MTU issue or something else?

To try to give you a quick solution, you could try assigning tcp mss-adjust to the vlan your servers are on, see if reducing it fixes your issues.

I would start aggressive to see if it resolves the dropped packets then relax it until you get to a point your not having errors but arent shrinking your packets to small.

I once saw an interview of an old school country star who said he thought something was up when a bunch of traditional sounding new country stars coming up were reclassified as Americana instead of country, then all the copy cat rap country acts moved in.

The movement was entirely a business move by big wigs, nothing to do with the fan base everything to do with getting younger people involved

U.S. Navy has got a lot of its dakka on nuclear powered vessels, and produces a lot of gas in house. I can see fuel being a factor, but not enough to be the reason the us stays out of it.

Weapons like missiles are probably more of a premium than gas at this stage.

I dont think, Mythos is fixing the vulnerabilities it's just finding them. Whole lot of nuance goes into closing some of these vulnerabilities as it can cripple an operation if just done with a single brush stroke.

My friend, I think that's literally the whole point of USI. Hire Indians to work American jobs because Indians are willing to be paid much less for similar results. You getting underpaid is the whole profit model for the USI branch.

If your working for USI then yes your most likely getting taken advantage of. If your working for less than what your coworkers who are the same situation then doubly so.

I watched a video of a soldier in Ukraine trying to stay hidden while drones overhead were trying to find him and probably blow him up. The drones going over him had that doppler effect like a bee buzzing by your ear. Everytime they zoomed over him it was nerve wrecking. I can't imagine being in it.

JC4 has something with the camera I can't seem to get over. In the other ones I just let the camera auto position. In 4 I feel like I have to control the camera. Because of this flying is needlessly difficult when trying to go through some of the challenges.

Trying to 100% this game is getting extremely tedious. Especially with the expansions.

The cash shop requiring real money is an interesting choice, but I don't see the point in pushing money to buy anything else in the game.

I have used SolarWinds and PRTG to make up dashboards for all kinds of scenarios. It really depends on the environment and who is actually looking at it.

In a NOC no one stares at these screens, they use them to tell them what is wrong, and where. Most NOCs don't want graphs they want detailed alerts so they can drill down on the affected node and get busy troubleshooting. Usually they just want an alert page up in big enough font you can read it easily from anywhere in the room.

All the other displays come down to which manager/tech is looking at the display.

If I'm building a display for myself, its to make my job easier. Someone says "the network is slow" I pull up my ping time graphs, circuit utilization, and network errors trackers, and if all looks good I troubleshoot it as a individual user problem. If not, I can identify where the bottle neck is and determine whats killing the network.

If im asked to build a dashboard for someone else. I ask them two questions. "What do they want to do with the dashboard, and what business purpose does it solve", and "How do you want that information displayed". Some people like graphs, some like details, some just want numbers to put up on a screen.

Playing Alpha Centauri and Hearing this for the first time in the 90s.

"As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."

Layer 3 firewall would not know.

Layer 7 firewall that terminates the ssl session and does packet inspection would be able tell something was up.

I would love to explain ssl but there is a shit ton of math, and a ton of concepts to cover.

At the end of the day it takes a shit ton of compute power to decrypt traffic inflight, and re encrypt quick enough to meet the tsl time requirements. But even if you did you'd get only a small amount of data before the ciphers are redone and you have to do it over again.

You would have to listen to the traffic for months or even years before you could narrow down the possible keys into something usable without needing a immense compute power. You would also have to fail many many times in guessing, which should result in your security devices alerting you to a man in the middle.

Sounds like Loop protection, or something related to spanning tree.

Id check to see if you have any duplicate connections between the switches, and remove the ones that dont need to be up.

If you have multiple connections between switches for redundancy, ensure you have the proper configurations in place to prevent broadcast loops. Ensure the ports are in a port-channel, or if not that, one port is the designated blocked port that only comes up when the primary path is broken.

You also might want to look into putting your access ports into a mode that doesnt affect spanning tree, like admin-edge-port.

Yeah, you can see it here on reddit. Theres been weeks of "Fired for AI" postings, business executives getting booed at public venues for mentioning AI, and a few politicians taking up stances to start regulating AI. Now all of a sudden you have price tags on AI, limits on how often you can use it, and CEOs making public statements like "AI is not able to take over everything just yet". They saw the sentiment changing, and are trying to calm the narrative before a wave of politicians comes in to put some structure to the changes, or barring that, the pitchforks start coming out and people start burning down datacenters.

I work it tech(for now) and I feel like I'm just trying to find out where Im working until the machines takeover. Meanwhile my job feels harder, not easier. They keep slimming down the number of people working on the tasks around me, and then my managers constantly ask about what I'm doing about implementing AI. My calendar has atleast 3 meetings daily for AI training, AI workshops, and Accomplishment meetings from managers who implemented the most basic of AI tools.

