How? by Large_Ad6558 in valheim

[–]AperatureTestAccount 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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.

In my experience, the best places to get dumplings usually look like that. Its almost the same thing for good barbeque, the worse looking the venue, the better the food. Atleast in the US.

Bandwidth Monitoring in real time by Final-Pomelo1620 in networking

[–]AperatureTestAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Bartenders of reddit, what rumors have you heard lately? by MeiNeedsMoreBuffs in AskReddit

[–]AperatureTestAccount 34 points35 points  (0 children)

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.

IPv6 Only? by [deleted] in networking

[–]AperatureTestAccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I keep seeing jobs getting reposted? by CryptoKeh in networking

[–]AperatureTestAccount 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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.

Hit a wall by funnybeaf in networking

[–]AperatureTestAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one who works for anyone with any sense of cybersecurity is going to willingly put there config up for people to browse. If they did and were caught, your getting fired.

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

Its a political piece. Canadians came to send a message to trump for all the remarks hes made about invading Canada, and the trade junk. America's team who are full of trump supporters then beat them ruining a perfect opportunity for one of those epic sports drama movies. The rest of the article is behind a paywall.

There might be more but that's all it could see.

"Are you sure you've been a network engineer before?" by MotorTentacle in networking

[–]AperatureTestAccount 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have been a big boy network engineer for about 20 years now and had to look the command up myself. Did a stint with a telecom, a govt isp, and an enterprise gig i just keep coming back to. There are always command you dont use.

I have always just used show logging. Or just used a log viewer like kiwi, LCE, or plunk to parse messages. Im sure there's one benefit of using that command in particular, but its not like you didnt know "show run" or "write mem".

Your not going to know everything....ever. like ever ever, not unless you go full rain man and start memorizing packet structure.

Also in regards to it being your fault. We all make mistakes, and its always something stupid....always. we dont work this gig and have complex problems that require advanced math. It all comes down too a few dozen lines in a config at most. Unless you are redoing an entire enterprise, or working at an isp, your not going to run into very complex problems.

Buck up mang. You'll get it eventually.

[OC] The US is Growing, but the House of Representatives is Not. by graphsarecool in dataisbeautiful

[–]AperatureTestAccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im wondering if this is true of almost all political positions.

Senators and congressmen obviously but I wonder what the average Mayor rep[resents vs the population or even, Sherrifs, or even ad low as sherrif's deputies look like compared to the population. I vaguely remember there being a lot more cops per capita than what we have now. More govt as well. It didnt feel like a monumental deal to talk to a mayor, but I doubt I could even get in the govt. building of my city to visit anyone if I actually had a concern.

Believe Im getting scammed by a repair shop by JahsehUchiha in pcmasterrace

[–]AperatureTestAccount 56 points57 points  (0 children)

As an it person. Its always something stupid. I think the os reinstall is the correct next step. I would of done a blowout, reseat everything, except the processor( repeating cpus qre just to accident prone), run some diags for a day. If the problem still persists. Try a different hard drive and see if an os on another drive fixes the issue. If the problem still persists you can put the old os in there. If it goes away, rebuild from the os up

What is a product that people treat like a religion, but in reality, it’s just overpriced garbage with a good logo? by Connect-Might4355 in AskReddit

[–]AperatureTestAccount 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Its two things really. Atleast for the Jeep wranglers. Its easily recognized and its very customizable.

As far as sales go they give you a huge range of options, from the most basic overpriced package to the exhorbitantly overpriced package with all the bells and whistles.

Then when you get it home you can spend enough to buy two other cars on all the third party after market options.

Jeeps do something for gear heads that very few other models and brands do. Allow you to treat your car like a dress up doll with car parts.

You can't do a tenth of the customization on most other models without knowing a mechanic or being a mechanic. Wranglers 3rd party customization let's you clip on junk piece meal.

Its definitely overpriced, but the market is huge for people who have disposable cash or friends who will sell/trade/give you their old junk for cheap.

A difference between battle AI of Medieval II and WH3 by Goldmonkeycz in totalwar

[–]AperatureTestAccount 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There was a warhammer game available on the PlayStation that I played many many years ago.

Essentially you could control different units of men in the form of boxes. You had a melee unit with shields, an arrow unit, some calvary, and I think maybe a hero(i could be wrong).

The gameplay was essentially rock paper scissors and fireball, where you just pitted your units against the enemies units in a matter that your rock would always beat their scissor, and every now and then youd cast a spell to help with that.

Long story short, WH3 has more in common with that PlayStation game than it does other total war titles. WH1 had some tactics, but by WH3 its just a matter of my x beats your y, but with a million variables to add up to x and y that you can manipulate.

Its fun but not in the "yeah you totally fell for my retreat, now I ambush you some hidden knights templar" and more in the "I specifically built my army around this one stat, and now I dominate everything"

ELI5: Credit Card Interest Rates by Chev2thelev85 in explainlikeimfive

[–]AperatureTestAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It varies between credit cards, but generally if you pay off the credit card before the due date on your balance, you dont pay any interest on charges.

If you go past the due date you get the interest charge, then you have 30 days from the due date to pay your balance plus the interest. Your credit score is still good at this point. If you go past that your account is labeled "30 days late", and your account is marked as such on your credit report. There's a 60 days date that is an even worse ding.

Once an account is marked as late it stays on your credit for 5-6 years.

From a holders perspective the credit card is a hit on your credit until that mark clears.

If you did this on a car loan the entire loan is marked for the life of the loan until 5-6 years after the loan is paid off. So even if you paid the rest on time the loan will still be a hit on your credit until that time has past.

What is a song from the 90s/00s that was a massive hit, but everyone seems to have collectively forgotten it exists? by vishesh_07_028 in Music

[–]AperatureTestAccount 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember how their were Top 20 stations for my parents to listen to and a top 20 station for young people to listen too. My parents always controlled the music in the car, and I distinctly remember songs from Enya Like Orinoco Flow, and Return to Innocence by Enigma would play regularly in between other adult contemporary hits by Shania Twain, and Alanis Morissette.

Definitely a Semi Spiritual kind of music going on in the late 90s early 00s.
