@jesopo bus -> airbus. Actually I guess it is called "taxiing"

@Aissen bgp.tools is basically always doing a /0 ICMP scan for https://map.bgp.tools . I don't think I've observed any serious blocking of that IP address, and anyone who did decide to block based on a single ping every 2 weeks likely does not make a accountable difference to numbers!

In general I believe my network is pretty much as reachable as anyone elses, I do run a commercial service form it and have yet to get complaints about lack of reachability

@yuka Yeah i sent the post and within seconds I realised that that would be mentioned, I edited the post on my end, but I assume your software does not support edits

@q It will likely be back in 2026, I just can't justify the costs this year

@nabijaczleweli Cheers, I have fixed the post!

@Tenzer Lol, that's a very ben mistake, I'll see what I can do to fix that..

@FritzAdalis OpenWRT on a SN2100 is... sorta comical, but I'm sure it would work

@grawity They will only accept (as far as I am aware) tik firmware, for the devices that mattrer in this case at least (The nice marvell chipset ones)

@erincandescent RouterOS does eventually grow on you, but the software stability/inter-op is the larger problem

@qwertyoruiop wtf, where did you get these switches from, that's bizzare

@lmierzwa Just don't lick the DC bus bar and you will be fine

@qwertyoruiop Yeah, Mellanox knocked it out of the park with the Spectrum switches. The only downside is that people think that they should run SONIC on them, a incredibly bad idea!

@qwertyoruiop Flash for what? the SATA disk? Have you managed to blow away the actual control plane's EFI/Firmware?

@holsta I'd much rather reviews of kit directly from the people who enjoy/suffer it, than some generic case study that has almost certainly been sterilized of any kind of criticism

@can Cheers! I've done as such

@jamesog yeah it's bizzare (I'm not in the UK right now FWIW), having grown up only ever seeing grey ones

@xssfox off the scale normal toots... how hard could it be

@kouett don't let them in the house

@eta Sometimes :tm:, because yubikeys compatibility along the ages is a bit of a mess, so not everyone who has yubikeys can/will have the ability to use P256, but the RSA path always works

@lambdafu @filippo @malwaretech @dangoodin 0.44% in my spot test ( https://benjojo.co.uk/u/benjojo/h/Cf8v9Dc539ty21y9K6 ), So not that far off

@malwaretech @filippo @dangoodin so I pulled the github keys of 1.4k people who follow me on github, and:

$ cat keys | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c 
     50 ecdsa-sha2-nistp256
      1 ecdsa-sha2-nistp384
      8 ecdsa-sha2-nistp521
      3 sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com
     14 sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com
    828 ssh-ed25519
    875 ssh-rsa

P521 is used more than P384, but it's all tiny volumes compared to the actually correct option of ed25519.

I don't think P521 (or, in general ECDSA) keys are that widely used, either that or my followers are smarter or dumber than the average

@filippo The 2015 survey had ECDSA keys as near nil levels, but that was also before you could even slightly reliably use them. I don't have the DB on hand (I'm abroad right now), but I don't remember seeing P521 being popular at all

@filippo there is some small irony here in that the people most likely impacted here are the configuration ricers, I doubt many people have/had P-521 keys on the go, other than people blindly trying to hit the highest numbers possible

@timezone Bonus tip, when your tables get big enough, it's well worth the effort to dump each table into it's own .sql file. So you can easily recover each table individually if you blow up just one table, or restore more than one table at once

@astrid @dee hmm,

Best to use a flooding protocol like OSPF (if you only want to handle humans), or IS-IS (if you want to handle arbitrary beings, humans, other-kin, etc)

Otherwise with BGP you may not see relationships that you would not "use" immediately

@HeNeArXn It would appear that musl does not care for the more weird stuff: https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/network/inet_aton.c

Of course, inet_aton's other legacy will be all of the "trick shot" XSS / WAF bypasses that it allows, since nearly everything is a valid IP address with that damn function.

During the time where I was the maintainer of a largely deployed WAF product, inet_aton was a constant pain in the ass due to all of the creative ways you could fit IP addresses in places that should not have IP addresses in them.

@cks I think the DIMM trains just fine (at least looking at the BMC seems to imply so), it's just when the DIMM then "enters the ring" it triggers so many correctable errors so quickly that the CPU just CATERR's out.

The whole memory system is magic, but i'm kind of surprised that the system is not smart enough to "kick out" a DIMM that is partially bad (trains fine, can't reliably remember things)

@MissAemilia Yeah the issue was two fold, one that this was a blade that had not yet had it's IPMI reset, so I needed to boot it in order to see those messages, two the serial console/VGA console could not init before the bad DIMM would take the system down

The second issue was that the chassis/firmware/whatever had a limit of how many ECC correctables can happen in a short time, this DIMM seemed to have DDR4 trained just fine, but instantly blew past this limit to the point where the CPU CATERR'd

@lmierzwa ...

@demize That being said, I still prefer email to getting random telegram/discord/IRC/etc from my customers/prospects. So much that I redirect them on purpose into email.

It's just so much easier to manage a lot of email than it is instant messaging, since lots of email is not a uncommon problem for someone to have.

The other issue is that I've now developed email client opinions, even though I use web gmail still, I yearn for the old school office outlook... I totally understand some of the features that exist in that program now

@demize It's safe to say I've gotten over any reservations I had around sending email/messages to people. I barely even think before hitting Ctrl+Enter now

Update to the "how is Ben's life doing" as measured by email. I'm not entirely at what point this nose dives into flames.

@alice https://www.crowdsupply.com/1bitsquared/glasgow , basically a very useful hardware signals debugging / prototyping tool

@PurpleJillybeans are you sure you have the right device? What does lsusb say?

If possible could we redirect this to email? Ben+vga@benjojo.co.uk
