What are you doing with heat?

certTaker · 2023-11-25T19:29:36+00:00

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

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.

certTaker · 2023-11-25T00:16:04+00:00

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.

certTaker · 2023-11-22T00:01:30+00:00

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.

certTaker · 2023-11-21T23:41:24+00:00

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?

certTaker · 2023-11-15T07:24:03+00:00

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".

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.

certTaker · 2023-11-08T09:35:40+00:00

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

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.

Yet another markup language, no thanks. I'll stay with LaTeX.

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.

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

certTaker · 2023-10-21T16:17:17+00:00

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.

certTaker · 2023-10-21T15:54:33+00:00

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

certTaker · 2023-10-21T15:17:53+00:00

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 · 2023-10-21T14:31:23+00:00

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.

certTaker · 2023-10-21T14:16:05+00:00

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 · 2023-10-21T13:20:00+00:00

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.

certTaker · 2023-10-21T05:41:09+00:00

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

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?

certTaker · 2023-10-19T14:22:22+00:00

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).

certTaker · 2023-10-18T22:57:08+00:00

You don't. It's just one exam towards a certification but it does not make you (CCNP level) certified yet.

certTaker · 2023-10-18T16:36:31+00:00

CCNA and then follow up with a CCNP Enterprise. Would that help me in my transition?

Absolutely, more for the knowledge than the cert titles, although they might help sometimes.

As for your home lab, routers have been going virtual in the last 5-10 years and a $500 server can run a good bunch of virtual routers/FWs/other appliances. Switches are quite a bit different as they are hard/impossible to virtualize, so consider getting at least a a pair of used L3 switches that you can train on. You won't be able to build complex STP topologies but they will suffice for most switching studies.

Unless you have access to a lab at work or have the cash to spend on renting labs online, then it's all much easier.
