You can make a fully open source router using free range routing (FRR) on Linux together with a switch chip mounted to a pcie card. There are also a lot of recent development around exactly this, with Vector Packet Processing, DPDK and SR-IOV to allow wire rate processing even at 100g+.

However, that Mikrotik is being mentioned as under US control stands out like a sore thumb. Given that its a Latvian company, working entirely inside the EU, having no US offices. What is much more plasable is that an attack is deploying zero-days in the routers and switches to crash or otherwise take over the equipment. That the US would be able to hide magic satellite receivers, for decades without researchers finding anything, inside of a non-US manufacturer's equipment that can get a clean signal inside of a datacenter to remotely shut them off, is so far fetched I don't even know what to say.

Feeling very much the same. Attempting to use it through Claude Code as a model it just completely lost all context on what it was doing after a few months and kept short circuiting even with the most helpful prompts I could give, outside of just writing out the answer myself. I really do not get the praise for this model.

Being "better than Opus 4.6" is not really something a benchmark will tell you. It's much more a consensus of users liking the flavor of an answer, rather than fueling x% correct on a benchmark.

I hear this comment warnings, and can easily see this myself being true. But, how could one actually make a reasonably safe http server in C from scratch?

That would honestly sound like an amazing book, just walking through all the ways it's horrible chapter by chapter, and how to structure the code instead, slowly. Like an accelerated history to create such a matured http library.

What baffles me is how they have $41k in expenses monthly for so few users. I'd love to see a breakdown of what in their infrastructure is eating up so much money.

What language is this? It looks like some sort of Java/JVM.

I tried another server and Hachyderm still has it available. Idk why it disappeared off Mastodon Social.

Dragonfly isn't open source nor free software. Rather a pointless switch if you ask me.
