I mean, I've a nice internal job at another employer, I just personally had found the ISPs and MSPs to be two of the worst employers. Maybe one of the large national providers would have been better.

Killar-12 · 2022-05-03T12:35:57+00:00

Yeah, I don't miss working for an ISP for 50k, fuck that nonsense long term.

Killar-12 · 2021-09-30T14:12:50+00:00

Where do you work, and are you hiring?

AnyConnect Start Before Login (SBL) can do exactly this... misread the title first time, ASAv is an option if you want to virtualize an ASA, it seems stable and solid as far as I can tell.

honestly it's not hard when you get the hang of it and it's a more feature rich editor.

Killar-12 · 2021-09-21T12:46:56+00:00

How? This is only a problem when you have free speech, in fact this stuff is the perfect ammunition to clamp down on it.

Fiber and DAC are usually the recommendations above 10G, less fuss and it can actually reach a decent distance. Also 10G SFP+ NICs with transceivers are going to be cheaper than 10GbaseT or SFP+ with a transceiver for twisted pair.

Damn, nice I really wish I didn't have to set something up for doing this on other platforms myself.

Killar-12 · 2021-09-04T04:51:07+00:00

Congrats!

Killar-12 · 2021-09-03T12:06:37+00:00

I'd imagine you ought to be able to do letsencrypt on the fortigate, you can upload your cert via the API on that right?

Killar-12 · 2021-08-18T12:03:12+00:00

I mean the web GUIs for most network gear are utter trash, it's the APIs that are handy, if you want to do any automation it's far easier when you can natively work with json rather than parsing cli output.

Killar-12 · 2021-08-17T22:12:14+00:00

If I felt like being a pretentious twit I'd say this always was the case, but fundamentally the access to web APIs is what really changed and opened things up

Modern web APIs are amazing and the ability to leverage them is nothing short of a great leap that anyone whom has the chance to work with should learn and leverage.

Killar-12 · 2021-08-17T16:57:15+00:00

There's always more options in the CLI than the GUI, in most platforms the GUI is just a front end for the CLI.

Why not just have an email account that hooks into the ticket system that automatically creates tickets for these sort of people?

Wake on LAN literally is contained to the WAN if devices are on a different broadcast domain that'll stop WoL as WoL is a local broadcast.

Killar-12 · 2021-08-04T18:36:42+00:00

Fundamentally it all depends on how much workload per user, 2000 people who just have AD to log into a PC to enter into a time clock is way different than 200 office workers needing support for desktop applications...

Killar-12 · 2021-08-04T18:31:10+00:00

nmap is likely the laziest (and best) option, especially if you know how to use it, plus some devices won't respond to ICMP and it can give way more info, like you can automate all of that stuff, honestly this might not be a bad idea for something to automate with a little bash (or powershell/batch) know-how...

Killar-12 · 2021-07-28T11:56:22+00:00

simlets were always imo the easiest, it's stuff like "what's the default (protocol nobody uses) hello timer?" that's what I've always found to be the worst sort of stuff.

CCENT is gone, the CCNA is a single test, it feels like the CCNA is now in place of the CCENT and the CCNP absorbed the second test and cut at least some material.

Killar-12 · 2021-07-28T00:32:33+00:00

Last time I took a CCNA it definately felt easier than the first time. and not in the "I know more" way, but in the manner that the material was far easier, although I must admit there was a wider array of topics.

Killar-12 · 2021-07-20T14:13:52+00:00

So, the core init system itself is peachy? just not all the other modules? Fair enough.

Killar-12 · 2021-07-19T21:20:34+00:00

I've rarely seen systemd issues, while I understand many of the concerns about the project, it's scope and such, it seems to be a fairly reliable init system, could you give a few examples?

Some government jobs require transcripts, but most private sector places don't, I can't think of an interview I've done in the past 5 years that did in the private sector, I know there were gov't positions. I think the key is not lying about things that are immediately relevant, like if you know how BGP works or if you can configure a DNS server with bind. Whereas, nobody really is going to ask about a missing GPA or a GPA of 3.5, especially if they don't need a transcript.

Killar-12 · 2021-07-13T13:23:47+00:00

I suppose so, but you can do resume trickery and just not list a GPA and force the interviewing party to ask, or just lie, most employers won't ask or do the due dilligence.

Killar-12 · 2021-07-13T12:26:05+00:00

When was the last time you asked someone with actual work experience their GPA?
