There's no real open-source alternative to commercial DDI solutions.

So I fixed that and built one.

SpatiumDDI: DNS + DHCP + IPAM all in one control plane. Apache 2.0.

I love watching @mzac23 build this opensource DDI platform.

He just got A/B partition upgrades working so they act more like appliances with easy rollback.

He uses GitHub issues for tracking tasks.

Claude Code is doing all the coding, but I can tell he is directing it in a structured way that I find fascinating.

SpatiumDDI: open-source DDI control plane.

DNS, DHCP, IPAM with one source of truth. BIND9 + Kea managed. Manages Windows DNS/DHCP agentlessly via RFC 2136 + WinRM. Apache 2.0.

@tristanbob Thanks!

@NetworkChuck I’ve been working on a small project called apt-ui to make managing updates on Debian based systems easier via a web interface. Thought you might find it interesting for homelabs. Would love any feedback if you can check it out! https://t.co/tOMUaebUYZ

@pipefocker @Ubiquiti @DeployDepotCA No I did t take a screenshot yesterday but here is one today of the nodes I saw yesterday so the distances are off.

[mzac @mzac23]

The UAP Mesh Pro may be an older @Ubiquiti outdoor access point, but it performs very well! Covers my whole backyard and almost the whole neighborhood! Got it for a great price with fast shipping from @DeployDepotCA !

[mzac @mzac23]

@pipefocker @Ubiquiti @DeployDepotCA Wow super! J’ai capter environs 5 stations du haut mais j’ai pas rester longtemps à cause du vent et la température. Merci pour la confirmation!

@TomLawrenceTech Hi Tom, I created a nice guide for connecting Unifi to pfSense and @Tailscale as I recently made the switch to Unifi. Let me know what you think! Thanks https://t.co/VHZkbguJFs

@icinga I’d really like to get @icinga working in Kubernetes but it has been a challenge so far. Tried using the docker docs and converting to manifests but keep running into roadblocks. Would be nice if it was easier!

[mzac @mzac23]

@hackaday Getting ANYTHING working on Redhat with selinux set to enforcing.

@crosstalksol A couple months back we had a few squirrels loose in our datacenter. They even chewed through some fiber patch cables. Could the AI make a funny story about that?

[mzac @mzac23]

@K0LWC Have you ever worked FT8 on 60m?

[mzac @mzac23]

@geerlingguy @tweetbot Just found this I’ll give it a try when I get out of bed. https://t.co/LpKkyRu7HM

[mzac @mzac23]

@geerlingguy I really liked it too when I saw it hence why I took the picture. Looks like they maybe only sell to the corporate market. Found a data sheet (in French) but sure you can translate it. It also has a PIR sensor! https://t.co/gWgVZvnI1C

@ArubaNetworks And asbestos in many of our old buildings. Makes it difficult to drill holes for cables and AP mounting brackets.

[mzac @mzac23]

@davemakesstuff_ @Thangs3D And maybe to make it more authentic it could have jaw like shapes/curves to it?

[mzac @mzac23]

@davemakesstuff_ @Thangs3D It’s funny I just realized the word play here. Tooth crowns are a real thing, but not sure anyone ever made a crown of teeth! 😂
