Yeah, the Canadian telco was Rogers. Total recovery took multiple days. From the Wikipedia writeup:

> In a letter to the CRTC, Rogers stated that the deletion of a routing filter on its distribution routers caused all possible routes to the internet to pass through the routers, exceeding the capacity of the routers on its core network.

I was lucky enough to take David Beazley's "Rafting Trip," a five-day training course that guides each student through building their own Raft implementation from scratch:

I'd recommend the course to anyone with development experience working with or near distributed systems. David is a fantastic instructor and facilitator, and the blend of student backgrounds led to some great learning and discussion.

(I have no financial or personal interest here; I just loved the course.)


Out of curiosity, did you register as an individual? And if so, do recall how much the course cost you? His courses seem very interesting.


Yes, I registered as an individual (but was reimbursed through my employer's training budget), and did so a few months in advance as the previous session seemed to fill up pretty quickly. It was USD$1500 for the week. I'm keeping an eye on his course listing too - I'd love to take more.


A prior employer shipped a lot of systems based on Lanner and Portwell equipment:

I’d be shocked if companies that won’t even publish their prices come close to the value of the PcEngines stuff.


Consul’s autopilot feature makes life a little easier by automatically reaping failed instances:

Paired with cloud discovery, it makes for a tolerable operational experience when instances are expected to occasionally disappear.


You can do this below ground level, but it loses some other useful properties (catching more sunlight, improved drainage, ergonomics). Depending on where you live, one approach may work better than the other.


Also you get almost 2x the growing space by raising it.


The permaculture community emphasizes the concept of “appropriate technology,” which depends on context but generally means “seek simple/low-impact approaches.”

If you’re building large low-input beds that could last for a decade or more, a tractor might be an appropriate tool given your local constraints vs. a crew of horses/humans and a great deal of time/energy.


packagecloud's in-depth writeups on the Linux networking stack are a great read:

The illustrated guide to receiving data is also solid:

A recent Canadian example:

> The data being broadcast includes the patients name, age, gender marker, diagnosis, their attending doctor and room number. Other broadcasts regarding medical tests such as x-rays are often associated with a patients last name or medical number, exposing their progression through hospital departments.

So don't include information that isn't necessary. rm name/age/gender.

If it's the organization's in-house medical number, that should be okay. It's literally a random identifier number. Or better yet, use a visit number, test number or result number to avoid linking them together.


It’s possible to raise chickens as part of a broader regenerative system where much of the feed is an output from elsewhere in that system. This has been done profitably by folks like Joel Salatin, but it has its own constraints (for example, availability of pasture land).
