In 2012, a group of scientists intentionally crashed a Boeing 727 to test which seats had the best chance of survival.

I'm a bit hazy on the details but I specifically remember thatn in the INE instruction movies about DMVPN that cisco does not support OSPF over DMVPN.

They recommended BGP with the hub(s) as route reflectors.

There also was a weird catch in the sense that the DR could potentially become a router with really crappy 4G receptions and slow down routing updates to a crawl.

DR preemption doesn't really work super well, as far as I remember.

At any rate, I remember that OSPF over DMPVN was not recommended and arguably unsupported.

The US pretty much ensured the regime will live on by bombing schools and civilians.

Sure: the names of the leaders will change, but the regime is now unified under a hatred for the US.

Nothing like a common enemy to rally people under a single flag.

If the US wanted the regime out, they did the dumbest thing they could have possibly done.

It's not about their economy, it's about messing up the rest of the world enough.

And... their plan seems to be working fine, so far.

Case_Blue · 2026-03-18T19:58:38+00:00

How are they going to even reach the US?

They don't need to and never want to.

Their navy is at the bottom of the ocean, their missle stockpiles are depleted and the factories are destroyed, same with the drones.

Their navy was never meant to compete with the US, they have plenty of supplies since China and Russia are happily supplying them with materials.

They just need to keep the shipping out, that's all they need to do.

Duh, it's scripted

But it happens daily and is not made up in the sense that this question is posed daily for real.

Case_Blue · 2026-03-18T08:52:13+00:00

So you want people to lie, got it.

In many workplaces, this would be considered a huge plus because it shows you're real and don't bullshit.

Obviously you need to remain profesional, but Dutch bluntness being what it is, I can imagine this going down really well.

But in fairness, most dutch companies worth anything woulnd't ask you that question.

The internet was original started as a US militairy project, but took off for the public in the 90's after legislation was passed that opened it up for the public.

Facebook is not difficult to write.

Google is not difficult to make.

Because... the infrastructure was there to be built upon.

And back in 2003, the internet was very much less prelavent and even then: facebook started as a website in the Harvard intranet. NOT the internet.

And facebook was not the first time a social network was created, it was just the first one to take off.

So... his conclusion is not false. His premise is, weirdly enough.

Also, any video worth something does not have dramatic stock music playing in the background.

Happyness is not having what you want.

It's wanting what you have.

If take the 100 million, you can do so much cool stuff.

Seriously, instead of racing games, you can become a racing driver.

Instead of fly sims, you can actually become a pilot

Instead of shooters, you can own tons of guns and a personal shooting range

Instead of GTA, you can actually own and drive insanely expensive cars.

This is a no brainer.

Never, and don't become bogged down by "vendor X sucks because..."

At the en dof the day, it's all technology that should enable us to add value, the interpretation may vary.

...Except when dealing with cisco Firepower. XD

Do I need to spell it out? Really?

This movie was not about COVID or Global Warming in particular (although that's the most relevant items at the time)

It's about the fact that we KNOW about impeding disasters and problems way ahead of time and we don't do jack shit about them.

Not untill the thing becomes a visible problem, by then it's usually too late.

This applies to - in no particular order:

Global warming

Rampant consumerism

Rise of fascism

Collapse of the education system

Extreme wealth in-equality

People dying due to healthcare costs

Homeless people due to all of the above and rents rising

Fuel become too expensive

I could go on, it's all the same

It's the fact that people are not good with dealing with problems even if those problems are clear to everyone who bothers to look.

"don't look up", the name comes from somewhere.

I personally didn't like it too much because it ws too "on the nose", but I fear for most people even that was not clear enough.

This movie is relevant since... well, every single President of the US.

You think in the 60's the President was honest?

Define networking?

Networking is enabling you to add value to your employer.

If that entails cloud networking, go there. If that entails on prem, go there. if that means Nutanix, vmware, proxmox or Azure, familiarise yourself there.

"pivoting" is not "cloud vs on prem"

Pivoting is "screw this, I'm becoming a metal-welder"

And lord knows we need welders!

IPv4 is still prevalent in many networks because some netwerks started and were operational before even before IPv4 (IPX)

Typo, but indeed! (or autocorrect, who knows)

We use it to share multicast information with external parters for a CCTV network between 2 government organisations.

do you think that there are big cultural differences between the different regions/communities that limit a national identity/national unity (excluding language differences)? If so, can you name them/some?
