In other news, the interest rate on unsecured pseudo-credit services is very high.

Now over to Dave with the weather.

The world was gonna roll me

Yeah, can we downgrade? I'd like to go back to 2010 too.

I mean, 2010 probably also sucked at the time, but knowing what I know now, I know how much less it sucked.

I need to buy a good pair of slippers. I have big feet and all of the slippers I've tried are super uncomfortable.

As much as a vampire girlfriend would be awesome. I don't think my wife would appreciate it.

She would, however, appreciate stealing my lifetime supply of garlic bread.

.... Unless by picking vampire gf, it turns her into a vampire. But I don't think that's what the question is asking.

Questionable date food, but otherwise they're fine.

Bringing a website online sounds a lot more like development stuff.

Networking is all about how to get data from one place to another that is reasonable, manageable and scalable. Knowing what devices are increasing latency and when you should adjust the settings to route around a high latency (and/or high loss) link to enhance performance and reliability. Visibility into network flows in real time and monitoring for every link and port that's connected to a device, switch, router, or computer.

Web hosting is system admin and development.

What networking concerns do you have with this website?

See, I only recently came into awareness that web RTC was a thing. I have a lot of learning to do on how it even works as a protocol.

I'm sure it runs on top of IP, so I think web RTC meets your curriculum here. Regardless of that, I think I know what you mean, and if I knew enough about the protocol, I might even agree.

I need to brush up on the new protocols that are getting to be very common. I'm almost entirely up to date on the 802.11 specs, but there's so much to keep track of.... Yikes.

I've been looking at the CCNP for a while, I don't need it for the work I do at my day job, so I haven't prioritized taking the test or anything.

I should do more work on it.

Not a scientist. I have a litany of complex topics that I just can't really talk to anyone about. I'm a big computer networking nerd, and once upon a time, when I didn't know what I didn't know, I was curious what computer networking really entailed... It seemed dead simple, you connect things to a switch, connect that switch to the internet router, not much more.

Then I learned about VLANs, which are cool but it seemed like unnecessary complexity. Then I learned about Routing and L3 switching, and routing protocols and..... Holy shit, how deep is this?

Now-a-days, I want to have conversations about the merits of one routing protocol over another in various contexts, and see/build a spine and leaf network infrastructure that's nearly infinitely scalable.

I want to explore the nuance of IP unnumbered routing. I can't find anyone who will chat about it on a level that's close to my understanding, either someone knows way more than I do, or they know way less.

IP unnumbered routing is a way of connecting devices without setting an IP on the interface that is being routed to/from. The other end uses the routing protocol on top of layer 2, and while the two might have a router ID, often in the form of an IP address, the interface that is connecting the two has no IP. It's basically advanced point to point protocol (PPP) that breaks away from traditional TCP/IP routing in ways that people who have never used anything besides TCP/IP can't really comprehend. The two "IP addresses" (actually router IDs) in play can have nothing in common. Traditional TCP/IP requires that two IPs share a subnet. In routing, this is typically a /30 for IPv4, and the two IPs are adjacent to eachother, eg, 10.254.123.1 and 10.254.123.2 IP unnumbered can have 10.254.123.2 talking directly with 172.30.88.207, with no layer 3 interfaces in-between.

It's really fascinating and interesting and I've been trying to find a good model or guide to help me learn this better, but I keep ending up at dead ends, and I have nobody to talk to about it.

This? This is what they have a problem with?

Gestures at 2017 to 2021, and everything that's happened, been uncovered, and said by the orange one since.... And none of that was over the line for you?

What?

Okay. I'm just going to say it.

Project 2025 isn't the first of its kind. It probably won't be the last. The organization behind it has been making these "project" documents for pretty much every presidential term.

The key difference here is that Trump's campaign all but said, out loud, with conviction, that they were going to implement it.

Or maybe they bluntly said it during their campaign, IDK, I'm not American and I'm only sort of paying attention. The group is a bunch of fascist, far-right types that should be stomped out of existence. IMO, they're a few hoods and cross burnings away from being the KKK. I wouldn't be surprised if there's significant overlap in membership between the two groups.

Congrats for electing those that would implement fascist and Zionist rules. GL. YF.
