another fun day at @edera.dev leads me to build this sampling tracer thing that single-steps a guest and shows me what it is doing based on latencies...

Your irregular reminder that Alpine Linux DOES NOT have any Telegram channels and any community use of the Alpine marks in a way which indicates an official relationship with or endorsement by the project is forbidden by our CoC. Unfortunately, it is hard to get Telegram to do anything about this.

wow my first interaction with a russian bot ever (of course it is on the side of cybercriminals) also, it is pretty ironic to hear this talking point, given that roblox and many other services are presently banned in russia (because they want users to use a state-owned app called max)

i am even less sold on this #soundtransit numbering scheme now that they are rolling out the new signage. it is honestly confusing.

companies talk about how confidential compute is essential for their security. meanwhile, more often than not, the same companies are piping all data relating to their service through a transparent CDN like cloudflare. SSL added and removed here! 🙃

the slide describing NSA prism and how they tapped into transport links in order to intercept plaintext traffic. the infamous quote "SSL added and removed here" represents GFE in this slide, but is applicable to *any* transparent CDN service.

well that is one way to do a bios settings sync, i guess...

if we run ifquery(8) to view the compiled configuration for eth2, we can confirm that no-defaults inhibits the inheritance of default settings.

ifquery(8) showing the compiled interface data for eth2, the no-defaults interface in the previous post's example. as expected, no defaults are inherited.

Ariadne Conill 🐰 @ariadne.space · 07/09/2025

that is all well and good, but what if we want to opt-out an interface from using interface defaults? well, we can use the no-defaults keyword when defining it. to demonstrate, we add a new interface to the configuration example above:

an example config showing multiple tiers of inherited defaults as well as an interface using no-defaults to opt out of using defaults

120

Ariadne Conill 🐰 @ariadne.space · 07/09/2025

here is how ifquery(8) represents the compiled configuration database for the example with defaults separated by concerns:

a screenshot of a compiled configuration database that was compiled from the previous config example. the templates (including the defaults template) are visible. the defined interfaces inherit from the configuration templates via interface defaults.

110

Ariadne Conill 🐰 @ariadne.space · 07/09/2025

the cool thing is that you can actually mix the two. for example, say you want to organize a set of default templates around concerns. that's totally doable:

the same config as before, but using templates to separate concerns and inheritance to bubble them up into defaults

110

Ariadne Conill 🐰 @ariadne.space · 07/09/2025

interface defaults flip the notion of inheritance: instead of requiring users to specify `inherit ...` on each interface, there is a global template that all interfaces inherit from upon initialization. so our config example becomes more like this:

a screenshot of an ifupdown-ng config which uses interface defaults to attach metric and dns configuration to two interfaces

110

Ariadne Conill 🐰 @ariadne.space · 07/09/2025

this works well enough! we can use ifquery(8) to show how that configuration is compiled into (somewhat noisy) intermediate state inside the ifupdown-ng engine:

the same configuration as the above post, but after being compiled into a configuration database for ifupdown-ng, it shows that the default template is inherited by hand and its configuration data injected.

Ariadne Conill 🐰 @ariadne.space · 07/09/2025

as a very simplified example... say you have a machine which is multihomed, and you use a tool like alpine's pingu(8) to switch between interfaces depending on which one is up. today, your interfaces file may look something like this, using ifupdown-ng's inheritance system to inject config data:
