Hi, I’m just another user tinkering with open-source tools, learning as I go, and quietly keeping this little corner of the web running. This site is a collection of experiments, notes, and ideas on Bitcoin, resilient systems, and freedom tech. I’m no guru — just someone who believes in sharing what I learn.

    Master Docker's Complex Networking

    The video emphasizes the importance of understanding Docker networking, highlighting its complexity and potential for increased control and isolation of containers.

    Seven Docker Network Types

    Docker offers seven distinct network types:
    1. Default bridge
    2. User-defined bridge
    3. Host
    4. MacVLAN
    5. IPVLAN (L2 and L3)
    6. Overlay
    7. None

    Each offers different levels of isolation, connectivity, and complexity.

    Default Bridge Network

    This default network is simple to use but lacks isolation. Containers share a virtual network, requiring manual port exposure for external access. It automatically creates virtual ethernet interfaces and handles DHCP.

    User-Defined Bridge Network

    This allows for creating custom networks, providing better isolation than the default bridge. Containers on different user-defined bridge networks cannot communicate unless specifically configured. Offers container-to-container DNS resolution by name.

    Host Network

    Containers on the host network share the host's IP address and ports, eliminating the need for port exposure but sacrificing isolation. Suitable for applications requiring direct host access.

    MacVLAN Network

    Connects containers directly to the physical network, giving each container its own MAC and IP address.

    • Requires enabling promiscuous mode on the host and network interfaces.
    • Can cause conflicts with devices that don't support multiple MACs on a single port.
    • Offers direct access without port exposure but requires manual IP assignments to avoid DHCP conflicts.

    IPVLAN Network (L2)

    Similar to MacVLAN but avoids MAC conflicts by sharing the host's MAC address with containers. Provides a balance between isolation and ease of network integration.

    IPVLAN Network (L3)

    A layer 3 network turning the host into a router.

    • Containers are connected via IP addresses, eliminating broadcast traffic.
    • Requires static route configuration on the physical network router to enable communication with external networks.
    • Offers fine-grained control and isolation through routing configurations.

    Overlay Network

    Designed for multi-host environments like Docker Swarm or Kubernetes. Abstracts network complexity by providing a single logical network across multiple hosts.

    None Network

    Provides no networking capabilities, isolating containers completely from external access.

    David Mackenzie recounts his experiences as a software developer with the GNU Project and BSD Unix during the 1980s and 1990s, offering vivid illustrations of what computing was like during that era and reflecting on the lasting legacy of that work.

    This story demonstrates how a life of open-source contribution can be a profoundly rewarding endeavor—even today—while also offering a realistic view of the challenges involved.

    Early Programming Experiences

    David began programming in middle and high school on Ohio Scientific computers, learning 6502 Assembly Language and even contributing to a primitive disk operating system.

    These early experiments fostered a deep interest in operating systems and set the stage for his future work.

    BSD Unix at St. Olaf College

    At St. Olaf College, David gained extensive experience with BSD Unix running on DEC PDP and VAX systems.

    • He had early (and unauthorized!) exposure to the su command.
    • Later, he legitimately became a student systems programmer, learning C and beginning his contributions to the GNU Project.

    Contributions to the GNU Project

    David went on to contribute significantly to the GNU Project, completing and writing many Unix-like utilities, including:

    • Coreutils and other essential tools
    • Always adhering to GNU coding standards, which emphasize readability and maintainability

    His work often aimed to surpass the limitations of existing Unix commands, setting higher standards for open-source utilities.

    Creation of Autoconf

    One of David's most impactful achievements was the creation of Autoconf, a tool that automates the configuration of software for a wide variety of Unix-like systems.

    • Why it mattered: At the time, open-source developers faced major challenges ensuring their software would build and run across many different Unix variants.
    • Influence: David’s prior experience working with numerous Unix systems directly influenced his decision to create Autoconf, which went on to become a cornerstone of open-source development workflows.

    The Legacy

    David Mackenzie’s journey highlights how dedication to open-source software can have an impact far beyond one’s immediate projects. His work continues to influence modern systems, servers, and supercomputers, proving that open-source contributions remain a rewarding and lasting legacy.

    The official eBPF documentary explores how a group of engineers at Plumgrid in 2014 revolutionized the Linux Kernel by creating the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF).
    This groundbreaking technology enables user-level code execution inside the Linux Kernel, transforming network traffic handling for SDN environments and beyond.

    The film features interviews with key stakeholders from Meta, Intel, Isovalent, Google, Red Hat, and Netflix, highlighting the evolution and impact of eBPF.

    Chapters:
    - 00:38 – Growth of Linux and SDN
    - 02:51 – PLUMgrid
    - 06:27 – Initial Patch Submission
    - 12:14 – eBPF Merged into the Linux Kernel
    - 16:26 – Hyperscalers Adopt eBPF
    - 18:38 – Cilium Bring eBPF to End Users
    - 20:33 – DockerCon 2017 eBPF Takes Off
    - 23:19 – eBPF Expands to Security
    - 24:43 – eBPF on Windows
    - 28:26 – eBPF Everywhere
