Yes, I know about it, but I can’t do anything with that – source data delegated blocks have country assigned by RIRs. Manually doing exceptions is no way to go…

What if you need L2 VPN, for example to migrate local server to datacenter and from network view keep it in your local network?
In my setup I wanted to be able migrate VMs from local Proxmox PVE to PVE running in Hetzner in datacenter. PVE in datacenter was dedicated server.
Mikrotik 7.1 also support l2tpv3, which is not very well documented in Mikrotik wiki yet, but it enables Layer 2 VPN. L2tpv3 is also supported in linux. How to create bridge between them?
I have been successfully using consumer SSD in my ESXi for few years. After migration to Proxmox, I have tried to use ZFS for virtual machines. First few weeks I was very happy about it. Then I noticed very fast increasing SSD wearout levels on my new SSDs. Proxmox support forums and reddit are full of users mentioning proxmox is destroying SSD, but I thought this is just rumor.

Five years ago before Christmas I bought my first SSD – Crucial MX300 750GB. I have put it into my linux server running some web hosting (running this blog for example), my emails. Second MX300 was put into Linux MD Raid1. Disk were running two years in this setup, then I have migrated into virtualized setup, running ESXi, booted from USB drive. SSD were re-used and running as hw Raid 1 using LSI-9211 card.
It is few years since I have written my IP Country generator. As I recently added new file geoip.txt (warning, big file!) for use with haproxy, I will show you how you can easily create ACL in HAproxy to filter specific country.

Years ago I have replaced my wife’s notebook SATA drive with SSD. It was SANDISK Ultra II model SDSSDHII480G:
PlaneFinder or Flightradar24 are providing x86 (i386 or x86_64) binaries, Radarbox only provide arm version for raspberry pie.There is request for x86 feeder package in forum but what they released due GPL is just a joke – can’t be compiled without knowing some keys.
I have found that there is rbfeeder docker image for x86 – how is this possible?