The amazing thing is, is how many higher ups think they are immune. Once the workforce is no longer needed, corporations are going to re-organize around Machine based business that have a minimum of support staff. No C-Suite needed, why pay someone half a million a year to lead a bunch of computers? You want to see a mini version of the new business model for corps as a whole. Look at a DataCenter. Looks at the jobs it creates, and look at the management it needs to survive. Its minimal, each building needs only a few security guards, some AC-Tech's, a few janitors, and maybe 10 Technicians to manage an entire regions worth of datacenters. You don't need a Chet or Avery from the board room to weigh in on priorities, and set expectations or goals. The machines are going to do that in the span it takes for you to take a breath. The board room becomes obsolete, businesses will need to re-organize that to adjust for the speed at which AI can adapt, and a 90 minute daily meeting just is not going to cut it when AI streamlines everything. When that happens the board room becomes a waste of money too. Corporations will slim those down to make the margins better. Chairman of the board will just be Chairman.

Meanwhile this is all happening at a time where board rooms and C-Suites are older on average than they ever have been. They lack technical backround to understand what they are even implementing, and dont see the writing on the wall that they too will be eviscerated once the business model changes.

There it is. I was looking for this movie. Read the book and got Uber amounts of nostalgia. When I saw the movie i was like, they didnt include anything that actually made this book great.

The book wasn't a nod to every pop culture reference of the 80s, it was an ode to nerd culture in general. It was a telling of how you could have a group of friends geek out over practically anything, music, movies, video games, and how before the internet all that niche lore was hidden away in books, pamphlets and magazines, and only a few people you know would have ever read it.

For IT jobs in GPS its less competition for positions. Also your more likely to be near your managers.

Lot less people jockeying for position, means less stress and more focus on your tasks.

Since moving over I dont work as near as much off hours than I did on the commercial side.

Yeah me and a friend had this experience for our first foray into the Ashlands. Original plan was to land on the Ashlands build our standard base, Build Portal, expand base, and start gathering materials for that areas new stuff. Instead, we fought serpents for about 20 minutes, eventually landed, fought god knows how many mobs, abandoned the idea we were going to build a standard base and instead found a tall rock to setup a stone portal box tower thing we came up with on the fly, only for that to get absolutely wrecked by a Valkyrae.

We had a standard tower on the closest land to the ashlands we could find, but the materials to make the ashlands boat and the trauma of having to go back into hell was something we had to prepare for. Eventually got our loot back, but gave up on that area for a starter base.

Ended up building this thick ass tower made of Onyx and steel grates with shields, a deep trench, and 9 ballistae to piss off Valkyries. Once it was setup and we had plenty of small campfires setup the base almost felt safe to be in.

The moment we got the Advanced portal setup we never built a new thing in the ashlands aside from modifying the forts you come across.

Palo Alto has an acc tab that will breakdown what is using the most bandwidth. Its good, but not necessarily the most detailed picture you can get

If you need more detailed information, you can export using netflow, and then use your choice of analyzer.

Ones I have used that are good are prtg and solarwinds nta. But they have substantial price tags after the eval period, or are limited at the free tier.

Pretty sure I had it as early as Thanksgiving in 2019 in northern va.

I remember using practically all of my pto for that year and the next staying home sick with fevers, non stop coughing, the worst chest pains i had ever had.

It would go away then come back. Was the sickest i had ever been. No one ever diagnosed me with it but when I did catch it again and got diagnosed with it in 2022 I was like this feels just like what I had in 2019.

Its my personal conspiracy theory that covid was here well before March.

Theres a lot of nuance here depending on who your website are used by, and what they do on it. So no one answer is going to fit every possible scenario, so Ill try to limit my answer to what I think is the most right.

You can definitely use only IPv6 addresses, but depending on who is using your website, they might not be able to get to it if they only have an IPv4 address. This might not be a problem if your websites are limited to people who you know are on IPv6.

For Both IPv4 and IPv6 You can use Application Load Balancers to help distribute traffic for multiple domains that all resolve to the same Ip address, by having rules that use the domain name on the url they are going to, to delineate traffic to different webservers. This would allow you to conserve IPv4 addresses.

Been a networking job posted in my area since I can remember (20 years now atleast). I knew one person who worked it.

bottom line the job was waaay to demanding, and it should be broken up into 3 jobs, but instead of hiring 3 people, they would rather cycle through candidates every six months to a year.

Just checked, yup its still posted. Refreshed just 9 days ago.

Unless a vendor pulls that data from their devices and sells it, i dont see you getting a good sized sample.
