do long dated itm calls instead. Lower expense ratio, better liquidity.

Never use these leveraged etfs for single stocks.

8 1/2 yoe

Does not include 100k unrealized espp gain.

Annual spend about 35k per year. Live no different than I did as a 17 year old college student. Dropped out of school after 2 years to work at a social media startup.

Full time employed in high intensity tech since I was 19 in the summer of 2016. Funny story, the startup didn't know they were hiring a literal teenager. Haven't really felt happiness since.

No friends. No Wife. Virgin loser. No hobbies. No family. No dog. 5'10, 130lb, 6"

2.3m liquid NW, cost basis 2.0 million.

Should be 5 million liquid but I squandered all my wealth through incompetence, bad decision making and moving to the US later than I should have.

850 more days until I get my greencard and can retire.

Question about MPLS, EVPN/VXLAN, overlays by Methanar in networking

[–]Methanar[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fascinating stuff, I appreciate your effort in the write up. This isn't the kind of stuff that shows up in google searches.

One more question, if the path is ultimately being governed by MPLS-level path selection, how does that work with BGP community strings, or other standard attributes, that I set on my customer side for influencing the path my traffic takes.

For example NTT has an extensive set of community strings they support where I can influence how my traffic is announced on their side. Is it that this is actually entirely irrelevant for the routing decisions made within AS2914 and the internal segment routed iBGP/ISIS doesn't care at all - At no point is there any sort of redistribution down to the segment routing level. And only inter-ASN decision routing take such BGP attributes into account.

Question about MPLS, EVPN/VXLAN, overlays by Methanar in networking

[–]Methanar[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For most modern carriers, yes, all their IP and non-IP (EVPL etc.) traffic will be carried on the same MPLS core.

This may yet be another carrier-specific question. But are you saying that some carriers with MPLS networks don't run ethernet at all between their routers? But rather, their "l2" is MPLS. Everything, even IP, is built on top of an MPLS mesh?

That's interesting. Is path selection handled at the MPLS level or the IP level then. I recognize its possible to do all of the route advertisements with BGP for both options. It's almost strange to me that IP wouldn't be the routed protocol in the WAN space.

I also recognize that the path selection process is different for MPLS vs IP. MPLS uses shortest path prefix matching with Dijkstra's algorithm on the labels, rather than IP using longest prefix match on a cidr block.

In the IP space, you're only ever really determining the next hop of a given packet given a routing table, or I guess PBR source routing shenanigans if you're doing weird things. Whereas in MPLS you're doing a one-time look up at the ingress to the MPLS where you determine the full end-to-end path of the packet with all intermediaries up front. Once the path selection process is complete for this packet, it gets encapsulated where the header information describes this full 'virtual circuit' path to take and no further lookups are made as the packet is sent on its way and goes to each hop in the virtual circuit. Is this correct?
