 Alex Zero | I am currently working on a routing framework called Eidolon RIS that lets you declaratively set up your own meshed BGP/OSPF infrastructure. Check it out! https://github.com/ArctarusLimited/KuiserOS/blob/master/modules/services/networking/eidolon/README.md | 00:42:23 |

 Mic92 | Alex Zero: Could this take path cost into account? | 15:30:08 |
| Mic92 | If all my peers would use NixOS this would be the way to go... | 15:31:51 |

Check it out! https://github.com/ArctarusLimited/KuiserOS/blob/master/modules/services/networking/eidolon/README.md You have got to be kidding me. Why did I build essentially that exact same thing? :D looks pretty sweet | 15:33:26 |
| Alex Zero | Hahahah | 15:36:50 |
| Alex Zero | Don't get me wrong, my implementation still needs quite a bit of refinement. But it works :) | 15:37:08 |
| Alex Zero | I'd like to replace the GRE/WireGuard tunnels with something like Tinc in the future, since WG appears to be causing an obscure kernel bug with Bird that's very annoying | 15:37:42 |

Alex Zero: Could this take path cost into account? Yes, can add that to the list of things to do! | 15:38:12 |

I'd like to replace the GRE/WireGuard tunnels with something like Tinc in the future, since WG appears to be causing an obscure kernel bug with Bird that's very annoying I already have built all my VPN stuff based on tinc. It has nice semantics unfortunally it's performance is quite bad. | 15:39:34 |
| Alex Zero | Ah, that kinda sucks :/ | 15:39:59 |
| Mic92 | There were plans in the tinc community to use wireguard as the lower layer... never happend so | 15:40:46 |
| Mic92 | you maybe want to have a look at https://github.com/slackhq/nebula | 15:41:05 |
| Mic92 | I never checked it's performance so. | 15:41:15 |
| Mic92 | Than there is tailscale https://tailscale.com/ | 15:41:31 |

| Alex Zero | The kernel essentially fails to report that routes exist in the FIB, so BIRD ends up inserting duplicates | 15:44:06 |
| Alex Zero | Drives the CPU usage to 100% and eventually crashes the process | 15:44:22 |
| Alex Zero | I've submitted a kernel bug, but nobody ever replied to it | 15:44:35 |
| Alex Zero | https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/11/720 | 15:45:25 |
| Leon | Hm, very interesting. | 15:45:31 |
| Alex Zero | Only thing that works is downgrading the kernel to 5.2,which is not ideal at all | 15:45:54 |
| Alex Zero | I've had to force it on all the router VMs | 15:46:03 |
| Alex Zero | For lack of a better solution | 15:46:09 |
| Mic92 | Alex Zero: Did you cc'ed the original authors? | 15:56:53 |
| Mic92 | also the merge and post it on netdev | 15:57:26 |
| Mic92 | Also include tcpdump dumps from netlink | 15:58:06 |
| Alex Zero | I'll do that, thanks 👍 | 16:12:22 |
| Mic92 | *merger | 16:14:48 |
 Amanda (she/her) | So, somehow my co-admin is able to assign IPs to his proxmox VMs using his router's networking stack. He said something about bridging the interface or similar -- is this something I could set up myself to do with lxd/nixos containers? I'm not very versed in networking stuff, so any clarification is appreciated | 17:02:58 |
