I'm headed to #NYC and though I've been there many times, I'm bringing a guidebook. Because I'm an #infrastructure nerd, and this is no ordinary guidebook.
Networks of New York by Ingrid Burrington describes the #networking infrastructure in the city: pavement markings, visible equipment, and locations of key buildings such as carrier hotels.
I was stupid today. I was wondering why on Earth my Ethernet connection between my PC and the home server was stuck on 100Mbit/s. I spent hours trying to find a software solution. Then it hit me, maybe the cable is incapable of transferring at faster rates? Yes, yes it was the cable... I feel so dumb for not checking my cables before this...
Boss: why is this service using IPv6?
Me: I just wanted to use IPv6 once in my career for a production service. Seems sad people did all that work for nothing.
Boss: 😑 #networking#ipv6#infrastructure
Currently trying to configure my access point to put different clients on the same SSID into separate VLANs. Wondering how this works regarding client-to-client and broadcast traffic w/o client isolation turned on. Will it just work as exepected or will I leak traffic between VLANs 🤔 #wifi#networking
My name is Jake and I am a 3rd year university student studying Paleontology and Geosciences. I’m late to the party switching over from #twitter but, better late than never!
Don't take the unnecessary risk of running #Wireshark as #root. Instead, create your capture file (.cap, .pcap) with #tcpdump (sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -w file.pcap), then open it for analysis in Wireshark as your regular non-root user. 👍 #networking#cybersecurity#soc#gnu#linux#cli
In the 80s when I first glanced across the term Token Ring in computer magazines, not really reading the articles because networking didn't have much to do with me back at that time, I was reading it as "Tolkien Ring." That's what I thought it was called for a few years, actually.
It sounded way more badass than it actually was.
ONE THREE-BYTE FRAME TO RULE THEM ALL
(There were a few Token Ring networks still in place that we supported when I worked in tech support at UVA back in the mid-90s.)
About 25 years ago, a couple of colleagues and I printed up poster-sized versions of our 10 #Networking Commandments. I was afraid the last one would soon become obsolete. Boy was I wrong. That is probably my favorite.
Thou shalt above all, maintain the integrity of the network.
Thou shalt have a long term strategic direction.
Thou shalt always opt for quality before expediency.
Thou shalt meet the requirements, exceed the expectations and anticipate the needs of users.
Thou shalt benefit from a successful implementation by careful project planning.
Thou shalt provide reliability, availability and serviceability.
Thou shalt maintain detailed, timely and accurate documentation.

Creating NAS for dad to replace WD MyCloud, mostly media storage for playback on TV.
Did one for myself, thought I knew what I was doing. For myself I just set it to default SHR hybrid RAID.
Set up dad's with 1 drive and thought could add second for more storage, turns out no, more drives adds redundancy, which isn't what I wanted for this. So deleting storage pool and starting again with JBOD instead.
I take this as a learning experience. #tech#NAS#networking
I'm on the lookout for a UK spec 5G #cellular router that will take an external antenna.
Can't seem to find anything under £800 so have taken to the socials to see what platform delivers. I think there might be more networking nerds on here but I might also get told to build my own :-) #lazyweb#networking
After any significant change to your #firewall setup, create a #backup of the config. For example, with #OPNsense, go to System > Configuration > Backups > Download configuration. Get into the habit of doing this. Forgetting to do so after happily tinkering away could put a serious dampener on your weekend! 👍 🔥 🛡️ #networking#cybersecurity#admin
