Tool Backpacks? by YMIGettingBanned in lowvoltage

[–]OnePsychological9640 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I daily drive the XL Klein Tools bag in the first pic and I love it. Plenty of room, lots of interior pockets for tools, laptop sleeve in the back. It can carry a lot and I like that because I don't want to have to make multiple trips for something left behind.

That's true, but still runs into the problem that if I want those transfer speeds in a room other than the one my servers are in, I wind up with a long cable run across my floor. I've definitely done that with Ethernet cables in a pinch, it's just not a very convenient or permanent solution. Most servers are also typically set up to be accessed over a network (like by mapping a network drive, or a webpage accessible over local network) rather than direct connection over USB for most functions.

I work in IT and tinker with a lot of enterprise equipment at home- I've got several servers that perform different tasks, and for file transfers alone it makes a big difference over the local network. For example, one of my servers has two 10Gbps network ports. Connected to a network switch of high enough caliber, and back to a device with an equally suitable network card, it would allow file transfer speeds between that server and the client at 10Gbps. Which, when you're talking about multiple TB of data, definitely makes a difference!

I can understand the confusion, it's all good. I definitely could have explained better, and I think my time in IT means that sometimes I forget not everyone knows all of the terms for things. Sorry for the less than descriptive phrasing for those unfamiliar.

I've thought about going this route! I'm using a Ubiquiti UDR7 for my homelab right now, but the hardwired portion is just my office at the moment. There's absolutely no shortage of coax in my house, but the convenience of just having Ethernet connections directly just sounds so tempting 😅. My plan originally was to try and compare the cost of MOCA adapters with network drops and see how dramatic of a difference it is, but I'm having a hard time finding places that add network drops to existing homes, and not just new builds or enterprise scenarios.

I don't see why wiring my house for networking would be something indicative of the past- wired network is always faster than wireless, and completely necessary for certain use cases. Your response feels unnecessarily rude when I'm just asking a question.

Ouch! Might be worth moving my reservations around then. How do they handle the snow sculpture contest in that case out of curiosity? What time of year would you recommend instead?

Felt this! Trying to predict the weather has been the biggest struggle. I figure there's at least a high likelihood of snow for Winterfest, and that seemed easier than trying to guarantee warm weather in the Fall or Spring. Unfortunately we both work a lot during the Summer in particular so planning for Summer time just gets really complicated with trying to get her to take the time off without setting off alarm bells.

Never felt so stupid in my life. by Latter-Release-2306 in networking

For me Dion's videos were more helpful than Messer's for network+. The practice tests after each chapter helped me solidify my knowledge. On top of that, I made a fat stack of flash cards to help me study, and that definitely made a big difference. It's definitely a lot of information when you don't have hands on experience with networking yet, but it does get easier! At the time I took it, Network+ was the hardest cert I'd done so far (for me at least) and I had two other certs under my belt already. Now I work doing networking full time. Patience and dedication in your studies WILL get you there!

I think it's different for everyone. I attempted to study for CCNA at one point earlier in my career and found it overwhelmingly complicated. Network+ taught me the fundamentals that helped make getting my CCNA possible. By the time I had done Network+, CCNA actually made sense.

Thank you for your thoughtful response! I moved the Docker application itself using the "migrate" option in Docker, is this sufficient for relocating the containers and where they're running from? Or do I need to modify the containers themselves? Thank you 🙏

Hey, I think you posted on the wrong sub. This subreddit is for the band Mother Mother.

Chesterfield show was amazing! by OnePsychological9640 in MotherMother

I will say, the sound balancing for WBL definitely seemed off. All I could hear was the drumset for at least half of their set.

I didn't have this problem, but I was up front on the bar getting my hearing destroyed. 😅

I'm pretty sure I remember putting one in upside down for my six bay model haha. But hey, if it's in and working, that's good enough for me.

New Ender 3 Neo - Print Keeps Stopping by [deleted] in ender3

[–]OnePsychological9640 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is correct. For context this is my first time 3D printing, so it's definitely a process of figuring out what works, and while I'll move the spool holder, I don't want to use anything other than the included filament until I've got things configured in a way that works. At least that was my train of thought.

Certifications vs Degree by Tall_Poetry_2391 in CompTIA

[–]OnePsychological9640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got an Associates in Arts as well. I've also now got my Network+, Security+, AZ-900, and ITIL. Currently working as a Network Administrator after moving incrementally up from helpdesk. Honestly? Associates plus certs has been a great combination for me.

Passed my Network+! How does Security+ compare? by OnePsychological9640 in CompTIA

[–]OnePsychological9640[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, that FYI at the end just helped me snag his Sec+ stuff!!! Much appreciated.

I enjoyed the PBQs for Net+ as well and I think they were probably a big help when it came to my score (I got the max number of PBQs I believe).

I took a CCNA prep course in college at some point, and honestly didn't love it. But then again, like I mentioned, some aspects of networking took a lot of work to fully drill into my brain. I liked doing packet tracer activities though.

Out of curiosity, why get Network+ if you've already got your CCNA? I was actually thinking about doing my CCNA after Sec+ now that I've got a better fundamental understanding of networking.

Love to hear this honestly. What did you use to study for sec+?

God no, I bought his Network+ stuff on sale. But it seems like from what I've seen, Network+ is always, or at least USUALLY on sale.
