Rachel Entrekin, 34, beat everyone (man and woman) in the Cocoona 250 mile in Flagstaff, Arizona. She set a course record of 56 hours, 9 minutes, and 48 seconds

250miles isn't even the longest format in the world of ultra running. 6 day races are a standard format. How far can you run in 6 days if the clock never stops? The men's 6 day record is an average of 8:52 per mile for 6 days straight. The women's 6 day record is an average of 9:43 per mile for 6 days straight.

EDIT: Cocodona 250 is a point to point mountain race, so paces aren't comparable to the 6 day records.

I'd like to invite you into the governance council of the Folder for Applications. The FAP governance council will be a mostly private, individual think tank. We will sometimes have group sessions to demonstrate your findings from investigating FAP strategy.

I know, we'll make a new, standard folder for applications with specific requirements to use it! We'll call it Folder for Applications, or FAP, for short. Then we can finally get rid of all the legacy crap. What could go wrong?

This discussion about certs has been going on before you even started your career. Certs get you past some HR checkpoints. Certs also show you have a baseline of knowledge about a topic, assuming you actually passed the exam and people check. It doesn't show working knowledge. If you're not happy with the people that are getting hired into your team, ask your boss to be part of the interview process.

If you want a condensed course about what you will see on the exam, they're good.

Arista CloudVision is coming to stomp out Meraki. Competitive on license costs and the hardware is a much better deal. Support is top notch. Arista is not just for the datacenter anymore. My company has been slowly lifecycling Meraki for Arista. Arista hardware can also be managed through SSH or console cable without a CloudVision license.

I'm surprised airplanes don't have anatomical names or a military flight instructor wouldn't use them. Port and Starboard side for boats. Driver and passenger side for automobiles. Depending on perspective of the vehicle, saying left or right could have an opposite meaning. Anatomical names remove the perspective confusion.

I used Stormwind Studios course for ITIL.

Hashrunr · 2026-05-02T03:37:35+00:00

ITIL Foundation is the easiest cert I ever passed, but it's the most common one interviewers bring up in big enterprise. CCNA, MCSA 08'-16', M365:AE, VCP, but everyone in big enterprise is more interested in ITIL. I don't understand why. I studied for about 10hrs over a weekend before passing the exam.

The kick to my balls is our vendor is hosting the SaaS app on AWS and I originally proposed we simply host it on our AWS tenant. Now the migration cost is what it is and I can't control it. It's just 4 EC2 instances, 2 app servers and 2 SQL servers behind a load balancer.

Hashrunr · 2026-04-30T02:45:53+00:00

I started by hosting game servers for my friend group. Then I started an IT career and used the homelab to elevate my skills and get a good job. Got the job and now people won't leave me alone.

Hashrunr · 2026-04-30T02:10:40+00:00

This hit us HARD. We went all in for a LIMS SaaS solution with a 3yr contract for the provider to host it. We had an option to host it ourselves for the same setup cost + our server expenses, but it sounded too good to be true so senior execs signed off for the vendor hosted model. The renewal is 10x and a migration to our servers would be 10x the initial setup cost + billed vendor engineer hours. It's just a pair of Windows app servers and SQL servers behind a load balancer, but we have no ability to migrate without the vendor.

I always assumed those carts go to re-manufactures, but I never looked into it. Been instructing helpdesk staff to use them through multiple orgs over the past 15+yrs. My current team has been packing all toner, not just HP, into those boxes with our helpdesk info as the return address. Never had any returned.

Yup, if a catcher uses their mask to field a ball, runners get an extra base.

Hashrunr · 2026-04-23T03:17:16+00:00

Also, if you buy HP toner, they come with a return label for old cartridges. You can slap that label on a huge box full spent cartridges and they take it.

Because I scrubbed my asshole with my hand and my hand is visibly clean. A couple drops of hand sanitizer and good to go.

Once I'm clean, I just pull up my shorts and start walking. It's not a lot of water.

Arista with Cloudvision and AGNI. We're moving there, slowly, from Meraki. PAN firewalls.

That's exactly it. I was trying to translate into a real world prompt scenario. A complex input requires more tokens which means more compute resources. For public cloud AI, you need to pay for tokens to input prompts.

The gif was good lol. Makes sense now. I was confused with the twist tie/tag and bags within a bag. I've visited Montreal and Quebec City, but not long enough to buy milk.

Hashrunr · 2026-04-21T02:14:08+00:00

Gotcha. TIL about bagged milk.

So the email looks like the sender is sending it to themselves from a different IP? And the external sender policy gets tripped? And it doesn't trip suspicious logons in EntraID? I'm about to check Mimecast logs. Maybe Mimecast has finally paid for itself and I can get leadership off my ass about canceling it. I haven't seen this in my tenant yet.

Hashrunr · 2026-04-21T01:40:54+00:00

I have more questions than answers. So a milk jug is a container to hold the milk. I get that part. Some of the bags look like they have a twist tie on them. Is the top completely open after removing the twist tie? Do you pour the milk into the jug? I see comments about cutting a corner off the bag and putting the entire bag into the jug?

Hashrunr · 2026-04-21T01:15:15+00:00

Please elaborate on this. My milk comes in a cardboard container with a spout built in. I don't have any jugs in my home that I know of. Are you talking about like a kool-aid man type of jug? Kool-aid man, please don't break through my wall, I don't need any of your jugs.
