2011: The first router we got to test #RPKI support.

I'm obsessed with good #documentation and the Routinator user manual on #ReadTheDocs is my pride and joy.

We worked very hard to seamlessly integrate the manual page into it as well, allowing us to automatically link command line options, but we also wanted it to be the canonical source for building the the manpage with rst2man. This saves us from keeping content in sync and messing with troff(1).

Lists, pinning hashtags and the advanced web interface is all very well done. Currently rolling with these columns.
Okay, that's it... #riptwitter

For no particular reason, @partim got me a gift! What an excellent choice, haha!
I was a bit naive about organising a #Rust meetup, afraid that we'd never fill up a room for 50 people. With our event fully booked in 30 minutes and now 59 more on the waiting list, I know better. We have lots more #rustlang topics we'd love to tell you about – both face-to-face and as recordings – so we'd be keen on doing a bigger venue next time with the help of some sponsors. Anyone want to support our next event? https://github.com/orgs/NLnetLabs/repositories?language=rust

Hello there Hacker News visitors... 😅 #CyberResilienceAct
There's so much interest in our work on #OpenSource software vs. the #CyberResilienceAct that I have pre-emptively made a "Policy" section in Slack to keep things organised. 👔 https://blog.nlnetlabs.nl/open-source-software-vs-the-cyber-resilience-act/
Open-source software vs. the proposed Cyber Resilience Act

By Maarten Aertsen NLnet Labs is closely following a legislative proposal by the European Commission affecting almost all hardware and software on the European market. The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) intends to ensure cybersecurity of products with digital elements by laying down requirements and obligations for manufacturers. 🥳update, december 2023:
