There I was, thinking everybody had the same definition of a "lame delegation" in the DNS. mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/dn…

No #road2tnc for me this year, but at least I can be grateful to TNCs past whilst sitting at the garden furniture.

On a call with Openreach about their optical products earlier and the front door goes. Answer it to find a few engineers from … Openreach. (They’re doing the FTTP build and all the ducts are blocked with tree roots and want to sling some fibre over the house between two poles.)

I wonder if the BGP Path Selection mechanism is more widely understood among RIPE NCC members than Instant Run-Off / Single Transferrable Vote ballots…

Interesting stat from Geoff Huston at #RIPE86. Use of open resolvers (e.g. Google DNS, OpenDNS, Cloudflare) in EU has dropped from 30% of users in early 2022 to 10% of users now. Will people be any more likely to use DNS4EU?

Totally not having #FOMO about #TNC23.

PSA: Not all weekly meetings need to be at 14:00 on Wednesday.

Bring on the FTTP build, but I'd feel much more comfortable with today's presentation if Openreach vans hadn't just turned up outside to sling fibre between one telegraph pole and the pole that serves me due to blocked ducts.

Why oh why do people use DD-MM-YY in filenames rather than YY-MM-DD, which can actually sort properly? (Discussions on the use of dates that have MM first are out of scope.)

OP: "Anyone having issues with NTP across AS6453?" NANOG: "Why don't you use GPS or have your own atomic clock for your stratum 0?"

Hmm, should I pay for Travelodge UK hotel wifi (5Mbps down, 1Mbps up), or use tethered 5G (77Mbps down, 49Mbps up)?

According the RIPE NCC alloclist, yesterday's IPv4 transfers into uk.microsoft were: 5 x /16 1 x /15 1 x /14 1 x /13 1 x /12 At a (conservative) estimate of US$45 per IP address, that's US$103M of transfers.

Thread on <mailing list> discussing the pitfalls of a weekly posting of list stats (e.g. number of messages posted by each participant) has now exceeded the number of those messages sent to the list in a year...

As someone who did sysadmin for particle physicists in the 1990s, it was a bit of a surprise to me too.
