How to NOT license sounds
I imagine this generic email was sent to every sound effects company in existence. PSA: If you release your sounds via a third party I strongly advise you to check your licensing terms with them, to verify your work does…

RSS is handy but don't forget to explore the sites
I needed a nice image for the OG Metadata, so I turned to Gemini. I know it reeks of AI, I hate that, but I need this right now.
I asked Gemini if it was familiar with rss.chat, and it wrote a one page description that's better than anything I've written. Pulls it all together.

The burial, and the reactions from it.
Tracking the ingress packets
I’ve been doing a lot of traffic engineering studies now that I have my own ASN; apparently traffic engineering is a massive field with many interesting problems you never get to experience unless you’re doing network operations.
I have several upstreams and IXPs terminated on my router. What are they? Upstreams are providers that offer me transit, aka the broad “access to the rest of the internet.” They basically agree to transit packets from my network to networks they can reach (and they always can reach more) for free, or for a small fee (or for a very large fee if you have lots of traffic).

Micromosaic Bugs (and Dove) Tiara
This week's tiara is made out of micromosaics featuring scarab beetles and a random dove. Lots of links in the rabbit hole this week about Georgian jewelry.
