Building a PDP11/70. These were among the computers that made the first network connections.

Cannot wait to network and compute how it was originally intended!

Soldered GPIO connector on the wrong side of the board 😭😭

Guess this will be a crash course in desoldering. ImageImage

There is a space between 'RIPE should not become the routing policy' and 'the routing infrastructure is value neutral', the community could accommodate for different values, and express them in the architecture.

Let's not forget: the commercial interest is a very explicit value (which has significantly shaped the Internet).

Commercialization was only introduced to the Internet scale beyond the NSF backbone, not to replace all other principles. tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1192 #RIPE78
With the increasing importance of the Internet, society will get more involved with the infrastructure, and will want to see its values reflected into it.

If the RIPE community wants to resist this, this might mean that policy makers will make decisions without them. #RIPE78

VS ambassadeur @petehoekstra stelde zondag in @Buitenhoftv terecht vast dat Trump en @groenlinks dezelfde mening zijn toegedaan over 5G.

Hopelijk noopt dit tot een herziening van de positie van @groenlinks vwbt de voorwaarden van de infrastructuur van de informatie samenleving.
In plaats van protectionisme en geopolitiek zouden de mogelijkheid tot begrijpen en onderzoeken van de technologie en haar impact op burgers en hun mensenrechten als voorwaarde moeten worden gesteld.
Concreet betekent dit als eisen voor de infrastructuur: open hardware, open source software, reproducible builds, proof of work en human rights impact assessments.

The REGEXT working group in @ietf is still pushing forward on standardizing third-party verification providers, seriously harming privacy and other human rights.

There have been complaints about @VERISIGN pushing this standards since 2016 !

In similar tone deaf manner the REGEXT working group now seeks to adopt RDAP reverse search as if the GDPR and the WHOIS debacle did not happen!

Generally debates our problems with the Internet concentrate on application layer issues, such as platforms and algorithms, while the Internet architecture is still perceived as engine of innovation. This is WRONG.
The Internet architecture is where the privatization and commercialization of the Internet has started.

Up to the early 90s commercial traffic was actually forbidden on the Internet.

Also innovation has been made very hard in the architecture, especially on core protocols.
Initially all computers connected to the Internet were equal.

Also this was undermined through Internet architecture (with the introduction of NAT directionality).
