Network Automation is my profession. SR Linux and EDA @ Nokia ex @ntdvps on Twitter
Winter holidays were full of nazis for me. My first computer game was wolfenstein 3D. There was no 3D ofc. Anyway, this track is sick
webp has been there for years now. Don't let it be the next ipv6 @github.com
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
Han Solo case arrived safely to the Cloudfest 2025 and whispers with all it's fans
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.
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...)
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 marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa...
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?
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.
Jokes aside, but I am entering the the ansible collection certification process for our SR Linux ansible collection. Eager to see how my powerful clab-based, gh actions testing matrix will be received by the RH team. I have no units whatsoever, full blown e2e and functional testing only
Small step for us, but a big step for humanity. Ghostty, wezterm, alacritty, kitty terminfo files are coming to SR Linux. Because we care.
When I author posts I always make sure I break down long commands to eliminate horizontal scroll. No one likes horizontal scrolls, if you want to up your writing game, make sure you pay attention to this little detail.
