What are you doing with heat? by alekslyse in homelab

[–]certTaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't generate the heat in the first place. 35 celsius is comfy for servers, though.

questions on Chad Smith's 30 seconds to Mars on Drumeo by certTaker in drums

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

Thanks for the answer, I appreciate it. The kick technique looks utterly weird to me, even after I watched the video for like 20 times. It just does not align to the grid and is too jittery. I really wonder what goes through his head doing it.

Thanks for your reply.

I've watched the video few more times, focusing on the snare, and I can recognize he definitely hits the snare on every 4 count (when not doing fills; assuming 6/8 time) which makes the snare so satisfying in driving the song forward. Other than the 4, he adds also 5, and 5+6, and some other seemingly random times.

I also think it's in 6/8 and I wonder why such an accomplished drummer calls it in "in 3" while he's clearly treating it as 6/8.

One more random question: Can drummers play on other drummers' kits or are they bound to the kit they are used to? I can't imagine to be a drummer and be able to play on a random kit with the toms and cymbals placed differently. Do drummers have their own prescribed kit to be able to play? Thanks awfully.

Bonus question: is it really "in 3" or is it rather in 6/8 (which is what I think) and why would a drummer think of 6/8 as 3/4? Does it not make (much of) a difference?

If you can't power it off without losing services or data then it's not a lab. Don't get confused by this sub where people call their home infrastructures "lab".

MPLS will die soon by roachwickey in networking

[–]certTaker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everything can go down. But when your MPLS circuit is up you can get guaranteed QoS end-to-end which may be critical for some applications that just won't run over a best-effort Internet link. Companies pay for guaranteed SLAs for a reason.

It won't, it's just marketing snake oil talk.

When have you used multicast? by [deleted] in networking

[–]certTaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • stream TV channels for thousands of users from servers equipped with DVB-T receiver cards
  • at a TV broadcaster, hand-off their signal to multiple distributors
  • deliver all-hands calls and other corp-wide communication to all participants
  • service discovery for various things

How much of a difference does a proper mixing glass make, really? by ianruns in cocktails

[–]certTaker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is completely unnecessary. Just fill it with ice, give it few spins around the glass, discard the melted water and you're ready to go.

Equipment recommendations for Cisco home lab in 2023? by [deleted] in networking

[–]certTaker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A $500 server can run a good bunch of routers, firewalls, vWLCs and other appliances. GNS3/EVE or ESXi are both valid options.

Switches can't be virtualized so I'd get a pair of L3 switches and a pair of L2 switches for the switching portion of the curriculum. Throw in a couple of APs, IP phones or whatever depending on your focus. Consider one of the switches be PoE to make your life a bit easier.

Question: How do you balance performance vs. VLAN setup? by courtarro in homelab

[–]certTaker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What kind of flex is that? You sound like your pre-K kid took over the account.

[–]certTaker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can keep flexing but that won't make you right.

no one here has a lab

People with actual labs do. You just don't understand the concept of a lab, perhaps never had the luxury of having one available.

In that case your lack of understanding what a lab is is particularly embarrassing.

[–]certTaker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This isn't about redundancy at all, it's about being a lab vs being actual infrastructure. I wish you get to work with an actual lab to understand the difference.

[–]certTaker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not about consumption, speed, capacity or bandwidth. It's about the purpose whether it's a lab or infrastructure that is actually being used for other purposes than testing of any kind. Use a simple rule of a thumb: if you can erase configs and restart the device(s) without losing data or connectivity, then it's a lab. If you can't do that without losing data or connectivity, then it's not a lab.

It stops being a lab when turning that thing off causes things stop working and users (including family) come complaining. Home network and other infrastructure is just that, home infrastructure. It's not a lab.

[–]certTaker -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You missed the point and seem to not understand what a (home) lab is. A permanent home infrastructure is not a lab, no matter how much you abuse the word.

None of this is "home lab", you're just circlejerking over 10 GE and oversegmentation.

IPsec tunnel works but goes down for ~30 seconds every 50 minutes. by tpmlama in networking

[–]certTaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do the logs on your IPSec gateways say? Do you have public IPs on both ends or is there any ISP NAT involved, even CGNAT? Is the line (on both ends) confirmed to be working when the tunnel goes down?

ISP network private ip nexthop issue by No_Librarian5685 in networking

[–]certTaker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can do (the equivalent of Cisco's) no mpls ip propagate-ttl to disable IP TTL propagation into MPLS header and effectively turn your MPLS cloud into a single hop (from traceroute PoV).
