I create things. Sometimes I blog about network automation and development

They say A watched kettle never boils, what is it they say about CI pipelines?

[Patrick Ogenstad @networklore]

I created a simple tool to view the contents of x509 certificates as well as a chain of multiple certificates in one go. For now it only supports what I needed myself initially. If it’s something that could be useful for you it lives here: https://t.co/prwbkBJcS7

The recruiter wants to know if candidates know Perl. I wonder if this is a subtle sign of age discrimination. If you know that language you they just throw away your CV.

@dmfigol Congratulations and good luck!

[Patrick Ogenstad @networklore]

@dbarrosop I meant if the CI pipeline had upgraded to another version of pip :)

[Patrick Ogenstad @networklore]

So helpful of Service Now to include a link to print the API documentation! I wonder how many people use that :)

[David Barroso @dbarrosop]

I want to thank @networktocode for their generous donation to nornir. It's great to see an awesome business like them support opensource :)

@robertcsapo @renobelk I was on a training workshop in Germany many years ago during Christmas. We went to a Christmas market when I incorrectly thought that glühwein was the same thing as glögg. I’ve seldom been so disappointed in my life :)

[Patrick Ogenstad @networklore]

@robertcsapo @renobelk Looks suspicious though, it’s not “Blossa Glögg” :)

RFC1918 not enough IP-space for your datacenter internal network design?
Employees wasting to much time on Facebook during workhours?
Kill two birds with one stone by using Facebook public IP-space for your internal network.

Follow me for more great network design advice!

@dbarrosop @rucarrol This quote from John F Kennedy will help inspire you: "do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept”

@networkservice Just read them out loud on Youtube and tell people to smash that subscribe button ;)

It's sad that you still get out of office replies saying: "I will have limited email access and longer delays with replies are expected." Unless you're on Mars or a long hike everyone still has access. Why isn't it acceptable to write "I'm on vacation, I'll reply when I'm back."

@MitchellMahan13 Sorry, don’t have anything to share aside from the article and code I wrote on my blog.

@NETRAVNEN @ntdvps @shefys My site (https://t.co/L2s6OAYYSG) is currently using Jekyll but the amount of work to create a Hugo theme would be similar. At some point I’ll probably switch to Hugo but I blog so seldom so it’s been a very low priority.

[Patrick Ogenstad @networklore]

@ntdvps @shefys I bought an html theme from https://t.co/Z2FhnkBTdB and converted it to a static site theme. It’s a bit more work but you can get it to support anything you want.

@dmfigol In my dev environment I just store everything in git and rebuild the full dns and dhcp configs when there’s changes. In a dynamic solution I’d look at something that can send a webhoook on updates that triggers a run to rebuild everything.

[Patrick Ogenstad @networklore]

@ioshints It’s generally called digital sharecropping. Perhaps the best example is when Facebook first told everyone to build stuff on their platform and pulled a switch and bait when the changed their business model forcing people to pay Facebook to reach their own audience.
