@fosdem I was asked privately for the "how", and figured a public reply makes sense
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-801 is the policy.
Fun fact: The extra time around an event used to be 1-2 weeks, and this was distilled pain as I had to chase #FOSDEM #BGP upstreams to update sessions, filters, etc and usually needed to escalate through to last level support
Before automation and the Cloud, a new #BGP announcement took days to weeks by default
So I got the #RIPE policy changed and extended to a month :)
@fosdem ignore the route object errors for now; the databases for ISPs (Internet Service Providers) and IXPs (Internet Exchange Point) get updated every few hours to once per day.
If you want to see the route object I created for #FOSDEM earlier, see
whois -h whois.ripe.net 151.216.128.0/17AS62392
Not a lot to it, but maybe it's interesting for someone?
@fosdem I just announced our temporary #IPv4 PI space 151.216.128.0/17 for #FOSDEM. If you want, you can follow it starting to become visible over the next hours and days on any #BGP #lookingglass, e.g. https://lg.de-cix.net/ has quite a few globally so you can see it spread.
As of this writing, https://lg.de-cix.net/search?q=151.216.128.0%2F17 has it in Frankfurt and Marseille, and nowhere else. Usually for new BGP announcements from EU, they show up in LATAM last, with a delay of up to three days.
With the amount of public and private notifications of people contracting #COVID / #COVID19, #flu, #tonsillitis, and a plethora of other illnesses transmitted through the respiratory system, I'm quite happy with opportunistically but largely consistently #masking at #38c3. I'm fine, but I only consider our group clear by the 6th. Everyone in this group is #vaccine ated to their teeth of course, that helps.
Anyway, you'll see me #mask at #FOSDEM in public spaces again.
Consider doing the same?
Speaking of #FOSDEM.. it will be our 25th anniversary!
Is there anything you would like me to cover during the opening and closing talks? Anything fun? Anything important? The next week or two is a great time to let me know
The #FOSDEM #monitoring and #observability devroom received 70+ submissions. I was out sick last week so there might be a delay in judging, but we are aiming to have the acceptance emails out by early next week.
