nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 25/03/2025Disregard the clickbait-y headline, but as a bit of a space-nerd and Norwegian this is pretty cool! arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...arstechnica.comThis launcher is about to displace the V-2 as Germany’s largest rocketIsar Aerospace’s first Spectrum rocket will launch from Andøya Spaceport in Norway. 100
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 17/02/2025Thanks for making me feel old! I had started school before she was born. I'd say it's a problem with the over-representation by older men in politics in general globally. But people like this just makes the barrier higher for the next qualified one. 000
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 28/01/2025As I see it; The AI-bubble is inflated to an extent that should make any financial institution shiver. I'm curious to see if what we saw on the stock market yesterday was a deflation or a pop. 010
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 26/01/2025A flight on Turkish hairlines is a thing, a massive thing. 000
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 26/01/2025I'm currently renovating my kitchen, I had a pre-inspection with an electrician, to figure out how I'll prep. all the conduits for all the various widgets. Did I spend an extra 2 hours to get a conduit up for a wired dimmer switch, over a wireless one? Yes! Could this be me? Yes! 000
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 26/01/2025Ben cartwright-cox has a pretty good(and entertaining) presentation where he addresses getting an RFC through the IETF: "BGP Send Hold Timer - Addressing stuck routes". I saw him present it at NONOG 6 last year, recording here: benjojo.co.uk/talks/send-h...benjojo.co.uk 000
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 26/01/2025I will add, the threshold for a fuckup-cake is influenced a lot by how much we crave cake. 070
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 26/01/2025We have a tradition at work, if you fuck up on a big enough scale. You have to bring cake the next workday, serve cake and tell everyone what happened. You learn, your peers learn and you spin a bad feeling into a wholesome thing. 2101
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 21/01/2025I don't think they'd be too shaky in the saddle at the sight of an army of Cybertrucks at the border. I think they'd be shakier at the sight of a few divisions of porn-addicted North Korean soldiers... Unless the yanks have banned porn already, then they're probably just there to be buddies. 100
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 13/01/2025For Windows clients my assumption would be that SMB and the whole workgroup machinery now uses mDNS, as NetBIOS is getting deprecated. Whether the instances I have seen have been due to correct design or policies that should have disabled it is unknown to me. 010
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 13/01/2025I've just observed the from the outside, through working for an ISP, where silly amounts of mDNS traffic has wreaked havoc for enterprises, in instances where they have also been dependent on IGMP as part of their service. 010
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 13/01/2025Also: things can quickly get spicy if you don't just flood multicast. Your switches might not be capable of handling that much IGMP traffic. 000
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 13/01/2025I'd say "mainly used for consumer stuff" is a bit off, win10 and up supports and uses it(afaik they are intending to replace NetBIOS with it), not sure for what: but Chromebooks also generate a good share of mDNS traffic. You should expect it, and see it in any enterprise environment. 200
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 07/01/2025*slaps the roof of the big one* you can fit so much packet collision in this bad boy. 010
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 06/01/2025Here in Norway we salt the roads more or less constantly for 4-6 months, rust isn't that huge an issue. Proof: pic I just snapped from the bus. (Notice how the road isn't red with rust either). Rust isn't a problem as long as you take care of your stuff. 020
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 23/12/2024Steam is bang on with the 3 games I played last year as well: 000
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 23/12/2024Decided to go through my box of cables etc. and organize, in the spirit of xmas. I found: 12 HDMI Cables 11 Mini USB Cables 10 Power Cords 9 SD Cards 8 Pendrives 7 Display Port Cables 6 Raspberry PI's 5 Fiber patch-cords 4 USB to serial adapters 3 Laptop Chargers 2 Broken Headphones 1 QSFP28 100
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 11/12/2024You should expect to see traffic in the queues you have configured and not in the others. Just got to trust the engineer that configured it, about whether it's correct and functioning. 010
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 11/12/2024If this is a follow-up of sorts from your previous Junos headache: show interface ge-x/y/z extensive. You should find a queue counters section there, in the very verbose output. 350
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 09/12/2024Be careful adding a vlan on that interface, you might get a poop. 010
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 03/12/2024But the true gold is in the notifications, all the completely mistargeted recruiter spam like: Hi, I'm [person] working for [fancy-named-bureau], we have an incredibly exciting opportunity for someone with your qualifications: replacing capacitors in cash registers in northern Finland. 000
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 30/11/2024This is the answer, so much so that I read the book if I celebrate somewhere without TV and or Internet. 000
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 29/11/2024Looks like Oslo Airport has a slight licensing hiccup, on their self check-in terminal. 110
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 19/11/2024VRRP?... Actually, it'd probably be the less proprietary CARP. 010
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 18/11/2024It's perhaps a bit outside of your usual format, but the domain-name based verification of your handle on bluesky, is a good stepping-stone into a video about how DNS works. It's an important technology, mundane but also incredibly well designed and resilient. I could see you conveying it well 000
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 17/11/2024Imposter syndrome isn't purely negative as I see it; There will always be someone that knows something you don't, someone spotting a mistake you've made, someone finding a more elegant solution than you. Nothing's more hazardous than a overconfident engineer. Omposter syndrome keeps you humble. 120
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 14/11/2024I try to be accepting of all people, but your statement about butter-free toast is difficult to accept. 000
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 14/11/2024I love stuff like this, reminds you there's good people in the world, seeing the value of shits'n'giggles. 030

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 13/11/2024I love this! Perfect demonstration of how easy phishing can be. 010
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 13/11/2024There's a silly amount of times I've had to pop an SD card into my laptop to reset the login for a PI. Even though I try to put every login I create into a PW manager and use SSH keys. 110
nikolai @nikolaiovesen.com · 13/11/2024Ditched X, nuked my account. Decided to check out how things are here. Feels a bit like being on vacation. 040
