Last Thursday, the second CHNUG (Swiss Network User Group) meetup was a wrap! 🚀 Somehow, I ended up taking the lead on the low-cost recording setup. 🎙️ 📅 Save the date: CHNUG #3 is happening on May 28th, 2026, at Nokia Zurich. Check out the recordings and slides here: chnug.ch/chnug002/

DCD was a pleasant experience and unfolded a new world of "how to build your own datacenter" from a physical location perspective. Saw some interesting cooling systems. I will never use this knowledge. 🤣

Have you ever tried building a Terraform provider for a dynamic schema? @marcom4rtinez.bsky.social did! Marco created a strategy to generate tailored Terraform providers for dynamic Infrahub schemas, detailing the build and usage process in two blog posts. infrastructureascode.ch/author/mmart...

Ever wanted to provide containerlab as a service to your team? Two students are doing great work with antimony, providing a modern frontend and backend to integrate with containerlab and clabernetes.

The feeling when the lab finally works after you realise you forgot the "vxlan encapsulation ipv6" command.

I couldn't decide whether to give a workshop or talk at #AutoCon3. So, I guess I will do both.

I don't want to know how much energy was used to train a model capable of "painting" me so well.

I am listening to the draft-iab-nemops-workshop-report-00. Works really well.

These are some huge dependencies.

Today, around 100 students had to write the Computer Networking 1 exam. They definitely learned something.

Starting to look like a workplace. There is still a lot of work to do. Now, I need to look closer to the OBS settings.

I still need to do some prompt template engineering. The result is okay, but the agent did not use the provided tool as I intended. xD

The whole OpenAPI Spec is a little to verbose. Updated the discover_apis tool

The SDK is pretty instinctive to use but my code is still just a early PoC. As soon as we get close to 150 I need to improve it a little and there is no deletion so far.

Why write a script if a simple bash command can do the job?

🚀 Loving #Pydantic! 😊 Version 2's BeforeValidator and AliasPath are game-changers, making data structure transformations a breeze. Excited about the efficiency and joy it brings to #Python #NetworkAutomation! 💻✨
