We've started to deploy Anubis on osmocom.org (redmine and gitea for now) in order to protect our servers against excessive load from annoying AI scrapers. See https://osmocom.org/news/307 for details.

@kwf I guess I'm lazy enough! Thanks for providing https://updateyodell.net/

Computers? We don't do that here. #plan9 #9front

I feel the need to complain about the insane price of 0,50/EUR/MSG for sending MMS! Long live the #3g #gsm

@tnt to my knowledge they don't do crypto offload on the nic anymore, but they tell you to use a xeon with QAT

@tnt well yes, those are two different nic families the x500 it’s more a general purpose comparing to the x700 which is for server with specific overlay virtualisation needs like VXLAN (or dpdk)

Got a new clock in my living room. Short and long term stability ist awesome. But let’s skip talking about the power consumption.

There spawned something very interesting in my living room 👀

@stucchimax @ety Check it out our projects https://osmocom.org/projects/retronetworking/wiki

Just noticed that I hadn't posted about this yet, I gave a talk about Blamba! (the GSM ringtone provider) at #38c3.
It's available on media.ccc.de now:

c3isdn says goodbye for #38c3 - it was an amazing event, and a lot of work. Technically the network worked fine at least on day2/3/4. We've had some problems with PPP services and lots of ideas of what and how to improve next time. Reach out if you want to get involved. Thanks to the tireless helping hands, specifically jolly, crx, gruetzkopf, xent, kolloid, dreieck, the @eventphone team and @c3noc as well as all our users #retronetworking

Bye, I guess #38C3
