In space, Networking can hear you scream
Unfortunately, the acronym SAN is already taken for something else we scream about
This week we explore the open source NetOps by Netos offering 👍; monitor Cloud Provider IPv4 netblock stats 📈; stop using really low DNS TTLs 🛑; use WiFiman to heatmap our WiFi installs 🗺️; exit the Cloud to save 90% of the bill 💸; do the work we love to do ❤️ and explore why getting a job in tech sucks right now 😢. Let’s dive in; ⬇️
