2025–W13 #
Work has been a blast. I'm getting use to knowledge that I swapped out to disk a while ago and it feels good. I'm already involved in an incident: I do like a steep onboarding process.
I've set up a dedicated desk for work, instead of trying to make swapping between mice/keyboards/monitors and webcams all work correctly. I had the room to spare, and a budget.
The LX optic showed up. I had no way of testing it but today (Saturday) I put it in the Procurve and swapped the fiber, only losing 4 seconds worth of ping packets along the way. I also racked the server that I bought in ~the middle of last year. It's finally about to be pressed into production service.
I am looking at RFC 3069 as a method of IP address conservation, given Colocataires tiny allocation of v4s. (v6s to beat the band).
The first OttawaSystems happened and it fucking rocked. We had a sketchy moment when I brought the wrong power lead and it was a bit of a hurried thing getting set up but importantly:
- People showed up.
- Speakers gave good talks.
- People had a good time.
Which is basically the whole thing. It was 20-something people and I just wish I'd snagged a photograph. The videos are here though!
