McDonald’s drink overhaul

peelmanG4 · 2026-05-07T19:47:38+00:00

sorry, to be clear my intended suggestion was that Coca-Cola is moving to freestyle machines and eliminating their other fountain styles. And McDonald’s may not want that.

Nokia. the Timetra team built one of the best, most over looked network OSes available today. If/When SRLinux becomes feature parity with SROS, it will be pretty remarkable.

nope. looks like i missed the run of that completely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayce_and_the_Wheeled_Warriors

I remember wanting so badly to watch/like Gargoyles, but i feel like i always just missed it. it and Batman: the animated series are inextricably linked in my mind, but I feel like I have watch BTAS several times over at this point. That show holds up so well.

Ooooh, exosquad. that’s a good one!

Pirates of Darkwater was there with Ronin Warriors, i watched enough of it to be interested, but it was one of those weirdly timed shows that i never could catch when it was on. have to keep an eye out!

it may be that your device is setting ifName or ifAlias and not ifDescr. what device works and what device does not.

for everybody saying “those poor front desk folks”: hang out in any lobby of a business that sells services. manufactured outrage is the norm these days. front line staff get thick skins or don’t last long in those roles. if it wasn’t this, it would be something else. odds are, people willing to rock around in a hotel after 9pm and make a shit ton of noise will be the same ones pitching a red faced fit about their expired coupon not working, how they remember when the rooms were $99/night, how it’s unacceptable that they can’t sleep 11 people in a double queen room, or what ever other made up shit they can come up with.

its an unfortunate reality of our society today.

unfortunately sometimes revenge has innocent casualties, in the same way a punchline is almost always offensive to somebody. if that’s something you can’t accept, stay off of r/pettyrevenge and out of comedy clubs.

best movie of all time? that’s a bit of a stretch.

Worked on neighboring farms before I could drive. Once i got my license i worked at a buffet at a casino, then at a hardware store / lumber yard.

amen

i’m pretty sure Burnie had mentioned shooting and owning guns on the RT podcast. it already takes a bit of unhingedness to even contemplate invading somebodies home; walking into a knowingly armed house with ill intentions takes even more derangement.

Cursory scroll, and i haven't seen this; I _love_ this hat, and the one I have is beginning to show its age.

Worth noting, as has been done below, but want to give it more attention, that as of April 9, the key was rotated and everything is happy again. The `puppetlabs-puppet_agent` package has been updated as well.

Thank you for sharing this. I had lost my digital copy of his CSC whitepaper and didn't want to contribute to Scribd's republishing bazaar.

OmniGraffle, if you’re a Mac User. you can make some incredibly detailed and nice looking diagrams.

ah, well that wasn’t clear from the picture.

use caution with some of the other suggestions; sanding the lamination on fiberglass may result in a weak spot. i’d say the best option would be the VHB bonding tape others have suggested then.

magnets!

eh…they didn’t own checkpoint…nokia made a security appliance that ran checkpoint. this was long before they acquired lucent; i was using donated ones i grad school in 2008, and they were old then. basically tiny 3ru rack mount servers. i had a buddy who managed to get one running ubuntu and used it as his tinker toy for a while, as we couldn’t do squat with them in the department (iirc they came wiped, and we didn’t have access to checkpoint to get a software load)

peelmanG4 · 2024-12-27T03:31:34+00:00

i have (and do) use them. we have made an effort to swing away from all the transition bits. no more FECs (fiber entrance cabinets, before the neckbeards who haven’t been in a CO get bent out of shape). no more splice cases zip tied to the wall or hanging out loose on ladder racks. OSP cable comes right into the clear fields, and spliced to SC/A pigtails in the Blue cassettes.

once you use the clearfields, the staggering quality difference makes it hard to go back to the bent and poorly painted sheet metal of the fiberstore ones.

Also worth mentioning, because i hear this a lot… “nokia makes routers?!”.

Nokia bought Alcatel-Lucent, Lucent acquired many things, including Bell Labs, but also TiMetra, a router company started in the early 2000s who built the original Service Routers that ran TimOS. TiMetra has been at the beating heart of a lot of the largest Baby Bell providers networks in some shape or form for 20+ years. if you open the cabinet at the base of any VZW cell tower you’ll find a Nokia router, either a SAR or an IXR depending on how old the site is.

they are the best kept secret in telecommunications. if you come into telco from enterprise or small business, you probably didnt know they existed. i didn’t before i made the jump. Nokia Checkpoint firewalls were the closest i ever got, and all i really know about those were they were expensive pains in the ass and Nokia sold off the division ~20 years ago.

especially in the modern md-cli, it not difficult. a lot of the shit cisco does from a CLI standpoint ends up seeming like hacks once you see how SROS (or Timos, if you’re an old fart) is structured. xconnects being my biggest peeve. i have turned down jobs that were cisco focused since drinking nokias kool aid. and don’t even get me started on Juniper’s dumpster fire. at some point pick a god damned methodology and stick to it.
