I made another hand-drawn, back-of-the-envelope doodle explaining a recent big systems vulnerability to accompany the latest “Reachability Watch” written by NetFoundry CMSO Mark Jaffe.

In an era over-saturated with sterile, generated pics and diagrams, I thought I’d try to revive the “back of the envelope” drawing tradition with these illustrations that accompany an article in the NetFoundry forum on Reddit. Read it here: www.reddit.com/r/NetFoundry...

I’m bucking the trend of AI-generated images and going in the complete opposite direction. Whenever possible, I’m making my tech diagrams the way we used to: by hand-drawing them on the backs of envelopes. Here’s the first set, which I made for a post on r/NetFoundry: www.reddit.com/r/NetFoundry...

As an antidote to the plague of AI illustrations that are *everywhere* now, I’m hand-drawing comics and diagrams on the backs of envelopes. Here’s my latest one:

Vendor lock-in is a real concern with Cloudflare. While convenient, some seek greater control. Open-source alternatives like Headscale or NetFoundry offer flexibility, though often with increased setup complexity. #OpenSource 4/5

Here’s another “back of the envelope” illustration of one of the points in CTO David Hart’s latest blog post on how NetFoundry limits the “blast radius” of AI agents. Sandboxing the container they run in isn’t enough!

I spent my evening installing in kubernetes the open source version of openziti, just to get my own free limitless, secure and fully functional version of ngrok. Was it worth it? I'm not sure. But I love it.

Woah nelly - a CVSS 9.8! You know that's gonna be AV:N/PR:N! If you're running Rsync, make sure it's updated. Also, get a zero trust overlay from @openziti or @NetFoundry and keep the kimono closed!
