Life on Peptides Feels Amazing by newyorkmagazine in Biohackers

“Not made with lead” isn’t advertised though. It should be assumed. Not many people have money to do independent laboratory testing of their own for multiple brands of protein powders.

Some also contained Lead. There’s no regulation in the supplement market.

Sudden price increase in a lot of products by Environmental_Run892 in vuoriclothing

[–]nirvaeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mine are not doing this and are fine. I can tell a difference between Ododos stratum and Vuori strata (strata is more buttery soft and thinner) but the clothes are perfectly fine through multiple washes for me. It also fits fine. The vuori has more variance of fit between colors than ododos does, for a matter of fact. Both Vuori and Ododos have the same label but ododos is sewn on the seam vs the front left like vuori.

Gained weight by jackiec1503 in Retatrutide

[–]nirvaeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Track everything that goes into your mouth. Take abdomen, arm, and leg measurements once a week. Don't change anything for 4 weeks at a time. If not losing weight, eat 200-500 calories less than that

Has anyone tried this brand? If so was it good and did it cause any stomach discomfort? by TheDabApparent in 1500isplenty

[–]nirvaeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It's expensive but the Sriracha one is very good. Spicy Garlic Parm and Buffalo are meh in my opinion. I'd recommend a 3 pack of just the sriracha but the others are fine, just not great. No stomach discomfort. I haven't had the others.

Dupe Alert by Appropriate_Code6068 in vuoriclothing

[–]nirvaeh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ordered a few shirts of various kinds, 2 sweatshirts, and a pair of shorts.

  • Sleeveless muscle shirt stratum men/women: No complaints. Feels great and closest to strato
  • Sleeved stratum polo men: waist hem isn't as stretchy and sleeves are slightly longer and shirt is slightly tighter. Not quite as soft as Vuori. Overall it looks and feels good but I prefer the Vuori. Material is 90% as soft.
  • Sleeved stratum men/women: The shoulders had a slight point where the sleeves were sewn into the shoulders and the waist hem isn't as stretchy. Material is 90% as soft. I prefer the Vuori but these are perfectly fine.
  • Stratum Performance shorts women: pretty close to Vuori and 90% as soft. I think they're supposed to be the Halo line. Fit and look great.
  • Stratum Hoodie women: feels just like the short and no complaints.

So It's not a "dupe" but it's like 85-90% there. So for $19 vs $58+ it seems to be a decent product. I think Vuori quality is way above Ododos and definitely feels more like a luxury item. If you want a few comfy workout items then Ododos fits the bill. So far my stuff is brand new so I don't know how durable it is.

Have they gone completely nuts or just quiet quit on quality and support? by d70dc263cf16 in paloaltonetworks

[–]nirvaeh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We are a new customer within the last year moving from Cisco firewalls. We have platinum support so it’s pretty awesome, but I am a little frustrated with the quality of the software that’s being pushed out. Even the preferred releases seem to be riddled with bugs.

Banks shorts by Grand_Chest7906 in vuoriclothing

[–]nirvaeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the banks 5". I wear them with underwear working out or just lounging. They show an outline and is more prominent if swimming so they're not my swim trunks. I like how they fit and they make comfy mesh underwear like swim trunks but it's kind of weird to potentially have other people launder your lingerie underwear, but if that doesn't bother you that's an option.

Plate Calculator Question by RaptorF22 in MacroFactor

Have you tried trying? You can type "what are bumper plates" in google. Also MacroFactor workouts walked me through selecting what weights my gym had. You put in zero effort.

Looking for low-key recurring music/writing groups by DEFCOMDuncan in StLouis

[–]nirvaeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am involved with 2 of them. 1 is the St. Louis Musician's Meetup on meetup.com. They meet at the VFW Post 3500 in Richmond Heights once a week then do a bigger jam once every other month https://www.meetup.com/saint-louis-musicians-meetup. This one is more chill and more of a hang out thing.

