Wow. Fifteen years since I became a founding member of the #FNS. Great experiences, great people, dubious networking. https://flatnetworksociety.com/ #NetEng

Auditor: Can you send a screenshot of the access VPN timeouts so we can demonstrate policy compliance?
Me: (Sends relevant portions of the configuration.)
Them: This is a text file. We need a screenshot.
Me: (Sends screenshot of my terminal session showing the relevant portions of the configuration.)

We have dozens of relatively simple methods to secure Internet traffic, but we’re often reduced to “just open access through your firewalls from this huge list of source addresses” because too many folks can’t be arsed to do any of those. Keeping it simple is •not• about moving the complexity into the customer’s realm of responsibility. #NetEng #InfoSec

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

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

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 entrenched that peer-to-peer networking became mostly unnecessary as long as we could continue to laugh at cat memes on our favourite platforms.
This brings us to #platforms. It’s getting harder to host anything ourselves anymore without paying a (usually foreign) IaaS/SaaS platform to do it for us. We now live in an age where data sovereignty and privacy are at the forefront of our thinking and maybe, just maybe, we want other options.
Is our obsession with IPv4 tying us unhealthily to platforms and sacrificing our freedoms?

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
