  I think I’ve been in this industry for too long. I searched for a synopsis this morning and accidentally typed “synoptics” instead. Last week I was teaching the NATO phonetic alphabet and taught “unicorn” instead of “uniform.” #NetEng #SiliconValley

  Cloud services, data security risk, and limitation of liability clauses are a bit of a perfect storm. Too many of us use the services because they’re accessible, but we’re often blindly trusting that they will (or can - see CLOUD/NSL considerations) keep our data secure, and don’t consider that we have little to no recourse when they don’t. As always, #security and #sovereignty hold no priority over convenience… until it’s too late. #InfoSec

  Something to consider about all of the efforts to sustain #IPv4 so far beyond its original shelf life. #NAT and #IPv6 were thought out at roughly the same time. NAT was a tactical move to stave off IPv4 exhaustion (at the cost of limiting the peer-to-peer nature of the Internet) and IPv6 was the strategic answer for scalable growth. The obsession human beings have to find any excuse to avoid change was highly underestimated. IPv6 took 22 years to become an Internet Standard and NAT became so ent...

  Hedgehog's tie to Kubernetes potentially allows a cloud-as-abstraction approach to an organization's networks. It's a lot to wrap one's head around, but it has potential. #NFD38
