• How can I find out if Uber is available in my area?

  Use the website on uber.com for estimating fares between A and B. Source: 11 months ago

• Creating spreadsheet of customer ride price vs expense paid to others (inc driver)

  Open browser on uber.com summary of trip earnings. Source: 11 months ago

• Uber ignoring me

  Have you tried signing in to your Uber account at uber.com? Maybe you can receive a OTP by email instead of your phone number? Source: about 1 year ago

• Missing/Late/Wrong Prop 22 Earnings and other Uber F*ckery

  I have never been able to see the breakdown in the app (though others say they have found it). I usually go online to the uber.com website and login. You can see earnings statements there. Go to the Activity tab. Source: about 1 year ago

• PSA: GRT U-Pass Referendum from Jan. 24-26

  A relatively average Uber trip maybe ≈$10, one way. In fact, uber.com estimates the trip from Pub on King to Marshall street (for example) to be $9.00, one way. Source: over 1 year ago

• Automatic BGP traffic engineering

  At one of my previous employers we wrote some custom software to interface with Quagga. Seems like Quagga has fallen out of favor for things like BIRD. We use our software to monitor for various things and dynamically adjust the path prepends to "shape" the traffic and cause the multihomed traffic to push to different datacenters around the globe.

• Reasons a Raspberry Pi Belongs in Your Network Lab

  * [1] https://bird.network.cz/ I'd actually love "enterprise raspberry", some small machine that we could shove 3-6 of them in 1RU, but once you add enterprise tax and all of the doodas to make it manageable (OOB management), it gets expensive enough to rival "just an old server". - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• I can't decide on my router/firewall platform. Which one do you think is the most stable and future proof?

  Currently Wireguard handles all of my VPN connections, but I used OpenVPN and IPsec in the past. I run multiple paths through my VPN network and use BGP to handle the preference and failover between them. I am using BIRD instead of the included OpenBGPD, because I also have some Ubuntu machines that also run it and wanted consistent configs between them but OpenBGPD should also work well.

• Identity Management for WireGuard

  You can run dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF or iBGP over Wireguard. It's not built in, but that's a feature, not a bug—do one thing and do it well. I have a full mesh of Wireguard tunnels configured between home/office/datacenters/laptop, and run bird[0] on the VPN endpoints to direct traffic between them.

• How deeply are you able to understand your work?

  I've spent a lot of hours these past few weeks in the docs and codebases for Cilium, Calico, BIRD, MetalLB, PureLB, Longhorn, CephFS, and Rook. Do I understand 100% top-to-bottom how those systems work? No. Do I understand "enough" of how those systems work to produce a good solution to the core business problem we're trying to address? Yes.
