  After this unfortunate leak from earlier, Peter van Dijk & Pieter Lexis (PowerDNS) do the incredibly fun but also Merciless NLNOG Quiz! We are at the tail end of the #nlnog Day 2026 and we're going out giggling.

  Happy birthday to ... IPng Networks GmbH! I founded this company on August 2nd 2021 and it turned 5 years old this weekend. Rather than dazzle you with pictures of clouds, grandiose projections of our “global IP backbone”, and other claims that small businesses make to appear larger than they are, we’re happy to show what we know, what we own, and how we can help you accomplish your goals if you want to work with us. I'm loving every minute of it - #colo Zurich/Luzern/Geneva, and #iptrans...

  It doesn't help, but it's cathartic.

  The bots and botting. Lots of scanners and poking and prodding, mostly trying to deface wordpress and log4j that we do not run. Such a sad world, where the webserver gets 1M/day of useless requests. Think of the energy and logspace that could be saved! #nginx #counterabuse

  New app! It's called GoUp (pronounce: goop) Not sure if I'll release it, but it's a combination of (single binary, docker-k8s native) blackbox prober and notification/incident management written in Go with a SPA-webapp and an OpenAPI REST surface.

  I wrote a little something about WebPKI and client side certificates at IPng: https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2026/06/27/case-study-ipngs-client-certificates/ In this article I describe an AuthZ sidecar to nginx that handles ~150K req/s on one machine. They protect (hopefully) my internal websites from Bad People and Big Tech scrapers.

  Make more space for this infinitely growing network! Will hold NICs, APUs, Transceivers and apparently also some quadcopters. #springcleaning

  I am making progress towards v1.0.0 release of vpp-evpn; now including auto-failover based on a health check consensus, and real time traffic- and health reporting into the frontend. I'm going to let this soak for a while, as you can see, it's currently carrying a gig of traffic on one victim^W canary eVPN.

  I’m building an eVPN VxLAN ISP! Can you tell?

  Yeasss, boot my pretties, and let me upgrade and add you to a working eVPN mesh! The DCS-7050SX-128 will be for my office, their fans are 2U and much (!) less noisy :) the others go to datacenters for a new IPng Site Local design I’m working on.

  I found some non-hyperscaler disks! 26x18TB will become our next RustFS (minio replacement) S3 tanks (2x12x18TB per node). Wish me luck!

  @RagnaJa @NOS @welterph doet me denken aan stroomverbruik minderen, en vooral het LED licht op een timer zetten, meneer en mevrouw de burger, zodat ondertussen Tata Steel - met subsidie - enkele TWh aan energie verslindt. Goed verhaal ook.

  Claude created grafana dashboards for my VPP Maglev project. It wasn't precisely ... efficient at it, but together we stumbled through it and it was still a fair bit faster than rolling them by hand.

  Here's what I'm doing this week - it's a bit of a before-and-midway picture. There are two more midways before I can show the after. I will update this thread as we go along. This picture was the situation before we started: Nikhef, Qupra and EUNetworks are in use, with a WDM circuit that happens to span through Gyrocenter, Equinix AM7 and Iron Mountain in Amsterdam. #selfhosting for fun

  We are now with Edrich de Lange - who points out that folks can't really seem to pronounce his name (have you met the Swiss, Edd?) - He did a root cause analysis of the 'co.za' zone last year. We are learning from experts here in Pretoria, South Africa, at #zanog iWeek '26.

  Continuing our live-blogging from ZANOG iWeek'26, it has stopped raining and the thunder is also done. This means we can now listen intently to this panel which will explore the challenges ISPs face in providing resilient, inclusive internet services in South Africa. We are listening to Doreen Mokoena moderate a panel with Lorna Mlonzi, Rudy van Staden and Riaan Maree here in Pretoria, South Africa. #zanog
