@sulrich Having bought something similar as an attempt to head off violence, at least they can be tossed in the dishwasher.

FYI, the link bandwidth feature motivating this work:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-link-bandwidth/
BGP Link Bandwidth Extended Community

This document defines a BGP Extended Community, the Link Bandwidth Extended Community, which carries bandwidth information to enable weighted load-balancing in multipath scenarios. It specifies the format and processing rules for this extended community type.

IDR and BESS, which standardize BGP and BGP related VPN features in IETF, are doing working group last calls on features relating to BGP extended communities and are looking for community input.

The motivation for this update was the link bandwidth feature, extensively used by data center and service provider networks. That feature completed last call recently. The related plumbing for the main extended community feature, and the EBGP DMZ use case for link bandwidth that allows for aggregation, are the pieces going through last call.

For #InternetResilience, I believe having offline access to #Internet content is critically important. If you haven’t been paying attention to what the good folks at Kiwix are doing, I encourage you to take a look!

They began many years ago with making #Wikipedia available offline, and have expanded to make many more resources available- and have developed a great system for displaying offline content… and very crucially for *updating* the offline content.

Do check them out!

@tfiebig Sure enough...

mod_access_dnsbl for Apache

A module to control access to web content based on the client's IP address being in certain DNSBLs

@tfiebig Sounds like route leaking hilarity ready to happen.

DNSBL for this sort of stuff likely will be coming soon. I've not looked into whether web servers are currently leveraging such things.

@juliewebgirl Fully agreed. The first challenge is keeping the monsters outside of the house rather than locking them in with you. The second is not letting the siege mentality turn you into wondering if everyone is a monster.

@juliewebgirl Absolutely true, but also at odds with the self care of keeping toxic people out of your life.

@tfiebig I have occasionally made this argument for dealing with internal institutional technical debt. If our group is regularly dealing with another’s problems, give us their budget.
