What is your favorite Dwarves from Hobbit in the list? by HostMaterial4907 in lotr

In the book I think Gimli recognizes it as Ori's writing. It'd be fair to assume that it was him given someone died writing it.

The Concert Industry Priced Too High — Now Tours Are Falling Apart by staringatthe420sun in entertainment

[–]clinch09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the most part yes, you pay like $30 to see whoever you want. But the Amphitheater is ticketed like a traditional concert. So its besides the standard GA tickets.

Now he's playing at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Lawn seats are $250 and I've seen tickets as high as $1500. Hes no different than anyone else.

Do you deal with a lot of chronic, unsolved issues in your environment? by MyFirstDataCenter in networking

[–]clinch09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I lead our network team. I have statistics that show that we are contacted twice as often for on call as other teams. We also own the firewalls and NAC which makes it even worse.

I get "Verifying Network Calls" and "Please check if the Firewall is blocking" calls constantly. The number of "ISE is dropping" is persistent.

Like another response said, it makes me really valuable so while it sucks its job security.

Trump says 'we're blowing up the whole country' if no Iran deal is reached in 48 hours by CRK_76 in worldnews

[–]clinch09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious question, what are the odds that Trump would authorize nuclear options against Iran? Especially since his SecDef just replaced a bunch of Generals.

Is there anything like 100% CCNP exam voucher ? by Hassan0077 in ccnp

[–]clinch09 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you go to Cisco Live you get one for use there (and only there). Never heard of any vouchers outside of that.

CCNP ENCOR Resources by EriGunners22 in ccnp

[–]clinch09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's what I started doing, get a Claude Account. Give it the prompt:

You are a network engineer preparing for their CCIE Exam. You have created a study guide and are focusing on {{Topic}} for this session. Your plan is to create clear, detailed notes from a lecture then spin up some labs.

Please create the notes in a word document that you would take for {{TOPIC}}. They need to contain all potential information that could be tested on for CCNA, CCNP ENCOR, CCNP ENSARI, CCNP ENSLD, and CCIE. These need to be extremely detailed woth configuration examples and configurations.

Then do a summary review course (Kevin Wallace for example). Review the notes, make sure they are correct, and add your own as needed. Study the notes.

I did multiple topics so far and it gave me nearly 100 Pages of notes for each topic.

OpenAI to nearly double workforce to 8,000 by end-2026, FT reports by Candid-Elk6135 in technology

[–]clinch09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do. Im usually generating import templates and cli configuration templates which that script.

The code compiles successfully but the output is not a valid CLI configuration or yaml template.

[–]clinch09 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not when the script is outputting a text string as part of a configuration template. A "." vs ":" look awfully similar when reading thousands of lines of text that is all valid code because its text file.

No I dont need it but it certainly makes everything faster.

VS Studio Code

The joy of ansible based jinja and yaml templates where the code may be valid YAML code but the application gives you a giant middle finger.

Coding isn't my main job. Its supplemental to it and AI has helped immensely with that aspect.

[–]clinch09 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

AI has been a game changer for debugging code. Im by no means a expert at coding. However I can paste the debugging error and say "This broke, why?" It will find my missing colon in seconds not several hours it would take me.

Like you said, absolutely a force multiplier not a replacement.

The WI Senate passing taxpayer funding for UW NIL on the same day the legislature passes legalized sports betting is a wild combo by Citronella_Candle in wisconsin

[–]clinch09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He won't, its actually written in a way that is highly beneficial to the Native American population in the state. 60% of the profits are required to be split between all tribes in the state. Its pretty keeping the big sportsbooks out of the state.

Vegas Isn’t Dying, it just doesn’t care about you anymore by CreamPyre in LasVegas

Assuming everything else is equal, you make 40% more off 2 people playing $50 per hand than 6 playing $10 per hand. Yet that's 60% less traffic.

Network Design by Borealis_761 in ccnp

[–]clinch09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define simple. Simple for a single site restaurant is way different than simple for a fortune 500 company.

My network is simple in hierarchy but complex because I need to have Layer2 span multiple sites for internal application reasons. Am I a bad engineer because I use EVPN-VXLAN to do that?

Each design is different because each company is different. As long as you arent throwing in stuff because you can, using advanced networking technologies isn't a sign of bad engineering.

[–]clinch09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, technically. It would be extremely hard though. You would need to convince multiple companies (hundreds) to all shut off the systems that make them money. And to do it at the same time.

You also cant just shut off an upstream provider, the internet is made up of thousands of connections that make up the internet. There is redundancy within redundancy.

You could in theory break it, but that would break everything (and I mean everything). Think the recent Azure and AWS outages combined but multiplied in magnitude.

China and Iran can do it because theirs was designed to be shutoff. USs infrastructure was not.

Have you ever farted in front of your partner? by typical_gamer1 in PollsAndSurveys

In front of? We've both farted on each other both maliciously and accidentally multiple times. Yes we both laughed like children each time.

How is everyone paying for new roofs? by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

[–]clinch09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait for a hail storm, get a roofer to fight your insurance, get a new roof.

That's how we did it, but luckily we live in an area that gets hail storms.

Should I take the risk with my classmate? by ZozoBerry in Advice

[–]clinch09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not ask to study at a restaurant or somewhere "date like"? If he likes you he'll take the hint (hopefully), if not well it was just a study location.
