Who else worked #y2k?
I was at UUNET Canada, an ISP and had to work from 9-3am testing scripts after midnight. Spoiler: they all worked fine.
No pics of the night but found this one from my first day in 1997. I had to label each end of these ethernet cables between two banks of switches. #networking
Happy birthday to ARPANET, the forerunner of the modern internet! 53 years ago, the first message was sent over this pioneering network, paving the way for a world of interconnection and innovation.
As a tech enthusiast, I am constantly amazed by the ways the internet has transformed our lives, allowing us to communicate, learn and share ideas across boundaries and borders. From social media to e-commerce, from telemedicine to remote work, the internet has become an essential part of our daily routines, enabling us to connect with others and access a wealth of information at our fingertips.

Say it with me...
Network vulnerability!!!
A quick story/rant.. my cousin got my mother a new coffee maker. I don't expect my mom to use the WiFi functionality, but I'm still concerned about why we would need a whole coffee maker to have a small computer in it... I understand the versatility of not having a hub, and that hubs are also a single point of access for any malicious actors, but I'm sure a hub for multiple devices instead of a thing for a coffee maker would be updated much more frequently, and supported for longer.
If nothing else, maybe I can pull it into my janky Home Assistant setup somehow.
Even if it doesn't end up being a gateway for snooping on home network, it is quite silly, in my opinion.
Now, I must go check to see if anyone's hacked at these yet lol...

On February 1st 2024, AWS will start charging for IPv4 addresses. This is a big deal for the internet, and we're here to help you prepare.Supabase
This new standard will boost your internet throughput, no matter what speed you get.Steven Vaughan-Nichols (ZDNET)
I wrote a bot that parses the current #Mastodon instances and assigns them to the respective #ASN (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASN).
Interesting is the concentration on a few top ASN. Here for example the 10 most frequent ASNs as Pie Chart (as of 11/25/2022).
❤️ Thanks to @TheKinrar for the nice API for receiving the current mastodon instances.

Linux really needs to remove the “privileged ports” security theater bullshit.
We’re no longer living in the mainframe era. The security properties of the Internet are different to mainframes. This is actually an anti-feature that either complicates life or actually compromises security (when folks run servers as root and forget to drop privileges , etc.).
If anyone has any sway within the kernel team, etc., please do your thing.

Will we reach the end of this transition with a bang or a whimper?Geoff Huston (APNIC Blog)
