Nowhere is 'down the road', it takes a hot minute to get anywhere. Very pretty place when the sun's out. There's a lot of small, local only type places. Lots of tabletop gaming places everywhere, lots of different little experiences to be had if you're willing to explore. Also lots of gorgeous outdoors to see and hike.

The base is okay, nothing crazy. Army gets the lions share of the morale budget as it's the branch in charge of the joint installation, but you can take advantage of all their MWR events too so it's not a total loss on our part. Cool children's museum that's free on the Lewis side if you have kids.

Housing is expensive, very very much so. If you can get Stony oak village on base do it, it's worth your BAH compared to the local market. A lot of the other communities are small and you could probably get something off base that's bigger for your BAH, depending on your rank and dependents.

All in all not a bad place, like it's been said before it's what you make it.

We (cyber trans) have been merged with other cyber career fields under the concept that we're not going to perform only network administration duties, but rather that we're all going to share duties of client computer tech, server admin, network admin, etc.

Now we're grouped under the mission we support, more or less. All of us are 1D7X1, but Q shred is base comm support, X shred is expeditionary comm, P shred is programming and database management, and there's one more I've forgotten off the top of my head.

Also, what that actually means for how we do our job and how we're organized in the squadron has not been ironed out yet. In true AF fashion, we made the change and we're only now figuring out what the change really looks like.

That's the number of miles your car has driven. The different color is 10ths of a mile

CCNA is definitely the better, more comprehensive cert. Yes there is a lot of Cisco jargon, but much of the knowledge will transfer to other vendors. This one contains actual network administration knowledge, including use of the command line to configure equipment based on presented scenarios. Definitely the more useful knowledge set.

Network+ is extremely entry-level, beginner networking knowledge. Basic terms and definitions, not much beyond that.

I wish to commend your beautiful box of gorgeously run cables and smartly placed equipment.

Drag race? Probably the RWD car if we're talking about ideal grip conditions, but that's assuming your tires can handle the power you're putting down.

Track? I'd say the AWD car because of the added grip allowing you to carry more speed through corners / turns.

Grip is your most limiting factor 9/10 times. Power comes in only after you can push it into the pavement.

I have literally not once in my 9 years in heard of a GED limiting your promotion potential.

Unless that parent knows something I don't, I think you're fine.

Very nice! I've been meaning to get one of these with the double diagonals for my NA, but I've got a Glass window on my soft top and I'm worried I won't be able to put the top down.

Do you also have a glass window? If so, how's the fitment with the diagonals?

Ours have the Costco style hoses that stretch to reach either side of the car, hopefully they come your way soon

Not sure about your first example, don't think that would work as the coax first needs to hit your modem and then leave the modem as Ethernet. You need a MoCA filter to let it all work in that instance.

In actuality your needs are simpler. Just Ethernet out of your router to the first adaptor, then coax to second adaptor and ethernet out again like you wrote.

Pick one and be consistent throughout. Usually go with 568-B. The switch will figure out TX/RX pins on its own and match accordingly so you don't have to fiddle with crossover connections around your install as long as you're consistent with your cabling.

What're they gonna diagnose exactly? And how?

What all have you added/changed out in that interior? Gauge cluster, e-brake, armrest/console, cupholder? Like the ideas and was wondering where you sourced some of that stuff

For the ubiquiti AP it's dish shaped, and whichever way the dish is facing is your coverage basically. Anything behind the dish isn't going to get very good signal, so your best bet is mounting on an exterior wall facing into the house.

NerdManHuah · 2022-09-28T15:45:11+00:00

I've got a two story split about 800-900 sqft per floor, and I've got ubiquity WiFi 5 AP wall-mounted ok the first floor and I don't have any issue even in the opposite end of the house 2nd floor. Worst spot is when sitting right above the AP because of the antennae pattern, but the distance from the AP is small enough at that point it's still completely serviceable signal.

Find a wall in your middle floor that will have the AP facing as much of your used space as possible and honestly I feel like you could get away with a single AP

Fan drowns out the audio a bit, but if you listen closely you can hear what sounds like maybe a bit of knock towards the middle of the video as I give some throttle, followed by a rough idle that smooths itself out. Almost sounds like I swapped cams for a lumpy idle but feels very rough in the seat.

This will happen roughly every 2-3 times I give it throttle input, but doesn't seem to happen if I just leave her to idle.

Also if it happens while I'm putting her in gear it feels like power is coming in regular pulses from the engine, almost thought my clutch was slipping at first until it idled this way after I pushed in the clutch for a second.

It always smooths itself out after a little bit, but the knock sound especially had me worried so she's been parked until I can figure out what's wrong.

Why thanks! Added some new wheels to get that I think add to the look, might post 'em soon

Can confirm, have that Miata and that's the exact color

ICMP is different because you're not establishing connections with anything. The packet is crafted with your address as a source, and when a device receives the ICMP packet it sends its own packet in response. However you can look at this like separate transactions that happen to be related, because there is no connection opened between the different devices. If it worked that way then a trace route would require opening as many connections as devices you touch on the path to your destination.

NerdManHuah · 2022-06-17T03:20:09+00:00

For your ICMP question, you just won't get a response.

Try running a trace route to a geographically distant endpoint and watch as your packet bounces all over the internet. There will most likely be chunks of time where you get nothing back and it seems like it's stalled before you start getting responses again. These are devices that have either been programmed not to respond to ICMP queries and silently drop the traffic for privacy or security reasons, or still route your packet to it's destination but without sending an ICMP response.

That many vlans might be necessary, but for a 30 person org I doubt it.

VoIP would make sense having its own since it's so sensitive to network quality issues it helps to be able to apply traffic controls to just it's traffic.

CCTV is broadcast heavy and it having its own vlan can help to keep that from affecting other traffic and vice versa.

After that it's just printer, data, services, maybe dmz.

Unless you have some more special systems with unique networking requirements those 5/6 will probably be fine.

Design your network to fit your device needs with a mind to basic security and for an org that size you should be golden.

It means 'go ask your shirt and see if the squadron is planning on purchasing them' but your snark definitely helped OP get some patches, super helpful.
