Hey, I'm driz. I'm a teammember of LinuxServer.io and I love technology.

I’m currently working on:

• Migrating from DNSMASQ for DHCP/DNS to redundant kea-dhcp nodes
• prepping to move from 10Gbps to 40Gbps in my home network (why not?)
• Current network overview
  • 20Gbps port channels from access switches to the collapsed core switch
  • 10Gbps to my desktop
  • 20Gbps port channels to the servers
  • 2.5Gbps from the core switch to the WAN edge

I’m currently learning:

• Ribbon Communications' suite of applications
• Hoping to work time for learning K8s into my schedule

Ask me about:

• VoIP
• networking
• home automation
• docker
• linux
• more...

How to reach me:

Probably easiest on the Linuxserver.io Discord
