It looks like @Ubiquiti have bundled FRR into UniFi OS 3.1.x to support UniFi Site Magic - which means with *unsupported* CLI edits you can enable BGP to talk to your @VMware #NSX Edge. Testing in progress, I hope to publish a blog article soon. #vexpert #vmware #Unifi #homelab

I got the authentic @gigsandtours experience this morning for #foofighters tickets - sat in a queue for 20 minutes to be told tickets aren't on sale until Friday even using my pre-sale code. Bought from @Ticketmaster instead without much hassle.

Took me a little whole longer as I'm not that familiar with FRR, and I wanted to stay as close to the default #UniFi config as possible, but I got there in the end!

HCX 4.3 has been released and one long awaited new feature is Network Extension High Availability. The recovery time is properly impressive and not what I was expecting. Great work by the HCX team! chrisdooks.com/2021/12/17/te… #vmware #vexpert #hcx #vmconaws

So myself and @ChrisDooks decided to use @VMwareHCX to stretch a network from his homelab, to a @vmwarecloudaws SDCC in London and then from there to an SDCC in US West Oregon. We wanted to test a few things, but this is a perfect time to use this gif though 🤣 #HCX #vExpert
