 On some papers on my desk, unless lost completely.
 
 Take xkcd 350 as documentation instead :-P
+
+How it happened
+---------------
+
+Badly. I had a need for a toy copy/approximation of my infrastructure, no internet connection and a computer with `util-linux`, `iproute2` and local copies of all the RFCs. Turns out you can do too much with that…
+
+Complaints?
+-----------
+
+Probably not accepted. Especially if you are going to moan about how there are “secrets” (e.g. wireguard private keys) stored directly in the git repository. (If you can hack into a local network namespace, there are bigger problems than you also getting to a purely-local wireguard tunnels…)

+TODO

+- [ ] DNS
+- [ ] Dynamic routing
+- [ ] Interesting network layers (SCTP? PPP over a serial port/named FIFO?)
+- [ ] Dynamic address assignment
+- [ ] network booting and diskless machines
+- [ ] Horrible networks that use *all* of the RFC 1918 IPv4 addresses in the inside infra (gateways, DNS servers) and therefore clash with *any/most* private network on the host
