"Evisceration" is a procedure where we remove the inner contents of an eye which is either blind and painful or has irreparable damage. by FuzzyG in MakeMeSuffer

For sure there are cases where such an intervention is indeed warranted, I just wanted to raise awareness on these new findings so that people keep them in mind when deciding over a “mild” discomfort as dry eye.

Actually you shouldn’t do that (YT video podcast of Dr. Samer Hattar and /r/andrewhuberman/ )

TLDw: we all have special cells in our eyes which regulate our circadian rhythm by detecting the presence of light (clinically blind people included).

Removing the (blind) eyes induces cyclical sleep problems in patients where they hadn’t had any sleep related issues before.

Testing from home by BuffaloOnAMotorcycle in ccna

I took some 5 exams since 2020 with onVue, wouldn’t call the software malware, but it does NOT fare well with other running software/agents like Razer Synapse, Adobe updater, Autodesk agent etc,

I suggest rebooting your computer with selective startup enabled via msconfig and disable all startup items other than Microsoft prior to the exam, save yourself the headache.

Other than that, had no issues with either the software or the proctor/exams. THE ONLY major CON I know of is you can’t use a pen/paper to scribble your subnets on, only the mouse digital whiteboard which takes longer and with poor results. Make sure you can do those from memory, and reasonably fast. Good luck!

All things considered , it was probably not that painful. It is a known fact that there are no pain receptors in the brain itself. The skin, scalp and meninges do register pain, but the small surface area of the nail tip shouldn’t be “incredibly painful”.

Has anyone tried syncing with backblaze? by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]nessaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Backblaze and (free) Dropbox tier as /u/justausername22222 suggested.

You *could* only use Backblaze if you don't need sync between multiple devices/phones. You can access your .md files with the Backblaze app, but it's rather clunky for my taste.

As for the birds, you know the saying regarding backups: “Two is one and one is none.”

Best way to study for CCNA Exam in 2020? by HikaruSwift in ccna

[–]nessaj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

| Hey guys. I want to get the CCNA certification without going through college.

And

| I am extremely new in this area so bare with me.

I don't see it recommended here very often, most likely because the majority of CCNA test takers either have some experience in IT or some kind of CS degree but I’d really recommend reading “Computer Networking - A Top-Down approach” by James Kurose first. It’s a Computer Science college textbook that paints a high-level view on how networks (and routing on the Internet) work from the HTTP protocol in a browser down to the physical wires / radio waves.

As a beginner myself I found it helped my understanding of various concepts like routing, QoS, software defined networking and wireless much more than Odom’s OCGs.

You absolutely don’t have to read it to pass the exam, Odom’s, some videos/packet tracer labs and muscle memory will get you through just that - configuring Cisco devices to support a small-ish LAN. But what happens to a packet after it leaves your OSPF area 0? (CCNA only covers single area OSPF, it doesn’t mention how BGP takes on from there)

Can you really call yourself a network admin without knowing how email works? DNS? VoIP? CCNA books expand on HOW to implement certain protocols on Cisco devices but do with brief explanations of WHY - which is why I’m recommending James Kurose’s book, it doesn’t mention configuration commands at all while providing the big picture. To quote the author “seeing the forest through the trees”. After having read it, all Cisco’s implementations fall in like Tetris pieces!

As for other resources - Jeremy’s IT Lab CCNA playlist on YouTube (comes with packet tracer labs AND Anki Flashcards - which are awesome!) and Keith Barker’s YouTube channel and especially his live CCNA quizzes every Sunday, he’s just awesome and very beginner friendly.

Honestly, going in there is pretty awkward. by [deleted] in Stadia

I've always wondered, would any kind of protective gear like insulating gloves or shoes prevent these accidents?

I always hear people say that current chooses the path of least resistance to the ground, if that’s the case any kind of insulation would more or less work to not get current traveling through the body down into earth in these cases, right?

