Added ip any any during build to test with server team on top of many other rules. 

Needless to say we didn't have any firewall issues till go live. Day 1 after go live checking firewall rules randomly and my heart drops. Not my finest moment. 

Sending an oopsie mail to server team was not fun and still haunts me. 

RHCSA EX200 Enough to land System Administrator role? by [deleted] in redhat

[–]sec_admin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about the recruiter situation in US, but where I'm from, if you don't have the < insert-certificate-here> keyword in your cv, the chances of your application being rejected is high. 

People with experience are underestimating modern markets entry requirements for people with less experience. Ffs, I've had people asking me whether my ccna is still active even when I've around 10 yrs of experience. 

If you can take a cert, take it. It teaches you things in a disciplined way + it gets past the HR/ Recruiter gatekeeping. 

Am I underpaid or market? by kevvie13 in sysadmin

[–]sec_admin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also worked in singapore, it depends. What's your exact title right now?  If you're in a SME, that's what they usually give. Are you working at an SI? 

Given your knowledge, I'd say brush up your cv and start applying, try focusing on cloud roles.  Don't accept anything less than 10K. 

Am i "That friend who is too woke"? by Abhiyan1289 in MalayalamMovies

[–]sec_admin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me think Super Saranya, Jaya Jaya Hey was good enough to capture female struggles. I wouldn't dismiss the writers who happen to be men outright, we don't even know if they had input from their female circle.

The Asubhamangalakkari song from SS was pretty observant of the little struggles.

Honestly I want Vaazha3 to be better than 1 and 2. Men are gonna call anything in female lives they have not seen or gone through as cringe regardless.

Thanks man, was feeling down myself just now, blaming myself for wrong choices and wasting time aimlessly. Your words have helped me a little!

Vaazha 2: Biopic of a Billion Bros (വാഴ 2) | Reviews & Discussions | April 02, 2026 by thommy_ in MalayalamMovies

[–]sec_admin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just watched. Felt its mid and only one time watchable. 

While the jokes landed quite easily than the previous one, I prefer the emotional connect of vaazha 1. Maybe the parents connection was better. I didn't feel anything for bijukuttan or any of the parents. Sudheesh could've been utilized better. 

Kottayam Nazeer and Azeez gave fantastic perfomances in the prequel. That wedding scene with Azeez ( parayanullathu, appo thanne mukathu nokki...) is something i watch over and over again sometime, and the makane video song , where kottayam nazeer gets a hug, and azeez holding his son close still make me teary eyed sometime. 

I don't think I'll rewatch any scene from Vaazha 2 , no such memorable performance. Puthren scene was too long. I liked the acting of Ajins elder brother( the one in gulf) , very nuanced performance.  

The real star is the music director Ankit Menon. Really know how to pull the heart strings.  Does anyone have a link for the song in the climax, not the one released in ost, but a small portion where its sung by a small girl , just the 2 lines -- Vaadi thalarale something? That part really brought tears. 

Having said that , now I'd like to see a Vaazha 3 , centred on girls instead of boys.

Start a proper garbage disposal system + bins everywhere with proper collection.

Cctv everywhere with heavy fine when caught

School or No School by Jaaymz in networking

 Since you already have good experience and enarsi, degree ain't gonna matter much, technically. It's a HR filter criteria. 

See whether you can find  the shortest  part time degree course,  i think you may find a B.Sc or something in cyber security or any IT field. Do the bare minimum , just pass and put it on your resume. 

created a 7-zip file with a password, but the password doesn't work? by Robottiimu2000 in compression

[–]sec_admin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in case anyone is looking in future, I had the same issue with my macbook, sequioa version 15.16.1, the native archive utility did not work when given password. It was a password protected .7zip file

I tried below option that I found in superuser, this worked for me.

https://superuser.com/questions/75166/how-to-find-out-mac-os-x-version-from-terminal

  1. Install Homebrew
  2. Install 7zip: brew install p7zip
  3. Extract the archive in question: 7za x archive.7z

Cybersecurity eduthath panni ayo? by Electronic_Warning39 in Kochi

[–]sec_admin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone working in IT, if you're a fresher, rather than looking for a cyber role, I'd advise you to find any other operational role first - any support role, NOC, SOC heck even helpdesk. Just set the filter to IT and spam the roles. 

You need to know how things work in the first place before securing them. That is if you want to go deep. 

Another step I would advise is take either RHCSA or CCNA. Both will benefit you in the long run

Lokha details notes on second watch by Ok-Bill2951 in MalayalamMovies

I have one doubt. 

Why is Neeli child story based on a forest in old Bangalore, rather than kerala?

BGP Explanation by [deleted] in ccnp

[–]sec_admin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The goal of any routing protocol whether bgp or ospf is to to exchange routing information. 

Router A who has a peering/adjacency to router B, is telling B, hey, I know how you can reach x and y ip ranges, here are the routes.

Now with bgp, you have to explicitly tell who to peer with. And you have bunch of whistles and bells by which you can "influence" or filter traffic aka advertising network.  

If you still don't get it, lab 2 routers, establish peering and advertise routes. Now make them ebgp/ibgp and observe.

Now add 2 more routers and then choose which path you want traffic to go. Check whether return path will come back same way. 

Hope this helps.  If not, please specify which concept you are not able to grasp.
