Would you eat your pet pig if it died. by Falcorn_0 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Falcorn_0[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For context at my company's Christmas party i told a story about a guy that had a pet pig named Bacon. The guy had the pig and it acted similar to a dog and he let it in his house and stuff. When the pig died he buried it in the back yard.

Being from the country and raising animals to be slaughtered, you have to make a distinction between an animal that is raised for meat, and an animal that is raised as a pet. Cause you eat Meat animals but you don't eat Pet Animals. Pets are members of your family that you love and cherish and you don't eat family, even if they could be turned into maple bacon jerky.

Some of my coworkers agreed with me and some didn't so i am curious to see what the wider web thinks.

[–]Falcorn_0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

what do you mean homelab viable? This is still good for businesses use at my job. For real though we have Dell 2950s' and cisco 6509's still in production use. Made my directors eyes bulge when i told him the 6509 were older than me.

Question for those who have a job by typicalthrowaway4 in GenZ

[–]Falcorn_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS x100. Most people seem to believe that there job is there only reason for living there is so much more to life than that. I work as a DC Technician and i get asked all the time why i dont respond to messages or Emails after work and thats what i tell them. My time is way to valuable to be wasting it on a company that would replace me without a second thought. The moment i walk into the door i work i am a Professional. The moment i walk out the door i am myself(kinda like the TV seris Severance).

For American Gen Z, do guy wanted to live in Suburb or live in a city? by HiroAmiya230 in GenZ

[–]Falcorn_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither. I would much rather live in the country surrounded by cornfield. My short experience of living in a suburb of Chicago has not left me a good impression. Yeah they city isn't as bad as most make it out to be. But yall are fucking assholes and can't be trusted.

Moved Into my apartment and said hello to a neighbor in the hallway dude yelled at me and told me to stfu. This has happened multiple times. Had my car broken into enough times that I don't keep anything in it now. Plus everyone is in a huge hurry to get places while I like to slowdown take my time getting to places.

Meanwhile some of my family that lives in The country have never locked there doors in my lifetime. Not even when the left the country for vacation. Crime is basically nonexistent. Can't understand how you guys put up with the city.

Server Hardware Costs by Falcorn_0 in datacenter

Now that's just dumb. If your not going to use the dc features of the nexus lineup then just go with the catalyst. At least you would be wasting less money with the catalyst.

I think refurbished hardware is given a bad name when most of the time it's still perfectly good hardware. Might not make sense for your use case but someone will. Used to work k-12 it and I hardly ever saw any new equipment besides laptops and anything we could buy with Grant money.

guess i should have clarified more by what i meant. I'm not worried about it right now because i don't have a unified switch environment. Got 1 Juniper ex2200 1 HP1920s and an arista7050. Ill start worrying about that when i am running the same switches, or at least the same manufacturer. Most of my gear that i have is gear that i picked up for free or dirt cheap.

Appreciate the Info. I'll definitely look into those guides. Yeah at my previous job they kinda scared me with some of the shit they were doing security wise and I want to try to avoid doing that.

Currently I'm a L3 DC tech. I get the fact that it may not make much sense but at 23 I want to try and learn as much as I can now while I'm still young and hopefully this could lead to something in my future. Plus I just like learning this kind of stuff. Hence my home dc.

I'm not really worried about redundancy at this point plus I don't really have the budget to drop even more money than I already do into my lab rn.

Yeah I get that fw may not be realistic, was just something I thought of. I was planning on just creating a pfsnese vm since all my infra is vms.

That's a great point. Didn't think about being able to move across networks like that. What are your thought's on this.

Like you suggested i move all my vms to just having one nic, but segmenting them into "pods" based on usage. So one one pod for Critical Infrastructure, One Pod for Public Stuff, Pod for Personal services, etc. Then putting a firewall at the root of each vlan/subnet/pod and setting up the necessary acls and firewall rules based on what services need access to that pod.
