    Demo: https://aether.saphal.me GitHub: https://github.com/saphalpdyl/Aether Aether is a multi-BNG (Broadband Network Gateway) ISP infrastructure lab built almost from scratch that emulates IPoE IPv4 subscriber management end-to-end. It supports IPoE/Ipv4 networks and runs a python-based vBNG with RADIUS AAA, per-subscriber traffic shaping, and traffic simulation emulated on Containerlab.

    In a nutshell: 1. You log in with your GitHub account. 2. You select the GitHub repo where your site/app is at (whether it's Next.js, 11ty, Hugo, Nuxt... as long as you're using flat files for content). 3. You add a single config file to your repo to define the content types and other settings (e.g. media folder). 4. Congrats: you now have a user friendly CMS to manage content + media BUT all changes are still tracked like regular commits (under your account) on GitHub.

    hey yall, I made bearclaw because I just wanted an unopinionated static site generator with no toolchain and fancy stuff going on; it'd be my pleasure to show it to you today and answer any questions you might have. If you do end up trying out bearclaw, you can use nginx or your favorite webserver. Earlier this week I made eclaire - a static site webserver with compression, caching, and automatic HTTPS through letsencrypt. https://github.com/donuts-are-good/eclaire
