A lot of people, including very large companies are doing this in production. Using a route reflector/route server isn’t new, and it is very common.


Doing it right is not easy, and most people don't do it correctly nor do they know how to make it work all the time.


1) Ground aircraft are always kept out of the ILS critical zone when there is IFR traffic landing, which happens to be all commercial flights and almost all business aircraft. Autoland being used has nothing to do with this, besides, even GA planes can autoland today with RNAV GPS LPV approaches.

2) Autoland is never a requirement — usually, deciding to try an autoland landing or diverting to an alternate airport is the pilot’s game time decision.

3) Not “almost all” commercial aircraft have autoland capability. It requires specific certifications for the pilot and crew as well as the aircraft itself.


>Not “almost all” commercial aircraft have autoland capability. It requires specific certifications for the pilot and crew as well as the aircraft itself.

The 737NG, 737 MAX, 747, 757, 767, 777, 787 and every Airbus model have autoland. It's a requirement to be able to use autoland in order to be certified as a pilot for a particular type. Garmin even has a system for newer GA planes so they can autoland nowadays. Autoland is used rarely because its more work for the pilots to enable and they all think they can do a softer landing, but in very low-vis weather conditions its used pretty often.


What are they using now? I went through the system not that long ago when it was still A* to U.



Although I don’t have any specific recommendations for you since much of the private cloud software stacks out there are generally bad, I do want to say this is entirely justified and you’re not mad. I’m hoping to see more companies and people switching away from the large cloud providers in the near future.


I too prefer avoiding consolidation of services, but the thing is, it is not the main motivation for this goal.

Self hosting is fine in my spare time, but these are company resources, so I better be well prepared to setup and manage any infra required.


As someone who also has similar visibility, I can also vouch for the fact that Choopa has a very lax and unenforced abuse policy.


Isn’t the point of anycast to absorb the brunt of the attack? If your traffic is localized, maybe dropping the announcement for that PoP would be useful.


That’s pretty invalid — I often see large attacks that are almost entirely made up of bots from one country.


I've even seen 100+ Gbps from a single ASN in a single country.


I work for Intel (not speaking in my official capacity) and the AMD scare here is real.


From what I can see, none of these support multiple 4K monitors - how do people dock in situations like this? I’ve been using a USB-C eGPU with my multiple screens and Ethernet attached to that. Is there a cheaper way to do this?


You really can't without lots of compromises - 4K @ 60Hz uses most of the bandwidth that USB-C 3 can really provide.


Is it possible to buy two adapters and plug one monitor into each? Tedious, yes, but cheaper than eGPUs.



Most approaches that large airliners are doing are already RNAV (GPS) approaches. The reason they close the parallel runway is because of the current ATC aircraft separation rules.