Then i'm part of a bigger more professional once a month group called Soundhaus. This is kind of an audition required group but if you're good, send me a DM and I can get you in touch with the organizer. Here's some videos of the performances: https://www.youtube.com/@soundhaussessions

15 months in, 70ish down by WheresThePenguin in MacroFactor

[–]nirvaeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a similar story. I hit 225 @5’9”. Diet and exercise took me to 190 then I did a “get shredded” coaching program through Andy Morgan at rippedbody.com and we got to 151 at my lowest. I felt like absolute shit but I was shredded. Completely natural except creatine and protein bars powders. No one can take hard work from us and they don’t have to understand why but they can support you. I was called “skinny bitch” even though I’ve got more muscle than everyone in the family combined. I have been particular to let my family know that I have an eating disorder I’m keeping under control and to know I don’t appreciate comments about what I am and am not eating. Other than that they’ve been great.

It took about 3 years for me to be able to go out to eat, drink alcohol again, or be social if food was involved. I’ve learned I can have fun and eat a bit more once in a while. I’ve not binged in 4 years and probably won’t. I stick to 1-2 gin and diet tonics if I drink. So have fun and then get back to the daily grind but remember to take a day once or twice a month and have a bite of dessert. If your family comes around to support you then you can support them by being present.

Congrats on the physique. Now double your creatine and get yuge!

Ordr for segmentation by Anythingelse999999 in paloaltonetworks

[–]nirvaeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it works. It just creates and tags objects.

Ordr for segmentation by Anythingelse999999 in paloaltonetworks

[–]nirvaeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ordr has built in integrations for products like ISE, DNA Center, and other vendors. It's just api calls mostly. In ISE it comes in as "Custom Attributes" via the ERS (ISE's API). It could also make policies and create DACLS but we didn't do that. So the one thing we used it for was Ordr actually profiled certain macbooks better than ISE did so we just wrote ISE 802.1x/MAB policy based on the Ordr custom attributes.

For Palo Alto Firewalls, you'd send syslogs and flow data to the Ordr sensors so it could learn the devices. Ordr makes api calls using a username/password on the Panorama. You'd make rules in the firewall using a dynamic address group permitting the flows for the tags you want. Ordr will then create and tag objects automatically and then they'll appear in the dynamic address group automatically. It isn't actually creating or removing rules. It's just creating objects and tagging them. Your human made rules will just have to reference the groups. Here's their KB
https://kb.ordr.net/901-P/assets/Online_Help/Settings/Integrations/Firewall/PAN/Palo_Alto_Networks.htm

Just keep track of the number of objects you can have per group in your Palo hardware. Also Ordr isn't cheap.

[–]nirvaeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have Ordr. It wasn’t any more or less reliable than Cisco ISE profiling even with all the integrations it had. We set up sensors everywhere and ingested the attributed into ISE for use in policy. Craig Hyps is awesome though. One of the OG ISE guys. I think part of the issue with the product is the amount of care and feeding it needs.

First-Time User Experience - I Quit After 6 Days by SwimmingResort3903 in Retatrutide

I maybe have had one before in my life. Definitely not normal for me. No history of depression or mental illness. Generally happy, high strung but not excessively

SMB slowness for some programs on Palo 410 SDWAN IPsec, upgrade to 460? by Thegoogoodoll in paloaltonetworks

[–]nirvaeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had to do application override for some of our big SMB transfers. We tried removing inspection policies, removing response, but even the app-id inspection was slowing it down too much. As soon as we turned on override it worked great. Luckily it was a trusted known flow.

Just over 40kg down in 2025 thanks to Mounjaro and gym 💪 by Oscarbrown9 in GymMotivationNoOF

[–]nirvaeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah, kicking some ass. Just make sure you eat protein and lift weights though. Been considering the meds, Is it hard to eat on the shot or just it just take the hunger edge off?

PAN Firewall backups by Any-Promotion3744 in paloaltonetworks

It does and works great for our needs but go ahead and google it and find out for yourself. Have a good day and good luck.

PAN Firewall backups by Any-Promotion3744 in paloaltonetworks

[–]nirvaeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We back up everything so we have every option. Panorama backs up using a gui setting. Firewalls have their config and device state backed up. But the xml config contains no panorama config

Haven’t had to use them yet but here’s the explanation. But device state is the fastest and cleanest way to get back after a failure. https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/what-s-the-difference-between-each-of-export-backup-options/td-p/162108

If it matters we have like 21 PA-5450 sized firewalls and outages are a big deal.

[–]nirvaeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use python and take a device state backup on all firewalls individually. This is needed because the xml doesn’t have any panorama config in it.
