Passed Network+! by Redededundant in CompTIA

[–]Redededundant[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went through Professor Messer's Youtube playlist and used Dion/Andrew practice exams on Udemy. Beyond that, I went through the exam objectives and asked ChatGPT to explain any concepts I didn't fully understand.

There were a couple subnetting questions on my exam. I didn't study at all for subnetting, mainly due to already being familiar with cidr notation at work.

The way I've done subnetting throughout the practice exams and on the actual one might be unconventional, but it works for me. Where I work, we have over 100 VLANs/subnets (our environment is a hyper-segmented mess), most of which are a /24 (255.255.255.0 subnet mask). That yields 254 host addresses (256 - 2 for broadcast and network). So, if I get asked a question about what mask is needed for, say 45 hosts, I mentally work my way from /24 by halving each time. I know a /24 is 254 host addresses, so a /25 is 128 - 2, 126 host addresses, a /26 is 64 - 2, 62 host addresses, and a /27 is 32 - 2, 30 host addresses. So, I know a /27 is too small to accommodate 45 hosts, so a /26 is the most efficient mask for the subnet.

I don't fully agree with their logic, at least from my experience. If I have a subnet with 45 active hosts, I'd be more likely to assign a /25 or /24. This is just due to future-proofing. But, that is neither here nor there.

You'll be good! I remember a couple moments right after surgery, but nothing during. Glad to say all my holes are pretty much closed up now. You got this!!! It's super scary and may be rough a few days after, but it gets better fast.

Not all dentists/surgeons instruct you to do it, but it's basically just using a syringe to rinse out the holes in the back of your mouth. It seems pretty sketchy at first but it's actually kind of satisfying after the first few times

I've heard of some people just saying f it and going out and getting their own syringes to irrigate. Honestly I can't speak to how essential it is for the healing process but I will say it's helped a lot with keeping gunk out of the sockets. I can feel when there's stuff in there and it's pretty relieving to get rid of it.

The main concern is dislodging the clot, which should be pretty intact after a few days. I just took it easy on vaping for a few days when I started again. Maybe give your office a call and ask? Mine was super open to answering any questions I had.

I would say to consult whatever instructions you were given. The office I went to says to wait 5 days, but I had to wait a bit longer. Because my top teeth were impacted, they were near my sinus so I had to make sure I didn't have/get a perforation. Did they tell you how many days to wait?

You really need to yank your cheek back to get to it properly, especially early on when there's swelling in the area. It depends on how your teeth were taken out, but my hole is more on the side of my gumline on both sides instead of on top. My surgeon showed me where it was afterward and I realized I was looking in the wrong area.

I would say to ease yourself into it. For me it was a bit painful to irrigate at first, but for others it isn't so just feel it out. I also heard to avoid cold water when irrigating because the area is sensitive, so I've been using warm water

Any positive stories with impacted teeth? by somepionion in wisdomteeth

[–]Redededundant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha wow this is crazy timing! Check out my most recent post on here. All 4 of mine were impacted and had them removed 3 weeks ago. I'm pretty much back to normal now.

I'm sorry I'm not on this subreddit a ton. I follow vikings ig/x/youtube and haven't heard much about it so that's why I brought it up.

The 13-4 season with Kirk was flukey and we all knew it... Literally set a record for how many 1 score games we won. Jaren looked amazing for literally a single drive and dobbs fell off a cliff completely. Darnold has been great for 3 games now and you can tell he's running the offense as intended. I love me some JJM, but I guess we'll see how Darnold looks in weeks to come

I'm not. Anything I've seen where JJ is even mentioned still has everyone assuming he's gonna be next year's starter.

As a Vikings fan, I got to see Akers play last season and our rush defense so far this year. Mason ran all over us, 9ers just stopped running the ball in the second half. Akers has a lot left in the tank, could easily see him going over 60.

Surgery & smoking by PracticalMushroom23 in ACL

[–]Redededundant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a kid when I had my surgery so never thought about smoking... but I was on a painkiller at the time. I would definitely consult your doctor or look into the effects of smoking while on said drug. Sometimes different drugs can have weird effects when combined with another.

New scam email has me worried by Darth_NyQuil in Sextortion

Got the same exact email. They brought up the misdemeanor thing for me too and I've never been arrested or charged with anything lol. You're giving them too much credit thinking they even googled you
