#BGP

[bengiyo]

i feel a little silly asking this, but what does bgp stand for? (loved your 2023 review, and have lots to catch up on)

Hello, anon!

You are not silly for asking. BGP stands for Business Gay Performance. It started last year when @lurkingshan and I were watching Bump Up Business.

Korean group OnlyOneOf is notorious for using queerness in their work. In their show Bump Up Business, two of their members play actors that are working together and using the performance as a gay couple to get additional clout for their band. A real romance develops between their characters. It was surreal to see a show simultaneously calling a Business Gay Performance (their term!) fake, while making a show about how it's actually real. The audacity!

We loved the term a lot, and @respectthepetty immediately used it to highlight that Yin and War have color coded microphones when they do BGP.

Pragmatically, I like to call the actors performing as gay for fan entertainment BGP to signal that I am not shipping them. I like to signal that I'm just enjoy the fake performance of the actors playing around, and not that I genuinely believe that these guys are in love in front of us. I think there are enough real queer actors getting shunned for being open about it, and don't like to pretend that it's okay to fawn over a performance and pretend that it's real. That kind of behavior is a bit off-putting for me. So, I like to use BGP so that we can have fun with a little separation from shipping.

Thanks for the ask!

"...no."

"it was Thea."

dun dun duuuuunnn.....not really, lol.

but my prediction was correct - the most recent version of the langerak legacy save was pretty borked. i could have fixed it, probably, after maybe a couple of days but my motivation to do so was so low that i just decided to move on to another idea i'd been pushing to the side for...................at least 4 months.

maybe one day i'll fix the langeraks, who knows. but for now, we're back to my fave shit: redemption arcs for people who don't actually need one but are misunderstood!

and yes i changed her traits bc y'all are not gonna ruin my bitch's life, keep her from resting peacefully and then tell me she's the mean one. nope.

Nobody Parts Two Rivers Met (1/3) on ao3

A guy walks into a bar: Sirius has a good life — he fucks around, not really caring if he ruins the lives of the people he’s sleeping with. Remus has been taken advantage of his entire life and keeps finding himself with men who don’t really want him. Then they meet and everything changes…or does it? aka my Exile In Guyville concept fic

Exile in Guyville is here! This first chapter is very short, but the next two will be much longer. Currently an M rating, but will likely become E.

As always, this is dedicated to my BGP chat girlies. I wouldn't get anything done without them.

neoAGAB master post?

so i’ve been scrolling thru the MOGAI and LIOM tags and i saw @kenochoric-moved‘s post abt ASAB (assigned sleepy at birth) which inspired me to make my own AGABs with a few ppl in the MOGAI discord server. smn recently asked abt a master post explaining neoAGABs and making an umbrella term so here i am

i would like to propose either Personally Assigned Birth Gender (PABG) or BirthGenderPunk (BGP)

PAGB or BGP, whichever y’all prefer, will simply mean smn who either rejects their AGAB in favor of one they prefer, doesn’t wish to disclose their AGAB for any reason, or simply doesn’t find the concept of AGAB to be important/relevant enough to care and choose their own

i will make a flag soon but y’all can also make ur own, permission is not needed. i will ask if you could reblog or link back to this post so people can get info abt this and find my page for updates abt it

disclaimer // i am not the one to come up with the concept of neoAGABs in the first place nor do i know who did, so i will not take credit for doing so.

UHM OKAY YOU NEED TO TELL ME MORE ABOUT THIS WOLFSTAR STRANGERS TO LOVERS THING. LIKE. WHAT!!

okay okay okay so this started largely as an excuse to love on chicago BUT: as things stand rn sirius moves to the city for grad school after ending a long-term relationship under tragic circumstances, meets lifelong city boy bike messenger remus and they each think the other is pretentious af at first and remus lightly hazes sirius with a Chicago Handshake at a party , but obv the attraction is there and grows quickly and at one point remus introduces sirius to the rite of passage that is hopping an L train end-to-end (v dangerous, definitely not legal but fun as hell):

And the critiques, the missed calls, the leaky fucking radiator that keeps Sirius up all night, everything happening on the surface is irrelevant. Does not matter, because hurtling underground through pitch black on a dirty metal train car with cloudy windows and sticky floors, Remus Lupin is kissing him.

