Same! At previous company I worked at we used BGP for all internal/external routing about 15 years ago despite all the poo-pooing by using BGP as an IGP. It was nice having no route redistribution and one command to monitor sessions.

Nice thanks! I’ve been wanted to learn it as dealing with cert expirations every year is a pain. My guess is that we will have 24 hour certs at some point.

It might help to take a look at Arista/Metamako 10G L1 switches for some inspiration. These are 48x ports and use the FPGA for specific network applications (including switching). You might be able to find some of the older models on

Another silly workaround would be to take a screenshot of “/etc/hosts” and use images instead. Would break text browsers/reading mode though.

It would be kind of funny if we build a space probe with an LLM and shoot it out into space. Many years later intelligent life from far away discovers it and it somehow leads to our demise do to badly hallucinated answers.

Really impressed by how low the load average is (0.06 @15 min).

If you look up your address here it will give you the cost breakdown. ( https://sunroof.withgoogle.com/ ) I just checked my house again and it’s $30K for 10kW, but there is a $10K tax credit, so the subsidy is a 1/3 of

As an aside, this is a great website to browse old B&W photos. Some of these scans are really breathtaking. https://www.shorpy.com/

A while back I stumbled on a way to crash my company’s Jira server simply by sending an email to it containing an emoji. Makes me wonder if that could have been abused by malicious parties if they knew the email address we used to forward

As an aside, if you are purchasing an older home make sure you pay for a sewer line inspection. I had no idea this was a thing until a few years later when I had to replace mine and it cost ~$25,000.

Good point, the website looks like it's 25+ years old so who knows what is running under the hood to keep it going.

>If you disable ARP, you can have a group of servers on the same network configured with the same IP! The downside to this is that a switch/bridge will not learn the MAC address and continue to flood/broadcast these packets to

It might be easier for DOGE to just close shop and implement a flat tax than try to untangle that ball of wall of wax...

I seem to recall this causing buffer overruns/bad CD-Rs if you did this with the old 1x/2x CD burners.

Good writeup! Google really screws you when you are looking for 100G speeds, it's almost insulting. For example redundant 100G dedicated interconnects are about $35K per month and that doesn't include VLAN attachments, colo x-co

If you are running into BSODs right off the bat, that sounds like you could have faulty hardware (bad memory, sketchy PSU, etc).

I'm not sure if it's worse, since AFAIK these don't leak. I have a IBM PS/2 system that I inherited that I plan to restore some day. Sure it's a pain but glad there was no damage to the board.

I'm a big fan of HDHP's since you can save/accrue money in a health savings account and not lose it. While the deductible is super high, my employer has a good health plan and once you hit it everything is covered 100% (coin

I've found Copliot to be really good at generating funny memes and haikus for specific issues/tasks where I work. The productivity gains come from me not having to use Photoshop and have more time to browse websites like this one

Same, I had a Capresso grinder for about 11 years now and it works fine. Parts are available as well. I’m sure that there are better ones, but it makes me wonder if it’s like audiophile territory. I don’t think I would be able to tell th

This is really cool. It reminds me a bit of a game that came out around that time called Majestic that would actually chat with you on your actual AIM account. I wonder if the game would be more successful with the power of today’s LLMs.

That seems very reasonable to me. It seems like the pentest companies I have worked with in the past charge that much and just do a lazy nmap/metasploit scan and wrap it into a nice PDF.
