sgaduuw··on SIDN chooses European-based infrastructure for .nl DNS anycast
Disclosure: I work at i3D.net, but not with the team mentioned, so take that into account.

In early 2024, SIDN announced plans to migrate parts of their infrastructure to AWS. This kicked off a significant debate in the Netherlands, about digital sovereignty for critical internet infrastructure with Bert Hubert[1] as one of the most vocal critics.

The discussion led to parliamentary questions, and eventually a conditional go-ahead with the stipulation that the zone file database be hosted by a Dutch provider.

This partnership is on the DNS side, which was always kept separate from the AWS migration.

SIDN choosing European-based hosting for their anycast infrastructure is a meaningful signal, especially given how politically charged the AWS discussion was two years ago.

sgaduuw··on The most satisfying checkbox
Satisfying for whom though? The person who made it? That's fine.

I'm not too fond of these over the top animations, to me they feel like time wasters on a micro scale.

My memory may be hazy, but I thought it was the size of a 'kwartje' (25 cts)
sgaduuw··on Is old music killing new music?
Good sound engineers know when not to mess with good voices. Problem is that there's so few of them these days that they need autotune

Holy cow that Time cover is a great rendition of one of my favorite songs. Thank you for sharing!
sgaduuw··on Systemd 250 Released
I don't think dhcpcd will create and configure VLANs and WireGuard VPNs for me
sgaduuw··on Systemd 250 Released
Since all software has bugs, that doesn't make it a new problem now does it?
sgaduuw··on Systemd 250 Released
It's not like the other distros had a gun pointed at their heads when they chose to adopt systemd.

I still wonder about my original question though. What's so bad about homed?

sgaduuw··on Systemd 250 Released
I recently switched from Ubuntu to FreeBSD, and systemd-networkd is what I miss the most. Network settings in /etc/rc.conf totally feel like a bandaid on a bandaid on a bandaid.
sgaduuw··on Systemd 250 Released
genuine question: what's so bad about homed to jump ship? can't you just disable it and not look back?
sgaduuw··on Systemd 250 Released
no, it's not the init process, it's one of the tools in the systemd suite

could you please elaborate on the new problems?

sgaduuw··on Starlink dishes go into “thermal shutdown” once they hit 122° Fahrenheit
They should ask Ubiquiti how to handle this. Their Unifi range of products don't start doing anything unless they're at least at 65°C

I don't mind him being paid. I would like to see him and his family taxed though.
sgaduuw··on Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?
I've decided to learn Python by dabbling in some Django to wite a cms. I'm simply amazed at how quickly you can get something usable with so little experience.

Probably a dime a dozen project compared to most things posted here, but it has an eventual use case for me, and it's fun :)

sgaduuw··on Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?
Congrats on the alpha! Will the final product also come in paperback?

I have your crash course book on preorder currently :)

sgaduuw··on Do we really need eight hours of uninterrupted sleep a night?
Having become a dad for the first time 14 months ago had quite the impact on the amount of uninterrupted sleep I have been getting since. I consider 4 hours in one stretch a good night. Averages are closer to 3 hours. My son simply is not a good sleeper.

Even though my son brings a lot of fun to mine and my partner's life, I have not felt well-rested since his birth, and feel impacted both mentally and fysically due to that.

sgaduuw··on I usually run 'w' first when troubleshooting unknown machines
My standard set of commands in context of troubleshooting, in no particular order is * w * last * dmesg
