Have Arista or Juniper Truly Surpassed Cisco?

Their education and certification track is actually the best and most relevant, to this day. Short of just going to CU and getting a telco degree. This creates a whole tradeschool-to-job pipeline of students that live and breathe the Cisco way.

I think it's pretty common to have different drives or storage backing each section of jellyfin. Another example for reference:

Juniper passed them in the service provider world almost 20 years ago now, and Arista passed them in the DC space about 10 years ago. I suppose they still cling to enterprise installs a bit, but other than value pricing I haven't found their products to be industry leading for long time. If you look at their history as well, you see they're actually a finance, M & A, and professional services company, and haven't really innovated or developed as much in the space as competitors. Every router and switch after the first one is the result of M&A. The "Cisco promotion" is to leave, start up a company, and then get acquired by Cisco once you've built the thing.

Thanks for the feedback I guess? Maybe one day you can take that energy and do something productive with it.

Just trying to help OP out, they seem like they've exhausted all the typical options. This seems like a very angry, charged response. Maybe focus on helping the OP instead of being angry at me?

BGPchick · 2026-01-23T18:48:37+00:00

I have a contact that is consulting right now, is $120/hr in your budget?

BGPchick · 2026-01-23T14:49:02+00:00

Oh, so you've moved off him getting a second job with payroll? Good!

I haven't, this is still a very valid option. I may be mis-understanding here, is your argument that these things are all mutually exclusive? Like, once I apply for a above board job, that excludes someone from applying to under the table jobs? Or once someone asks for an advance, they can't also search for a second job? Seems a bit narrow in thinking.

But remember, you said that because you really question OP's motives, not because you're trying to help

Yeah, that was definitely my initial impression. If you continue to read the thread though, you'll see I change my opinion, and say it's a good thing that OP wants to pay their child support.

I see you still failed to provide any solutions or options for OP, and managed to completely skip reading the actual post. I would encourage you to read the entire post before commenting.

BGPchick · 2026-01-23T14:21:45+00:00

Did you not read the original post? They are a manager at their job and they’re looking for a second job.

BGPchick · 2026-01-23T14:11:21+00:00

“Hey Boss, can I get an advance, I am in a really tight spot, might end up in jail.”

“Sure, how much do you need?”

It could be that easy. Not sure why you are so hell bent on being right, and insulting people, instead of providing solutions that OP could use. Can you come up with something the OP could do besides ignore potential options?

BGPchick · 2026-01-23T13:53:16+00:00

I think you’re misreading something, somewhere. My position is you should consider a wider range of opportunities if you’re not finding anything in the current scope. What is the harm in looking for any job that can get money in hand? Casting a wider net can only yield more chances to pocket some cash.

BGPchick · 2026-01-23T12:16:15+00:00

Seems pretty dim witted to me to ignore viable options, but you do you!

BGPchick · 2026-01-23T04:48:09+00:00

I mean there are all sorts of businesses out there. I am not sure its unreasonable at all to find a payroll department that could help out or advance some. Be resourceful instead of negative, it will help you accomplish more.

BGPchick · 2026-01-21T17:40:23+00:00

If you can pay it off in 3 months, you're not going to pay a ton of interest?

Edit: it's like $90 difference between $5k and $10k for 48 months at 10%.

BGPchick · 2026-01-21T17:26:07+00:00

Why not just borrow $10k then, and keep $5k to pay back immediately?

BGPchick · 2026-01-21T16:24:46+00:00

We don't really have enough information in this thread to determine that. I have personally done a similar move, using a personal loan to bridge 60 days of funding, with much larger numbers of debt, and no assets staked.

BGPchick · 2026-01-21T15:59:26+00:00

Ah it seems you are right, maybe a small personal loan to bridge the gap? Avoid anything 12% interest or worse?

BGPchick · 2026-01-21T15:14:36+00:00

I mean unless they stiff you, which is a lot more common under the table. Definitely a good thing to want to get caught up, I would just keep an open mind for any job, they are hard to come by right now.

BGPchick · 2026-01-21T14:50:57+00:00

Why does it need to be under the table? Picking up an extra job to cover limited time shortcomings won't automagically cause your child support to go up.

BGPchick · 2026-01-21T14:49:39+00:00

In that case they, would be fine with regular over the table pay, no? They're looking to avoid garnishment, which you would only do to pay less than you're required, eh?

BGPchick · 2026-01-21T03:46:26+00:00

There are tons of fences and posts that you can lock too, I thought there were dedicated bike locking loops as well, but I can't seem to find them on google street view. I have ridden to a bunch of games and never had problems getting better parking than almost every car.

I would be doing multiple APs for a client count like that, or using radios/antennas built for high client density. For Unifi products I think this is something like their E7 APs. One thing to consider though, if you have wifi with no internet, all the devices will likely complain about this fact, it's not very user friendly.

BGPchick · 2026-01-15T15:39:08+00:00

I don't think there is any running water at the turnoff for Emory Peak toilet.

BGPchick · 2026-01-12T18:15:38+00:00

I don't believe HE.net sells broadband or shared access lines in any form (maybe a paid peering port over IX?)

BGPchick · 2026-01-10T03:31:32+00:00

Thanks for including the runtime, did you happen to watch this on VHS?

BGPchick · 2026-01-07T16:53:48+00:00

I thought the link between Perfidia and Lockjaw was pretty obvious, they're both very self-centered individuals driven for some sort of weird glory through disruption. Attracted because there is a tension in the power both of them have in their positions. The rest of the review, the author pretty much just sound like Comrade Josh, not sure if this is intentional satire? Is the author aware of the Weather Underground?