Today I learned: to drop into the Quagga shell, rather than running 'sudo vtysh -c "[command]"', just do:

sudo vtysh

And then things like tab completion work, in case you (like me) don't know what commands are available.

Harnessing the Power of BGP Routing in WISPs and ISPs: Advantages and Use Cases

Introduction

In the dynamic world of wireless and wired communications, the efficient routing of data is a critical aspect that directly impacts the performance and reliability of networks. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing, a standardized exterior gateway protocol, has emerged as a cornerstone in the arsenal of Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). This blog post explores the advantages and diverse use cases of BGP routing in these environments.

Advantages of BGP Routing:

Path Selection and Load Balancing: BGP allows network administrators to implement sophisticated path selection policies, enabling them to choose the optimal route based on metrics such as bandwidth, delay, and AS (Autonomous System) path. This capability facilitates load balancing across multiple links, enhancing network efficiency and resource utilization.

High Availability: BGP’s ability to detect and react to network changes in real-time contributes to increased network availability. In case of link failures or congested paths, BGP can quickly reroute traffic through alternative paths, minimizing downtime and ensuring a seamless user experience.

Scalability: As networks grow in size and complexity, scalability becomes a crucial factor. BGP is well-suited for large-scale deployments, allowing ISPs and WISPs to manage extensive networks without compromising on performance. The protocol’s hierarchical structure and support for route aggregation contribute to efficient scaling.

Policy-Based Routing: BGP’s flexible policy framework empowers administrators to implement routing policies tailored to their specific needs. This includes traffic engineering, where BGP can be used to influence the flow of data to optimize network performance and resource utilization.

Use Cases of BGP Routing in WISPs and ISPs:

Load Balancing Across Multiple Links: Imagine a scenario where a WISP serves a densely populated area with multiple high-speed links. BGP can be employed to distribute traffic across these links, preventing congestion and ensuring that bandwidth is utilized efficiently. This is particularly valuable in environments where network demand fluctuates throughout the day.

Redundancy and Failover: For ISPs, maintaining network availability is paramount. BGP provides an elegant solution for achieving redundancy and failover. In the event of a link failure, BGP can quickly redirect traffic along an alternate path, minimizing disruptions and enhancing the overall reliability of the network.

Interconnecting Autonomous Systems: WISPs and ISPs often need to interconnect with other networks. BGP is designed for inter-domain routing, allowing seamless communication between different Autonomous Systems. This is especially valuable in the context of ISPs that need to exchange routes with upstream providers or peer with other networks.

Traffic Engineering for Quality of Service (QoS): In scenarios where network administrators need to prioritize certain types of traffic, such as voice or video, BGP can be used for traffic engineering. By influencing the path selection, administrators can ensure that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency, enhancing the overall quality of service.

Conclusion

The adoption of BGP routing in WISPs and ISPs brings forth a myriad of advantages, from efficient load balancing to enhanced network availability. The protocol’s versatility and scalability make it a valuable tool for managing the complexities of modern telecommunications networks. As the demand for high-performance and reliable connectivity continues to rise, BGP stands as a key enabler for ISPs and WISPs seeking to deliver seamless and robust services to their users.

Is mewtul engagement bgp? They did it at the event for Mews mv premier wearing matching suits, it just looks weird to me

The simple answer is no, because they're out and getting married. It's not a business gay performance when they're actually queer. The complex answer is more complicated. However, weddings are expensive, so I respect the hustle.

3, 21 and 32 for the ask game if you want! ✨

Hello, bonjour!! Thank you so much for dropping in. 💕

3. What was the last song you listened to?

I saw them live last night and they were fucking incredible!

21. How was your day today?

It was good, thank you for asking!! I booked the morning off because of the concert last night, so I got to sleep in until 10:30am and then after checking the daily news (my tumblr dashboard), I put on my new band t-shirt and went to Tim Horton's and got myself a coffee and a croissandwich! I had to work this afternoon, but that's over now so I can just chill. Will probably get pizza and watch OFMD tonight!

32. If you could go anywhere right now, where would you go?

I would show up in the living room of either of my wives (@butcherbacterium or @kaleidoscopexsighs), but preferably somehow both. I'd make them watch Velocipastor with me while we ate a cheese board in our pajamas.
