Transient prompt with Zsh
Powerlevel10k is a prompt for Zsh. It contains some powerful features, is astoundingly fast, and easy to customize. I am quite amazed at the skills of its main author. Be sure to also have a look at Zsh for Humans, a complete Zsh configuration including this theme.
One of the nice features of Powerlevel10k is transient prompts: past prompts are reduced to a more minimal configuration to save space by removing unneeded information.
When it comes to configuring my shell, I still prefer writing and understanding each line going into it. Therefore, I am still building my Zsh configuration from scratch. Here is how I have integrated the above transient feature into my prompt.
The first step is to configure the appearance of the prompt in its
compact form. Let’s assume we have a variable, $_vbe_prompt_compact
set to 1 when we want a compact prompt. We use the
following function to define the prompt Continue reading
Feedback: Kubernetes Networking Deep Dive
Here’s what one of the engineers watching Stuart Charlton’s Kubernetes webinar wrote about it:
“Kubernetes Networking Deep Dive” is a must see webinar. Once done take a break and then watch it again, let it sink in and then sign-up for a free account with Azure or GCP and practice all that was learned during the webinar.
At the end of this exercise … one will begin to understand why the networking domain seems to be lagging behind … This webinar will help one pick up the pace!
5 Tips for Building a Cloud Security Architecture
Building a cloud security architecture is no easy task. You need to address your organization's security policies, relevant compliance standards, and security best practices while contending with the high complexity and dynamic nature of cloud infrastructure.DNS OARC 35
OARC-35 was held at the start of May. Here's some thoughts on a few presentations at that meeting that caught my attention.How to Make Money Selling Sneakers
If there is one thing that has managed to up the game in selling and buying it’s the sneaker bots. Sneaker bots are software that let you buy designer sneakers as soon as they are released in the market and sneakers rare and hard to find. The sneaker selling business is booming, mainly because the young generation would instead buy sneakers off a reliable market.
The question arises, how can you make money selling sneakers? If brands are selling their sneakers at fill prices, how can you, an independent business, make money selling them? The answer to this simple query is sneaker bots. Sneaker bots help provide the customer with a place where they can go online and get rare and collectable sneakers at an affordable and profitable rate to you as a business owner.
How to Make Money Selling Sneakers
To understand how you can make money selling sneakers, it is necessary to see the different sneaker bots that may help you get there. Here are a few of the most famous bots that can work in your favour if you are a new business looking to venture into the word of selling new and rare sneakers. Continue reading
Worth Watching: Rethinking BGP in the Data Center
Ever since draft-lapukhov was first published almost a decade ago, we all knew BGP was the only routing protocol suitable for data center networking… or at least Thought Leaders and vendor marketers seem to be of that persuasion.
Worth Exploring: Working with Linux VRFs
I remember having an interesting discussion about Linux VRFs (as opposed to namespaces) with Dinesh Dutt years ago, but it looks like I never turned it into a blog post.
Now I won’t have to ? – Jon Langemak published an excellent Working with Linux VRFs deep dive.
When Hardware Drives Software Upgrades
What’s your favorite version of Microsoft Windows? Is it Windows 10? Maybe it’s Windows XP? Windows 95? Odds are good that you have one version you appreciated more than most. Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 10 tend to rank high on the list. Windows ME and Windows 8 seem to rank pretty low. Yet, for all their impressive love and all the users clinging to them we don’t really use anything other than Windows 10 any more.
You might be tempted to say that the OS isn’t supported any longer so there’s no reason to run it. Yet we still drive vehicles that are no longer under warranty. We still buy classic cars that are older than we are and put parts in them to keep them running. Why is software different? What drives us to keep needing to upgrade our programs?
You might be shocked to learn that the most popular reason to upgrade software is, in fact, driven by hardware. It’s not the memory requirements or the fancy new user interface that drives people to move to the new platform. More often than not it’s because a new piece of hardware has requirements that only work on Continue reading

Cloud Networking As A Service Case Study With Koch – Packet Pushers LiveStream With Alkira (Video 3)
Koch Business Solutions provides IT services for businesses within Koch Industries. The company implemented a cloud-first modernization plan several years ago. At the time, the organization built transport hubs to get huge datasets and workloads into the cloud, but realized it was still coupled to a data center approach. The Packet Pushers’ Drew Conry-Murray speaks […]

CDN-Cache-Control: Precision Control for your CDN(s)
Today we are thrilled to announce our support of a new set of HTTP response headers that provide surgical control over our CDN’s caching decisions. CDN-Cache-Control allows customers to directly control how our CDN behaves without affecting the behavior of downstream or upstream caches.
You might be thinking that this sounds a lot like the Cache-Control header we all know and love. And it’s very similar! CDN-Cache-Control has exactly the same directives as the Cache-Control header. The problem CDN-Cache-Control sets out to solve is that with Cache-Control, some directives are targeted at specific classes of caches (like s-maxage for shared caches), while other directives are not targeted at controlling any specific classes of intermediary caches (think stale-while-revalidate). As these non-specific directives are returned to downstream caches, they’re often not applied uniformly. This problem is amplified as the number of intermediary caches grows between an origin and the client.
For example, a website may deploy a caching layer on the origin server itself, there might be a cache on the origin’s network, the site might use one or more CDNs to cache content distributed throughout the Internet, and the visitor’s browser might cache content as well. As the response returns Continue reading
Video: We Still Need Networking in Public Clouds
Whenever someone starts mansplaining that you we need no networking when we move the workloads into a public cloud, please walk away – he has just proved how clueless he is.
He might be a tiny bit correct when talking about software-as-a-service (after all, it’s just someone else’s web site), but when it comes to complex infrastructure virtual networks, there’s plenty of networking involved, from packet filters and subnets to NAT, load balancers, firewalls, BGP and IPsec.
For more details, watch the We Still Need Networking in Public Clouds video (part of Introduction to Cloud Computing webinar).
