Anurag Bhatia Looks like outage in the DWDM segment between Marseille and Paris as per TATA 👀

Very sad news coming from my ex-colleagues at AS10029 - today morning our good friend Shashank Dubey passed away. :( Om Shanti.

Had good interaction with the Powertel (Powergrid Telecom) - AS132215 team at #IMC earlier in the day. Very few people know about the massive optical transport network Powertel has in India.

Any Linux (desktop/laptop) user here? What do you use for spreadsheets on Linux? Tried onlyoffice - felt little buggy over time, Libreoffice UI feels quite hard to use. Hard to not use a cloud based spreadsheet software.

Contabo India > NTT AS17439 > Extreme IX VPP > Google. This seems like a new setup. This was earlier Contabo > NTT > Tata Comm AS4755 > Google. We are now going into: "Layer 3 peering is bad" -> "Hey Google uses layer 3 peering, what can possibly go wrong?" kind of questions.

Interesting. Gotta fire some traces from Pakistan now. :) ripe.net/participate/fo…

HR: Gap in your resume, can you explain? Rishi : Needed a break from the corporate grind. HR: Okay, what did you do? Rishi : Joined the UK government as PM and ran the United Kingdom for a bit

Seems like RIPE NCC has recently added the RRC-info - API - stat.ripe.net/docs/data-api/… Pretty cool. Can now use this data directly instead of computing from MRT dumps. :)

Remembering my good friend Shashank Dubey AKA Delhi Gateway - anuragbhatia.com/post/2025/10/r… ☹️

Govt. messed up PM-WANI project big time. Instead of a system of centralised authentication to get rid of liability factor if misuse happens, it became a "get rich with passive income" scheme. It could have solved by legalising wifi at hotels, restaurants etc. So much more.

Harsh message gives idea of bad things went there.

Arrived in Mumbai earlier in the day. Hotel was 3.5km from the airport. Uber + Ola in starting range of 500-600 INR, Rapido a little but similar. 400m walk + Mumbai metro + 400m again = 20 INR. Without good public transport cities will just become absolute mess.

Have seen the same. Siti cannot do basic timezone conversion these days and does a search for that!
