How to get a free .arpa domain https://lobste.rs/s/eu78rh #networking
https://hawksley.dev/blog/get-free-arpa-domain

I’m tinkering with a free #BGP peering service (by own VMs) for hobbyist AS owners, including free upstream connectivity at various locations. It’s still in the early stages, but I’d love to hear what features the community would find most useful.

Wondering how and why? With @BoxyBSD and @BoxedTux, I’m already running platforms that provide free VPS instances for educational purposes, learning and testing for years now. I guess, providing real AS and peering services (maybe even sponsoring LIR in cooperation [but this would cost money]) could also be very interesting for several ones, apart from the DN42 network. Happily looking for feedback…

This week at SIGCOMM, Inho Choi will present a paper about a fast TCP migration and load balancing system called Capybara, which means it’s time for… another episode of Distributed Systems Explained by ̶C̶a̶t̶s̶ Capybaras!

L4 load balancers are fast, scalable, and widely used in cloud systems: when a new connection arrives, the load balancer picks a server for it. For our purposes, connections are birds and servers are capybaras.

This bird has been assigned to a server.
