A brief trip to Reading to spend some quality time with James Broome, also resulted in an excellent breakfast burrito from Richfields Deli & Grill. That might become a regular thing

The C code is embedded in EBPF to run in the kernel. They then use wireguard to manage the connections and route between instances with the same network id. It's very, simple, and very clever

Utterly exhausted after hosting the family on Boxing Day. Followed the Fallow Turkey recipe (brine, butcher, bacon + legs + stuffing). Also Meat Merchant Sugat Pit Bacon Rack. Absolutely awesome. Looking forward to a lazy day of recovery.

Excellent "all you can eat" Thanksgiving Dinner at Texas Joes last night. Probably the first time I truly got the "being thankful for" bit, as shortly after last year's dinner my friend was diagnosed with a brain tumour. He's fully recovered now. So much can happen in a short time.

Birthday yesterday. Not sure how I got this old. Found solace with excellent tapas. Lots were eaten, but there were 4 of us, just in case you think I could do all of that solo!