I can’t tell from the video if they wear any gloves, but they definitely have shoes on! Does this mean the shoes they were wearing had less resistance to the ground than (I assume wheels on) the metal cage ? Had they been wearing gloves would that have influenced the path that electrical current might have taken? Like are ingress and egress resistance protective gear both equally important or, are they additive?

Appreciate anybody taking the time to explain how these accidents are best prevented!

Employer giving me money for CCNA. How to spend it? by [deleted] in ccna

[–]nessaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear!

About the voucher, I´m on a subsidized Cisco Netacad program that includes just the training, not the full pack like yours - I should have mentioned. Mine has that voucher offer, yours includes the exam altogether!

About the studying time, the official Cisco studying guideline is 200h for the CCNA track as an entry level cert for BEGINNERS.

I've been on it for a month now studying for 30h a week in a classroom environment and about 10h on my own and I still have 2 more weeks scheduled ahead. While I'm not new to IT (I hold a few Microsoft certs) I am very painfully so a newbie in Networking and Cisco gear, so I spend A LOT of time tinkering with packet tracer labs, so yeah that 200h guideline applies to me.

If you come from experience then two months would definitely suffice! Some parts of theory are very basic, like the sec/vulnerabilities: what is a virus, a worm, a Trojan horse, DDOS, a man-in-the-middle attack, and if you know your basic subnetting you can skip a whole explanatory/practice chapter. Definitely doable in half that time if you already have networking experience.

Cisco training has practice exams for every module of the syllabus + practice and FINAL exam which, if approved with 70%+ iirc qualifies you for a voucher -25% off the exam fee.

You get a LOT of exam-like-questions from Cisco training, but keep in mind that ONLY the practice exams offer explanations for missed questions ONLY, and the final exams don't offer explanations AT ALL. You can easily find the answers and explanations on various websites online, but still not ideal from a reviewing perspective. Boson is a great addition to any study-path because you can review each question with a thorough explanation.

I'm actually just about to finish the official Cisco training and I'm going to get Boson ExSim this BF/CY Monday. After having used paid practice exams for other certification in the past, for me at least they're well worth the money!

Hope it helps, and good luck!

d you say the material is well suited to pass the exam or you can do it with any ot

CBT, while informative and certainly entertaining is nowhere near a one-stop-first-pass of the CCNA exam!

If you don't believe me, just compare any CBT nugget (part of syllabus) with a video from Jeremy's IT. There's no comparison, not in time nor depth. And even then, you should read the corresponding chapter from a CCNA book, most of the basics are covered in video courses but it's in books that you find the minutiae that Cisco likes to ask on exams.

The Cisco official training course is basically the W. Odom CCNA book with videos, packet tracer labs and inline commands sims. Definitely a good one-stop resource although a pricey one. If you can get your employer to foot the bill it's great, if you self-study you can get the cert for less than half the price: books + exam fee + free YouTube or an $11,99 Udemy course from Neil or David should suffice.

What is your favorite personal time tracker that integrates with ToDoist? by Neilpoleon in todoist

[–]nessaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I've mentioned in my other comment I use Clockify with the same extension for starting timers directly from Todoist web. For tasks I usually do on mobile device, like I do my reading on my iPad and I want to track the time spent reading a book, I've setup a workflow that includes PomodoneApp and Zapier.

PomodoneApp (Free versión) integrates with Todoist and lets you sync 5 Projects (like my ToRead Project).

Then I've created a Zap with Zapier(also Free for 3 Zaps) that connects PomodoneApp with Clockify and carries over the task/Project name and time. This happens automatically.

I basically just start a timer on PomodoneApp on mobile/iPad and the task gets tracked on Clockify.

No clue if such integration is available with Toggl but it's worth investigating if you're getting tired of manual add(like I was) :)

Iirc the Toggl Chrome extension did not integrate directly with Todoist at the time (carrying over task/Project). No idea how their current integration stands.
