#introduction

We’ve been around for over 30 years but we’re new (Nov 22) to Mastodon! 👋

A bit about the Internet Society:
1️⃣ We work to grow and strengthen the Internet while empowering people to take action.
2️⃣ We think the Internet should be open, globally connected, secure, and trustworthy—and we must defend it to keep it this way.
3️⃣ We believe that the Internet is for everyone

The association of European Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), representing most of the European #IXP community,@euroix@twitter.com, weighs in on the #FairShare debate, adding their concerns about the forthcoming Commission’s plans. Almost everyone now is against it.

I enjoy building Internet infrastructure for fun.

I started by building my own AS https://blog.thelifeofkenneth.com/2017/11/creating-autonomous-system-for-fun-and.html

Then that expanded into an #internetExchange #IXP as a joke which got wildly out of hand
https://blog.thelifeofkenneth.com/2018/04/creating-internet-exchange-for-even.html

Then I build an anycast DNS service https://ns-global.zone/

And now @warthog9 and I are working on building not one, but several, #linux software mirrors.
