that time voyager’s deflector dish was ddos’ed by the doctor’s fan mail

Static, RIP, EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, IS-IS

Hell yeah. Makes me want to make financially irresponsible choices.

People hate making decisions, and I have enough autism and trauma to be numb to social pressure that making a decision and being the emotional punching bag if it goes sideways is easier for me than many of my peers. Guess thats qualification enough to be “manager”. Idk wtf im doing.

The Doctor, from VOY, came up with YouTube essay format before it was cool and 100% here for his antics.

Or you could switch to a browser where you actually have a choice?

or salmon in the microwave

I often wonder… how is my spouse gunna deal with the overly complex self hosted enterprise style network infra if something were to happen to me… is she really gunna sort out the bullshit I built? Then i realize im invincible and nothing will ever happen to me.

#Mayllennial Day 6: MS Paint 🎨 rolling in those hills

Back to work for less than a month and I already want a vacation.

It’s not DNS. It can’t be. Goddamnit…

Americans are so desperate for trains, we out here inventing them from first principles.

MAKE MEN PREGNANT

When did Microsoft start endorsing MPREG?

Captains Log: Restoring an authoritative DNS server from a 2 day old backup with a DNSSEC signed zone under the influence of a bottle of pinot noir is a poor choice.

WOW FINALLY - 3 hrs troubleshooting this little IDIOT. I was able to redirect it's public DNS requests to my DNS server. FUCK these cheapo IOT devices.

got it on the right network. new problem… it refuses to use the DNS I assign to it… YOUVE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME RN

finally got this stupid idiot to connect, but only on my user LAN. Not ideal. Maybe this firmware update will help

I segment my LANs like a good boy, and have an IOT LAN and a USER LAN. Users go in 192.168.10.x/24, IOT devices go in 192.168.50.x/24. Wi-Fi SSID drops it into the IOT lan, but it asks for an address thats on the USER LAN. WHY THE FUCK DOESNT IT JUST ASK FOR A NEW ADDRESS?!?!?!?????

I absolutely lothe these IOT gadgets. This Birdfi device wont get an IP from my network. It auths to wifi, establishes L2 adjacency and begins DHCP. Fun part? It insists on an address that doesn’t exist on my lan and bitches because my dhcp server tells it that address ain’t valid bud.

It's the weekend, baby

Friday shanangans, begin. I will start with a bottle of wine, and we'll go from there.

Damn. Localhost sure is fuckin' fast

damn, yall right. nix is kinda nice

Because networks have layers, like an Ogre.

so not only is there an auto-negotiation process from local PHY to its link partner PHY, but there is also another auto-negotiation process internal to the board between PHY & MAC that occurs over traces but it is NOT THE SAME THING as the other kind of auto-negotiation oh my god why

I had to send a fax today, and it cost me $18 at the UPS store. I think I need a copper phone line in my house, now - and a fax machine.

The more I stare at this the more I absolutely understand why my Gen-Z brothers and sisters want a return of color and maximalism This is a millennial beige nightmare hellscape of which is there is no return.

This press release video exudes that 2013 era tech optimisim perfectly puntuated with the classic thissle ball arrangement in the center of the table that I signed up for. What the hell happened?

@finnleydolfin.dolphinhome.net you rock. THIS is the 7985G, the only Cisco phone that's talked about less than the Cius. Cius - iykyk

telephone people, Cisco people, I need help. I distinctly recall there was a Cisco video phone, pre tandberg, that had a phone on a base, a small standard definition color screen and camera extended from the base so you sat normal at sitting height. WHAT WAS IT CALLED!? I cannot find it anywhere.

i really want to get my hands on a free space optical bridge - one of those older ones that used infrared and TDM from the mid 2000s. The concept of using a tight beam of light to send packets around is too much to ignore.

How about that time Cisco used (what definitely doesn’t look like) firewire in their Gigastack modules? The installation notes sound like a challenge.

Networking used to be innovative! anyone else recall when Netgear used HDMI to stack ethernet switches?

does anyone remember this

ran out of shit to install linux on so now you can do it on Win 9x

Being back to work is great but… I wish I wasn’t in a constant state of panic the last 7 months so I could have at least enjoyed the my time not working.

Time to make the packets go brrr

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

Every 3D print in NY can be surveilled — from political speech to company prototypes — if these provisions make it into the state budget. We need to act NOW to stop it. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Saturdays are for labbing Finally taking the time to rearchitect a lot of missteps in my network lab and putting in real isolation between trust zones. Next is RADIUS.

Cant wait to dig into this bad boy

Why does being employed require being force fed Windows against my will? I don’t remember windows being this bad, and its only been 7 months.

My college dissertation is about the depictions and portrayals of disability in media (and some epic woke shenanigans), so it would be helpful to get some insight from ye epic disabled folks. Thanks docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Let's just push origin to main, and see what happens. Regardless of what happens, we're certain to learn something about ourselves.

Where my Catppuccin gang at? Oh my god, when everything looks the same, shit doesnt feel overwhelming all the time. I've restyled like ~everything~ I can. ✅ firefox ✅ most websites (stylus extension) ✅ KDE Plasma ✅ Proxmox VE's gui ✅ Bluesky ✅ ... my dog... wait... github.com/catppuccin/

~220 -targeted- applications 20% rejected within 48 hours 10% still haven’t responded for 7 months 6 screenings 3 second rounds 2 finalists 1 rejection after 7 (?!!?!) interviews in two days 1 accepted offer 1 still waiting to turn into an offer brutal out there folks…
