Disclosure: I work at i3D.net, but not with the team mentioned, so take that into account.
In early 2024, SIDN announced plans to migrate parts of their infrastructure to AWS. This kicked off a significant debate in the Netherlands, about digital sovereignty for critical internet infrastructure with Bert Hubert[1] as one of the most vocal critics.
The discussion led to parliamentary questions, and eventually a conditional go-ahead with the stipulation that the zone file database be hosted by a Dutch provider.
This partnership is on the DNS side, which was always kept separate from the AWS migration.
SIDN choosing European-based hosting for their anycast infrastructure is a meaningful signal, especially given how politically charged the AWS discussion was two years ago.
I recently switched from Ubuntu to FreeBSD, and systemd-networkd is what I miss the most. Network settings in /etc/rc.conf totally feel like a bandaid on a bandaid on a bandaid.
I've decided to learn Python by dabbling in some Django to wite a cms. I'm simply amazed at how quickly you can get something usable with so little experience.
Probably a dime a dozen project compared to most things posted here, but it has an eventual use case for me, and it's fun :)
