LibreNMS is great. If you put in the work, it can be wonderful. Those who were around at the time remember just how bad other systems were, then Observium's founder crashed out and LibreNMS, Observium's fork, really shined.

Any SMB would get amazing value out of LibreNMS to this day. Sadly, it's not really keeping pace with things like event driven architecture nor streaming telemetry. But building a modern LibreNMS in the aggregate with Streaming telemetry, grafana, prometheus, NATS, suzie-q, etc. is way harder than it seems. LibreNMS & it's intuitive UI & SNMP walking still makes me smile.

Sorry for the necro

yikess... sorry I'm reading this 7 months later, according to Lemmy.

If you still have this issue, feel free to DM me (here or via my mastodon handle, kazaii@noc.social )

 

VyOS 1.4.0 is finally here as a full LTS release (although, it's early production access).

So many great features are highlighted in the post. I've been using 1.4 images for quite some time, with great success, in my labs. Looking forward to using this one more.

Congrats to the VyOS team.

I've been using Nebula for a long time. It's great and definitely worth your time to setup.

I'd say they're comparable and have similar problems experienced in different ways.

On mastodon, a big name becomes the stress on the server. It's like people showing up to a small coffee shop to hear a politician speak about something. If the politician becomes more renowned / popular, eventually they have rallies. Eventually those rallies are broadcasted and licestreamed... All that means more infra and more $

Lemmy has the problem of communities. Communities sometimes gather in small places like a person's house or a bar. If that community grows large, maybe they need to have a conference / convention (like an anime or tech community). That means the instance that hosts that community has to has a conference sized instance, to host all the lads/lasses/etc of the fediverse.

More eyeballs / more discussion = more demand. Simple as that.

edit: I will add that there is one difference. You might have your own little small fragmented community, here on sh.itjust ... like for skateboards. More intimate discussion, etc. This would potentially prevent c/skateboards on an instance from growing too large....

But there is only one @gargron that most people will follow.

I am also following a specific community here on RSS. Nice to go through my articles and see someone asking for technical help / advice -- or simply sharing something cool.

This, and their other CC books, is a great starting place. Especially because it has a hands-on section you can build upon:

https://5g.systemsapproach.org/README.html

Maybe take a larger forest view of convergence & orchestration of a provides core.. from access to fabric.

Other than that, lots is being said about the true meaning of network source of truth. Check some NANOG talks for free on their YouTube channel. Check out Jeremy Stretch's fairly recent blog post on Netbox (packetlife.net).

If you're looking for more greybeard Inspiration, check out some great analysis from Geoff Huston on potaroo.net and think of interesting software defined ways to demonstrate his analysis (maybe become the next Kentik etc.)

Russ White & Ivan Pepnelnjak are also great grey beard thinkers.

Best of luck with your thesis.

Pretty good suggestions here. Can't remember the last time I saw such quality replies on r/networking .

[–] Kazaii@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Ah, maybe it was just slow to load and I rushed to delete it. Either way, I'm glad I did....

Good idea on the throwaway. It's time to rip off the band-aid.

Wow.. I just uninstalled Boost after midnight. Looks like it will be back soon :)

[–] Kazaii@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It stopped working for me after midnight and they put a banner explaining it in the bottom right. RIP to many good commutes browsing random info in my various subreddits.

Ou!! thanks for this.

Elden Ring

God of War

Hoping either one gets a good discount because I have a lot of train rides coming up.

 

Great project for anyone who likes what the Vyatta project was doing, or anyone who wants a more operator focused distribution of FRR.

I went to NANOG88 last week. It was a great time, and I haven't been since 76 in DC.

They just posted the talks yesterday. Allow me to share some of my favourites I attended:

AWS deep dive ( architecture hints & hardware used in AWS):

Design Driven Network Assurance (Person at MLB discusses his approach to Network testing automation.... he has previous talks on how the code works).

Deploying a backbone in APAC (A little fluff but F5 shares the troubles with submarine fiber in the APAC region).

New encrypted protocol stack (Mainly about QUIC pattern/flow detection & behaviour)

Keynote from Len (of Cisco) was nice. A lot better vibes than Cisco Live apparently had the week before.

Those are just the ones that stood out. There are some other interesting ones that I attended or wanted to attend but was busy doing the hallway track. I will start drafting my blog post on the content, once I've reviewed my notes & the slides.
