Orange Tricks (French ISP)
Bring-your-own-router notes, ONT/ONU experiments, and French ISP archaeology.
Infrastructure, systems, networking, automation, and other perfectly reasonable ways to lose a weekend — with a strong preference for KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid.
Some random thoughts from my digital rabbit hole, where routers have names, logs have opinions, and “temporary fixes” tend to become infrastructure.
This site is a curated entry point to my technical notes. The source lives on Codeberg, because apparently even my static website needed an upstream.

whoamiI'm a Unix-flavored systems tinkerer who still believes simple systems age better than clever ones.
I enjoy understanding how things really work under the hood, removing unnecessary magic, and building setups that can be debugged at 2 a.m. without needing a committee, a dashboard, or a prayer.
... and don't forget <nbux> — Nothing But Unix, mostly by accident.
Bring-your-own-router notes, ONT/ONU experiments, and French ISP archaeology.
VLANs, multi-WAN, systemd-networkd, route tables, and other packet-moving rituals.
Making an appliance-like system behave properly in a segmented network.
DHCP clients, IPv6 prefix delegation, ISP quirks, watchdogs, and RouterOS glue.
Playlist backups, APIs, plain files, and a healthy distrust of cloud-only memories.
More notes will appear when a temporary fix survives long enough to deserve documentation.
