#introduction

Hello, I'm Florian. I have been on here since 2018.

I work as a system and network engineer for the RIPE NCC. I'm a Domain Name System (DNS) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) expert and I'm responsible for running one of the 13 root name servers. In short, I'm one of the people keeping the Internet running.

In my spare time I hack on OpenBSD and found my niche with privilege separated network daemons.

I like hiking and bicycle touring. We live with four people (two species felis catus, two species homo sapiens) in a house with a garden in the Netherlands.

I identify as socialist but you'll find very little political commentary from me here.

A wise person once said: "Computers were a mistake." I can't agree more.

OH: This stuff smells like it's making me dumber.

Death and taxes...

I saw the quote on my feed a month ago or so but lost the link. I had to make it a hazard sign...

Back home #IETF125

OH: I ate a bagel yesterday. I'm a little bloated...

So I ordered a gin & tonic before take-off and finished it.
Cabin-person: Would you like another one?
Me: Idk, is there enough time before take-off?
Cabin-person: [looks at watch] I'm sure you'll manage another one.
Me: right, keep 'em coming...

The next one definitely had more gin than tonic

Hi from Hong Kong #IETF125

@jwz this might align with your interests...

Today is Pungenday, the 5th day of Discord in the YOLD 3192. Celebrate Mojoday.

Onwards! #IETF125

I'm considering going to Huaqiangbei, buying a bunch of laptops, and installing the most unhinged OSes I can find. Think Haiku as a warmup and TempelOS as the end boss.
The challenge is then to get them to join the #IETF125 WiFi.

So how is #IETF125 going? Glad you asked...

Beware the IDEs of March. Use ed(1) instead.

So... who is good at USB forensics? Asking for a friend. #IETF125
