In April 2019 the Internet Society’s Online Trust Alliance (OTA) released its 10th Annual Online Trust Audit & Honor Roll. The Audit looks at the security and privacy practices of over 1,000 of the top sites on the Internet from retailers to governments. In this post we will take a deeper dive into the ISP/Hosts sector of the Audit. This sector is comprised of the top ISPs and other hosting organizations in the U.S. It includes everything from organizations that provide network access to organizations that host email services.
In the Audit, privacy statements are scored across 30 variables. ISP/Hosts were a decidedly mixed bag compared to other sectors, which tended to do either relatively well or poorly across the board in their statements. (Though to clear, the vast majority of organizations in the Audit had poor privacy statements, it was the most common reason for failure across privacy and security scoring.)
ISP/Hosts fell somewhat short in the presentation of their statements. OTA advocates several best practices that deal with how the privacy statement is displayed to make it as easy as possible for users to understand.
The simplest practice OTA advocates is a link to the privacy Continue reading

An essential part of open networking is the ability to choose your own hardware. This allows for customization of your network to suit business needs, and it can also dramatically reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). On average, open networking with Cumulus helps customers reduce their capital expenditures (CapEx) by about 45% and operational expenditures (OpEx) in the range of approximately 50% to 75%.
Choosing the right hardware is a big part of these savings. If you compare bare-metal networking equipment with a similar product from a proprietary networking vendor, you’ll quickly find that bare-metal hardware is much less expensive. One reason for this is competition between hardware vendors in the open networking space.
Open networking is a multi-vendor ecosystem. More than 100 switches are certified to work with Cumulus Linux; they’re manufactured by vendors such as Dell, HPE, Mellanox, Supermicro, and others. Unlike with proprietary switches, there’s no vendor lock-in creating a monopoly situation. In the open networking space, vendors compete for sales, and this keeps costs down.
Another factor in lowering costs is the degree of customization available when you have many products to choose from. Choosing your own hardware means buying what you need—and only Continue reading

We are excited to announce that we released a new Docker Desktop version today! Thanks to the user feedback on the new features initially released in the Edge channel, we are now ready to publish them into Stable.
Before getting to each feature into detail, let’s see what’s new in Docker Desktop 2.2:
Back in July we released on Edge the technical preview of Docker Desktop for WSL 2, where we included an experimental integration of Docker running on an existing user Linux distribution. We learnt from our experience and re-architected our solution (covered in Simon’s blog) .
This new architecture for WSL 2 allows users to:
Listening to public cloud evangelists and marketing departments of vendors selling over-the-cloud networking solutions or multi-cloud orchestration systems, you could start to believe that migrating your workload to a public cloud would solve all your problems… and if you’re gullible enough to listen to them, you’ll get the results you deserve.
Unfortunately, nothing can change the fundamental laws of physics, networking, or application architectures:

Hello my friend,
This year, besides Cisco championship started for me with an opportunity to speak at UKNOF event in London. UKNOF stands for United Kingdom’s Network Operators’ Forum, and per their webpage acts as an open forum for operational, technical and engineering information exchange related to networking technologies and practices. And here is my experience.
Some time ago I was presenting at NetLdn event in a nice pub in London, and apparently there were some people from the UKNOF board (hey, Chris Russel).
I have an interesting discussion with NetLdn organizers some time ago, you can watch it on our YouTube channel.
They advised me to submit my talk to UKNOF, and if the committee voted for it, I’d have an opportunity to speak in front of quite a big audience at UKNOF 45 in London. I was positively surprised and took that opportunity to apply for a talk. After a month of waiting I finally got an invitation to talk at the 45th UKNOF meeting, which took place in London.
Despite I have an almost ready slide deck, I need to rework it a bit to comply with the event’s Continue reading

I recently purchased a Meraki MV 72 and wanted to share some of the logic behind why I did this. Having 4 other camera ecosystems in “production” at my home, this decision to add number 5 may defy logic for many. My thoughts around this particular investment were more about my personal learning than about function.
To provide a little background, I have a combination of various consumer and prosumer type cameras that vary in form and functionality. Every single brand (and ecosystem), while covering some functions very well, seem to leave a little to be desired. Hence the reason to buy a Meraki MV.
No–I do not expect the Meraki solution to be a perfect solution. Actually, since it is built around business use cases, it might not be as good at somethings that I find very useful. However, there is an API that I wanted to experiment with and solidify my knowledge of how I might build and extend my own ecosystem.
The deeper function of the Meraki MV API is included with MV Sense which is an add-on. Fortunately, every MV Sense organization with capable cameras comes with 10 free licenses. This requires the new generation of Continue reading
