Less than 48 hours to get your early bird tickets! #Tech #Technology #Toronto

Why attend TORNOG1?

✅ Technical Knowledge: Deep dives into modern networking technologies (BGP, peering, automation) that we can apply to our infrastructure.

✅ Industry Networking: Direct access to technical leads from major service providers and enterprises to discuss best practices and common challenges.

✅ Regional Collaboration: Building a stronger local network of operators to improve our regional connectivity and problem-solving capabilities.

It is hard to believe that it has almost been a year since our first TORNOG meetup! Thank you to all of the attendees who came out, and our sponsors who believed in us.

There is still time to get your early bird ticket for our full day event in April, and we are still accepting talks and sponsors!

Meme of currently collapsing infrastructure of the internet. An edit of the XKCD Dependency comic.
A big stack of blocks depicting “all modern digital infrastructure”
At the bottom is a big foundation on four pillars labelled “C developers writing dynamic arrays”
On top of that is a thin pillar which everything on top of it balances upon, labelled with an image of a shark biting an undersea internet cable.
Balancing on top of that is a wide block called “Linux foundation”
On top of that are two small pillars supporting everything above it labelled “DNS”
A bit further up are stacked medium sized blocks “aws”, “Cloudflare”, and a small pillar beside it labelled “unpaid opensource developers” holding up everything above it
A bit further up is a device with a crank that tilts the entire stack above it (I forgot the name) labelled “AI”
Beside the stack is Ferris (rust mascot) on a rocket labelled “rust devs doing their thing”
On the other side is Red (the angry bird) flying at the stack, labelled “whatever Microsoft is doing”
The stack splits in two halves, with one containing “oracle” and on top of that “jvm”, with the other half being the rest of this description:
Further up the stack is a thin pillar labelled “crowdstrike”
Even further up is a thinner pillar holding up the rest of the stack single-handedly labelled “left-pad”
The entire rest of the stack is labelled “something happening in the web”, with blocks for V8 and wasm, wedging and levering up the stack, and on top is a

Just recorded an episode of Heavy Networking with Ethan Banks , the founder of Packet Pushers, here at #NANOG96 . It was my third time on the packet pushers network but my first time having a 1:1 with Ethan.

We were discussing the task of defining a network service. It's harder than you think!

Thanks Ethan & the packet pushers team for having me on. Thanks for also allowing me to advocate for #TORNOG1 , happening this April!
