  • crAIyon, photo style - various prompts:

  • Make sure your current TTL isn't 24hrs at least 24hrs ahead of time... I've seen so many disorganized migrations have to get delayed due to the lack of forethought.

    Oooof. Experimental, unregulated, unclassified vessel to take me to the Titanic? Sign me up!

  • If I had a niche in networking that I specialize in, it would be 'border security.' It makes me laugh that everyone in security markets zero trust and CASB and says networks are 'borderless' - it's just not true. I am constantly dealing with borders between 'fabrics' and locations. Maybe I'm just a dullard, but I see the niche I am working in only become more important as we move to the cloud and distributed networking and security paradigms.

    Let's Talk Space

    I've been watching For All Mankind and it got me thinking about networking in space... TTLs, 64k packets, transmission mediums, etc. As a 'network generalist,' I find more and more niches to deep dive into... If you specialize in a certain networking niche, what is it? Would you consider networking in space?

    Some informative reading below:

  • Depends on use case. 10Gbps between switches (core, distribution, and access) is fairly commonplace and cheap. Per access to the host... only new access switches have multi-Gig ports (1,2.5,5,10Gbps). Those are expensive and are reserved for wireless APs, IME, as they service more than just a host.

    PowerDelete Suite HOWTO

    Before the APIs are shut down, if you want to wipe your reddit account, I found JavaScript-based account wiper to work quite well and is aligned with security best practices called 'PowerDelete Suite.'

    Once logged into your reddit account, drag the red button to your bookmark bar and click it. That initiates the script that will work on your reddit account.

    You have options to overwrite your comments before deleting them, just deleting them, downloading your data, etc. Very thorough.

    Boot Script Code

    javascript:

    (

    function()

    {

    window.bookmarkver = '1.4';

    var isReddit = document.location.hostname.split('.').slice(-2).join('.') === 'reddit.com';

    var isOverview = !! document.location.href.match(/\/overview\b/i);

    if (isReddit && isOverview)

    {

    var cachBustUrl = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite/master/powerdeletesuite.js?' + (new Date().getDate());

  • Ya know, it's sorta funny that this kind of connectivity is what started 'workgroup' networks... ThickNet, ThinNet, etc. Ring topology is a good idea until you mix people and their computers in!

  • Funneling the herd into the slaughterhouse.

  • Ha! At home I run a Ubiquiti stack with my lab hung off it (switches, ASA, FortiGate).

    Favorite Saga?

    I read 'The Iliad,' 'The Oddysey,' and 'Beowulf' when I was in high school. Followed by parts of 'Inferno' and 'Cantebury Tales.' In college when studying Japanese, I read 'The Tale of Genji.'

    The long form of 'sagas,' whether in poetic or prose form, pull me in. What are some long-form myths and tales you enjoy?

    10Gbps USB

    Looked down at my ThinkPad dock to plug in a USB device and saw a 10 next to it. USB.org has specs on a 10Gbps serial bus.

    Time to trash the network. I'm getting a 10Gbps 24-port USB hub. :D

    The Evolutionary Tree of Religion (Faith, Myths, & Mysticism)

    Conceptualizing time and the spiritual realm has always been made easier for me with visuals. 'The Evolutionary Tree of Religion (Faith, Myths, & Mysticism) v2' by Simon E. Davies is probably my favorite way to explore how humans perceive the supernatural.

    Enterprise network and security is where I spend most of my time and thought there may be others out there who want to commiserate with me.
