The Psychotic Network Ferret
Level 45, Neutral Evil, Technomage. I love UNIX systems and build carrier grade networks for fun and profit. I’m also a musician, historian, and a pretty decent cook. Lover of fuzzy animals of all sorts, but especially the kleptomaniacal, tube shaped ones.
I am completely and utterly fucking insane, a coworker once described me as, “mad-scientist level bat-shit insane.”
I curse. I am a veritable fountain of fucking profanity. You have been warned. I do not fucking care if you think it makes me look bad. Plenty of things make me look like a fuck-stick shit-ass bastard. My ability to use fuck as every part of speech possible is the least of my gorram concerns. Suffice to say this account is very much NSFW. Fuck.
This account occasionally generates automated posts brought to you by perl, cron, and the emotion of rage.

@[email protected] I cannot agree with this enough. You absolutely have to do this yourself. No external entity, no matter how honorable they may be, and.most aren’t, can possibly grasp your environment more than your own staff that built and run it.
This notion that you can outsource everything even remotely hard is quite frankly not true, and while it may save you some pennies now, you will spend real capital cleaning up the mess when that bad day comes.
Tangentially related trend I am seeing: New ISPs that don’t run their own core networks. They outsource it to companies that claim to run core networks for ISPs. If you can’t run a network, you seriously have no business pretending to be an ISP.
This outsourcing of absolutely everything is going to fuck you sooner or later.
