1473-byteson RPKI now protects 70% of internet routes

A couple years ago our org made a big push to have our routes and our downstream customer routes RPKI valid. It's good to see the high adoption rate. It looks like ASPA is now available for ASN path validation. Probably should look at adopting ASPA at some point here.

Agree with this. I have learned to interact with Claude the same way. Detailed hashing it out at the beginning, then finally execute, even maybe with your scaffolding at the beginning to guide the process. I tried writing this process down in a 'zen of Claude' as a reminder https://github.com/ctomkow/claude/blob/main/README.md I've started being able refactor legacy code into a new architecture with great success. Work I've been putting off due to the grind of the work.

Edit: I will say it's taken me some months of working with Claude to get to this working process. If you let claude operate with free reign, the inevitable mess and struggle it runs into burns and stresses you out. Also, keeping up with some manual coding when you feel like it and punting to Claude when you have had enough manual coding ensures you still feel in control of the codebase.

That's what I did. Got a developer API key, patched the 3rd party app, good to go.

The insight into publisher royalties is interesting for sure. Though I will say regarding ansible, I just can't like it. I rather use a python library like netmiko for configuration of vm's.

1473-byteson Reddit’s API updates: all the news about changes that have infuriated Redditors

Eh, I hate the model of giving free access to grow your userbase (which has contributed back to the platform through content), then leverage that later for profit. Either provide access for free, recognizing that in doing so you gain externalities through the added user engagement, user data to mine etc, or just don't do it. The only caveat would be the problem of LLMs etc mining all of reddit for free via API.
