Hey Fedi !
I'm still searching for my next job. I'd also be ready to work full time if something pops up. Anyone needs a network engineer ?

Bruce Simpson, Ph.D.@PorCus Become a networking software developer: https://people.freebsd.org/~bms/devsummit/bms-devsummit-2026.pdf We still need a GSoC volunteer for IGMP snooping...
@bms48 Hey ! Thanks for the suggestion, but I barely can remember anything without cheat sheets as @b0rk 's ;) So that would be quite dangerous I suspect.
And beside that, you still need people like me in datacenters plugging cables and debugging stuff that only make sense to people who had domains before 1997 ;)

@PorCus @b0rk I deal with Layer 1 issues all the time myself like my G.8032 switch test stack, or reseating U.Fl and M.2 connectors plus SMA last week when I tried to turn up 5G NR at my semi-rural location for faster broadband. I had to throw in the towel though and order an upgraded Mudi 7 instead, less hassle, ENOTIME! Keeps my WireGuard VPN up and running though
@PorCus @b0rk You want more Layer 1 geek porn? USB 3 B-B crossover adapters for DbC onboard debugging https://people.freebsd.org/~bms/legacy/usb3-xover-pics/
@PorCus @b0rk Re IXPs/peering: I will need to spin up again on how our BGP implementation behaves/has behaved but it's on the hitlist for the workplan if you look, just not directly for FreeBSD; we originally developed there. I might need to move some of the stuff I'm proposing should be partly commercialized in the beginning ("free the future"). There's an item in there to resurrect TCP-AO for FreeBSD for IXPS/route reflectors but how quickly it happens comes down to certain corporate sponsor.
