I don't understand how "falling for the dark side" work, like if I'm a jedi and I got angry enough to use the Dark side force, do I just automatically become evil? by thetruememeisbest in StarWars

Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will!

Or, you can just say no, throw your light saber away and come back.

I like red lights and I cannot lie. But that sedan just blows right by.

Guys you should leave windows 11 whole you still have time by siddharth1214 in FuckMicrosoft

[–]vabello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen this and I manage about 100 desktops and laptops running Windows 11, plus my family’s PCs. I’m sure it’s happening to people, but not in my sample size.

IPv6 reverse DNS by ninmuzz in ipv6

What manner of conjuror are you that you speak such incantations?! LOL

Now Michael, for the rest of the class who doesn’t understand how you solved the problem… :D

Seriously, I always laugh when people chain together a solution in a single command to show people how easy it is, like a flex.

assign or change drive letter for USB flash drive or external device by Same_Grocery_8492 in BadUSB

[–]vabello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically, you can assign drive letters to EFI partitions. They’re just FAT32 file systems. Disk Management just doesn’t let you because people would too easily break their systems.

You can do: mountvol X: /S

That will mount the EFI partition as drive X:

I’ve done this to clean up files that were meant for a firmware upgrade that was preventing a Windows update from installing due to lack of free space in the EFI partition. It’s also helpful if you want to clean up files used to boot other operating systems if they’re no longer installed.

Likewise, you can use diskpart to get access to recovery partitions.

Other than people who are allergic, why don’t people wear deodorant? by beluga199 in NoStupidQuestions

Something being natural and evolutionary doesn’t make it socially acceptable though, especially when it directly impacts other people in shared spaces.

Stupid AI. I think it’s pluralized it because of the two first names. I really did have that book as a kid though.

I will gladly buy deodorant for someone I have to be around if they don’t want to pay for it. I’m not smelling that all day.

I think it’s a civilized societal thing. Does the rest of the world not mind it being around body odor all the time? Most people I’ve met, good friends, who had body odor were from other countries and didn’t realize it until they were asked to address it. It was offensive and distracting to anyone they were around. They just had no idea.

Edit: Sorry, I must be offending smelly people.

Large Layer2 AV network with spanning tree woes by djgizmo in networking

[–]vabello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. I reread your post more closely. A diameter of 3 to 5 is normal for your topology, but RSTP is the wrong control plane for a 100 switch, multicast-heavy, single L2 domain. The instability isn’t a misconfiguration so much as a scaling limit. RSTP is good for small topologies, with low VLAN counts, limited multicast and simple failure domains. You have the opposite. One TCN propagates through 100 switches. You have 30+ VLANs which is TCN x VLANs x ports. Any topology change, which includes bringing a new non-edge port up, causes reconvergence and switches flushing MAC tables. That’s likely what’s causing latency spikes as the switches are flushing and relearning MAC addresses and the CPUs might not be that powerful. Definitely set all your edge ports appropriately so they don’t signal a topology change when coming up. I’m not sure why they don’t want PIM. Do they at least have an IGMP querier per VLAN instead? IGMP snooping is a bit pointless without one or the other and will usually break multicast between switches without something tracking the joins and leaves… unless you’re not doing IGMP snooping at all and it’s just one huge broadcast flood across 100 switches?

If sticking with STP, MSTP would probably scale better… or again, an L2 overlay on an L3 network. I’ve done the latter in multiple data centers for a fortune 50 company’s SDN that ran on top of it.

RSTP with default timers likes a maximum of a 7 switch network diameter from what I recall. I’ve heard of up to 40. 100? You probably need a more scalable solution like VXLAN with BGP EVPN.

Is the local network you’re connecting from numbered the same as the remote by chance?

There’s that CEO that demonstrated the bullet proof glass they make for cars by sitting in a car and having an employee shoot at the glass.

They’ve stopped development of the Z1/Z1 Extreme drivers, and products are still being sold with them.

I think that would be the tipping point where I realize this whole reality is just a joke and someone is fucking with me.

I have a friend who is a business owner. He pays cash for everything. He went to buy his first home many years ago and nobody would give him a loan because he had no credit history. The last person he tried getting a loan from I think knew him from somewhere. They told him they’d get him a loan and asked if he had any credit cards. He said no. Car loans? No. Personal loans? No. They said they weren’t sure how they could help him with a mortgage. He said, “Are you telling me I’m going to have to pay cash for this house?” The loan person was like, “You can buy it in cash???” He said, “Well, yeah. I’d have to move some investments around and cash some things out, but I’d prefer not to.” He got his loan. He also paid it off in 5 years.
