I guess I should've gone with M4 Max with 128G and not cheap out =(

It is this time of the year when a bunch of us are working on the #SReXperts hackathon exercises that attendees gonna dig into. Starting in Tarragona, Spain, this June.

I am leading the @eda.dev stream and, oh, boy, you are all in for a treat. We are skating to where the puck is going to be.

Interesting how video editors on a phone do almost everything one needs for a quick on the road marketing

Building cool networking labs that reach well beyond the networking boundaries and inviting application stacks to the lab playground is why we built @containerlab.dev

With KinD and containerized NOSes we can build crazy things that fit in the low-end host just fine.

This store has everything a sys admin needs

The "hidden" @eda.dev treasure is that the "event-driven" in the name is not really about you creating automation based on events.

But it is an inherent platform design pillar - everything is a signal, everything is streamed, and there is no poll.

If you are shopping for a new home router, look no further.

576x800G ports should be just enough for Netflix

Who is here a sucker for beautiful network diagrams?

I am for sure one.

I love the Outernet name www.rivada.com tries to TM
Clever =)

And a ground-less competitor to starlink is always a pleasant surprise

Building this 30+ nodes cluster with Talos and Pulumi on openstack was fun. Learned a lot.

Can't say that I use it much, but I definitely keep it :D

Also why tf the control plane node #3 died?

I share the sentiment that the CLI is dead only when your CLI sucks.

We strive to make our CLI spark joy, so you'd rather bury something else.

Like letting you write your own show commands, so that you take back control over the CLI for operational tasks

Easy to forget that on a macOS you are knee deep in the BSD relics.

When I was trying to tshoot why I can't reach docker network in orbstack VM I got reminded about `pf` being a thing. 😮‍💨

How much easier would it be if macos used a Linux kernel, eh?

The extensibility of mkdocs is just great.

It marries the markdown's super simple spec with advanced functionality while keeping writing the docs simple.

Today I found that with the Blocks extension you can make Steps look great

Many of us who do YT vids, or streams use @elgato.com Key Light products.

Not many of us know that Elgato Control Center app on a mac sends ping requests to the Key Light device every two seconds.

We recently removed gomplate from @containerlab.dev dependencies, since gomplate brought so many things we don't use, bloating the dependency tree and making the clab binary twice as large.

After we removed it, this is what containerlab v0.63.3 binary holds

(thanks to github.com/Zxilly/go-si...)

Was not kidding

No rest for the wicked 😆
I have some badass colleagues who know enough typescript to be dangerous.

@containerlab.dev got its own @vscode.dev extension baby

Thanks Florian & @labbing.rocks for this delivery, I bet it will make a lot of people happy

I'll work on this design a little, but our next @eda.dev swag delivery will feature this T for sure

We've had a decent outbreak in the NAF slack dunking on YANG and how miserable things are with it and how much better they are in the non networking domains.

The whole discussions sparked my interest to record a video about how we are solving this in EDA.

Here is "how" for those who read

nftables API is not sexy (what C API is?) but despite the ugliness it feels so much better not parsing the output of iptables commands.

Now if only nftables were universally supported by the distros

Do we get more CKAs than CCNAs nowadays?
Are we ready to manage networks via k8s interfaces?
January 12, 2025 at 1:28 PM
Look what's cooking 😎

It's been a long time coming, but we had to wait for EDA to arrive because we think it is time to automate our networks with tools designed for it.

OK, I can now certify your collection for a small fee
