Jack Baty ☛ Mad at Hugo. Not mad at Kirby.
One thing that put me off Kirby CMS was that it's "Kirbytext" markup enhancements to Markdown would make the content less portable. Thing is, Hugo suffers the same problem because every theme developer uses their own front matter variables. Is it "cover" or "featuredImage" or "feature" or what? And Hugo's shortcodes are just as much a risk of lock-in as Kirbytext. Hugo's advantage here isn't as great as I thought it was.

Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ OpenRAN and the future of mobile networks
Open radio access networks (OpenRAN) represent an evolution in the architecture of the part of a telecommunications network that connects user devices to the network wirelessly – in essence, the bit between your smartphone and the nearest base station. OpenRAN’s key principle is to standardise and decouple the components of the RAN so they are interchangeable and vendor neutral.
“RANs are traditionally vendor-locked, vertically integrated telecoms architectures composed of base stations, radios and antennae that enable wireless communications, such as 4G, 5G and subsequent generations of communications technologies. By disaggregating RAN architectures – thus making them ‘open’ – more companies can pursue innovation on advanced 5G network architectures and related security,” said a June 2022 statement by the US department of defence.

Kev Quirk ☛ My Thoughts on Kagi Search
There was a lot of chatter about Kagi over on the fediverse recently. Some good, some bad. I'd heard of Kagi before and I know a few people who use it; of those that do use it, they all say how good it is.
I particularly like that you can tailor results in Kagi by doing things like hiding certain URLs, prioritising others, and specifically requesting results from the small web.
So I signed up for a trial (which gives you 100 searches) and I took Kagi for a spin.

Red Hat Official ☛ Performing large-scale network testing on Red Hat OpenShift: A 100 Gbps approach
Recently, a customer faced a network test issue in which the anticipated bandwidth was observed at the node level, but there was a reduction of 25% to 30% at the pod level. The customer could resolve the issue by using HostNetwork for the pods because it bypasses OVN-K hops. However, this approach can have security implications, so that's not the ideal solution.
