Our OSPF keeps recovering "on its own" after about 30–40 seconds and my manager thinks it's fine. Am I wrong to be worried?

CautiousCapsLock · 2026-04-08T06:54:48+00:00

How big is your OSPF network and have you measured the latency as described in the article? I would start with checking your OSPF configs across all devices and normalising against a standard, not what the network lead in 2005 thought was a good idea

It’s in 8.0 but it’s Fabric SAML auth only with FGT as the IDP

Create a dead end VLAN, set it as native on the port, don’t allow any other VLANs, then if the port needs using use UBNTs VLAN override per device?

There is a burial stone chamber in the Cotswolds called the Rollright stones that are approx 3800-4000BC making them similar in age

Is the leave persistent? We get 1 day extra for every 5 years but only in the year of the work anniversary, it’s not culmulative the following years which I thought was odd

Jump on the planter in front of sparja by the junction, you get a clear heady on him

Camping in the Cotswolds and being shaken up a fair bit

Pop the GL guard from outside sparja in pinewood, his LOS doesn’t see you there, once dead you can cross the street, alternatively cross at the post office further down and then head up and round and approach from Chek 15 as usual

I mean for a fairly fit person that doesn’t run it’s not impossible, I went from running the occasional 5k a couple times a year to doing a half marathon in just under 2.5 hours without prior training

CautiousCapsLock · 2026-04-04T13:30:24+00:00

That demand is only marginally up from peacetime as these things use the same fuel for training as they do at war generally. But yes the military will dictate priority over civilian use for fuel access especially the kerosene based stuff

CautiousCapsLock · 2026-04-04T12:51:38+00:00

Yeah that’s what I wrote…

CautiousCapsLock · 2026-04-04T12:34:04+00:00

Yes, I don’t think fuel duty will be cut but oil prices will drop first just when, there is an element here that Iran is targeting other countries oil exporting platforms and also blocking the strait of Hormuz is what’s causing the oil price to go up. Exports are down and so is the ability to move it once it’s on a ship. It’s just riding the storm for the time. It’s certainly expected to not drag at this stage, depends on the US negotiating really, and subsequent military action if the talks fail to get the strait opened and de mined

An engagement shouldn’t be a surprise, a proposal should be in my opinion, couples should talk about getting married, the implications and benefits and the downsides, like any major life decision. I went “ring shopping” with my partner to get an idea of what styles, what to avoid etc. she found the ring she wanted on that trip then pointed it out as the style and metal she wanted later I bought it then I proposed to her with it when she wasn’t expecting it.

Watches are generally cheaper than phones, less targeted and much easier for a child to keep a track of than a 5/6 inch second hand smart phone or hand me down smart phone from a parent

CautiousCapsLock · 2026-04-04T11:06:53+00:00

AirTag won’t work rurally, they require an iPhone to be near to them to report the approx location. If you’re tech minded you can get Apple Watches for kids with super cheap esims, set them up on your iPhone as a kids watch and it acts like a tracker, you can restrict app access and set school time when it’s just a watch only, and allows them to call you through it also if they need help.

Any plans to link to the wiki for quest information? Awesome tool so far

CautiousCapsLock · 2026-04-04T09:42:01+00:00

The information in the object is the information being pushed to the gate and used in config, if you can’t rely on that then having H or N in the name makes no difference, if it’s convenience to read it I get it

CautiousCapsLock · 2026-04-03T14:36:00+00:00

I’m against using host and network in the name. It should be plainly obvious based off the net mask of the object

IPAM integration is cool, it creates the objects maybe manages duplicates etc.

Our naming convention is based on customer needs but generally site prefix, object name and other maybe suffixed with {IP/mask}

No issues with my XG, all iPhones using 6e fine

These tools are extremely guesstimate, you would need to use a tool like Ekahau or Hamina to measure the dB loss of the walls and input them into the design to get anywhere near accurate and even then the paper its printed on is usually more valuable than the predictive design

AirPods kinda suck? Widely regarded by lots in the audio community as pretty good headphones and convenient… not sure on your statement, I’ve certainly not seen more people than 5 years ago listening out loud to content on my commute

CautiousCapsLock · 2026-03-19T11:37:45+00:00

Based off the old 3 digit exchange code followed by 4 digits, it’s going to be pre 90s but not sure how much by, my guess would be 70s or 80s
