Technology enthusiasts, Head of Engineering @RSAWEB. Opinions my own.

Lots of folks buying IP transit from #AS174 Cogent Communications @CogentCo; however, there’s also this in the results: “Revenue from leasing IPv4 addresses was $14.4m for Q1 2025”. A history lesson: Cogent purchased #PSINet in 2002 for $10m (which included 38/8 and more) 😳

While Deepseek AI looks promising, these security and privacy concerns are definitely a red flag. Important to proceed with caution before widespread adoption. #DeepseekAI #AISecurity #Privacy

[Nagli @galnagli]

Critical vulnerabilities doesn't have to be complex or have a CVE - @deepseek_ai publicly exposed their internal ClickHouse database to the world, without any authentication at all, and leaked sensitive data.

No one is safe from security mistakes, follow along to learn more 🧵

Would this be wireless or remote peering ? 😂

[Dr. Peering @DrPeering]

2025 starts off with a extraterrestrial zinger! @Starlink brings up its first (non SpaceX) downstream BGP customer! Round trip times are significantly faster vs using geostationary satellites. You all know what I want next - yup, a @SpaceX based #IXP (Internet Exchange Point)!

[Rassie Erasmus @RassieRugby]

Maybe for real rugby supporters this might be more interesting than the 🐑 opinion!! This is reality of how close it will be!

Good luck to all the athletes at the @RSAWEB Cape Town Triathlon

@jgrahamc - We love your tech. However, your billing department keeps sharing our reseller invoices with our customers. Are you able to look into this? Unfortunately no response from our customer care representative.

[Koos Myburgh @koosmyburgh]

@packetbouncer @ISCdotORG What is your performance like with the mysql backend?

[Koos Myburgh @koosmyburgh]

@vicnastea It does work but does not scale very well.

[Koos Myburgh @koosmyburgh]

@Travelstart Not the best online experience booking through your site. CC payment failed due to an unknown error. Tried "Instant EFT" which appears to be "not so instant"

[Koos Myburgh @koosmyburgh]

Great guide for those who are considering to create their own blog/guides using github static pages https://t.co/ZDv06cRvdu

[Koos Myburgh @koosmyburgh]

@synsandacks @artofneteng Lucid charts for the win. We migrated 4 engineering departments and collaboration was suddenly easier and version control have virtually disappeared

[Koos Myburgh @koosmyburgh]

Various systems seem to be broken including Github and Stackoverflow

[Koos Myburgh @koosmyburgh]

Google hit by widespread outage @RSAWEB https://t.co/zOU2RolWK9

Seeing as we're Second Waving, let's remember some important lessons from the 1st time around.

1. Leaders will try steal money
2. Healthcare workers are overworked and underpaid
3. Pineapple beer is kak

[Koos Myburgh @koosmyburgh]

Probably the best write up on the starlink internet https://t.co/F0pgnB5Wsn

[Koos Myburgh @koosmyburgh]

So true

[Marc Randolph @marcrandolph]

My career advice? Find the smartest person you can that will take you seriously and do what ever they ask you to. You will learn at every step.

[Koos Myburgh @koosmyburgh]

hey, @Cloudflare @jgrahamc are you experiencing issues at your NL-INX? Our South African customers have a degraded experience when content is served from that location.

[MyBroadband @mybroadband]

If you want fibre or fixed-LTE, here are the best ISPs https://t.co/vvRNS69OwA

[Koos Myburgh @koosmyburgh]

Big part of the internet was broken today caused by an outage on a tier1 operators network. Impact on Africa/South Africa’s networks seems to be minimal. Which shows that we have most of the cdn content within the African Internet exchanges

[CenturyLink @CenturyLink]

Our technicians are working to resolve an IP outage. Ensuring the reliability of our services is our top priority. We will provide regular updates on our progress.

holy crap! what's going one on LD8? hearing that's it's been over 12hrs now? #hugops for those involved.
also, never, ever, rely on one datacenter for your business.
