39:47+00 and 2016-01-28 00:43:26+00 there was a flurry of BGP updates that caused that. I'm not sure on the exact

   Been there. Done that. No backups. Recovered all the data by using open file handles in /proc/. Not a fun two hours. Shit happens. Live and learn.

    My comment was quite joking in nature. > I hope github does make public a official reason tomorrow I do too, but, mostly I find post-mortems quite interesting to read. If your services are at some 95% uptime or lower, you're doing s

    Both DE-CIX and AMS-IX have exchanges in NYC now. Both have actually started branching out and building exchanges in many new cities. The traffic levels they're talking about are specific to both of their home markets (Amsterdam/F

    I replaced all of my door locks with Samsung SHS-3320/SHS-3321. These are standard RFID and I can (and did) buy cards/fobs for them super cheap. You can even stick a fob inside your hand/arm/face/whatever if you lik
