  • Netbox is a documentation tool. You can plug in Napalm to do some stuff but it mostly exists to catalog the intended state of the network.

    It’s a wonderfully powerful tool, and Stretch has done a great job with it…but it’s not an analysis tool, it’s documentation.

    Stretch is a pretty cool guy too. He strikes me as the kind of person that really wants to help colleagues “see the light” of the role Python and FOSS can play in network automation and maintenance. I respect that, a lot…finding enjoyment in the way you do things, and wanting to share that with other people.







  • Very biased print media tends to use the least-flattering shots in articles about politicians they don’t agree with.

    This is very intentional, and definitely a “both sides” thing. Though conservative media sometimes goes a bit further and alters the photos extensively to make them look even worse and use old/out-of-context photos. I particularly remember one where Biden was shopped to look red with skin conditions, and the lighting altered to give more of a gloomy atmosphere, making him look a bit demonic. That was on Fox News (.com article). I remember finding the original photo and posting it side-by-side on Reddit years ago.

    I’m not saying this because I like or am trying to defend Trump. He’s a piece of shit and needs to be held accountable. Just keeping people aware of the subtle ways they (all of them) try to influence our opinions.
