thanks! yes all OSS is the goal so that I can ideally hack/re-build any component in the path.

Ask HN: Isolated virtualized networking learning env?

In order to do some detailed hands-on learning of networking, I'm considering putting together the following type of environment. I'm seeking feedback about whether such things exist, whether this is a good idea, or perhaps if others know betters ways about this. I'd also appreciate pointers about how to do it - like maybe websites that explain which software runs at every step, what the...

This seems like a serious scholarly work and a contribution no matter how you cut it. Thanks to the team that puts this out.
the main thing is to be clear what the main goal of the relationship is. different kinds of founders often want different kinds of things, though they are often unwilling to say it directly or are unable to articulate it:

zmk sounds really useful - I've wanted a custom bluetooth chorder consisting of two hand-held, palm-fitting cylinders with one button per finger, that could double as a mouse using built-in accelerometers and gyroscopes.
