IT IS DOG DAY

every time i film a skit like 10 of my coworkers message me on teams the next day to tell me they assume it is about them 😩 stopppppp

hey so tiktok? fuck you

the coldest, funniest professional dis is seeing a photo of your team’s lab bench show up in the annual lab training as “DO NOT DO THIS”

last minute autumn beauty sunflowers are finally starting to bloom in the garden!

the amount of stuff that ethernet PHYs can report, & the depth it gets to, is wild. we don’t see half of it in our usual show commands, or any network GUI. and unless you have like, a PHY EVB, or a custom-made or jailbroken network device, this stuff just sits in the background

my number one tip for neurodivergent women surviving sociopathic corporate structures is lexapro

best rack planning software/tool?

every day i think “we can’t get more end stage capitalism than this” & then openai goes & hosts a LuXuRy iNfLuEnCeR eVeNt to… what, try to make everyone excited for the worst job market in a decade & AI shoved down all our throats??

if u want to catch your LG smart TV trying to send your data off to wherever, i’m guessing this is where u start

“it’ll be easy” insists the architect genius to the low level IC who will actually have to implement the plan

don’t talk to me or my son ever again

What are some good materials for a Linux admin who wants to better understand networking (gear, protocols, & management) but isn't up for pivoting to network engineering as a full-time gig? @tracketpacer.com @myraccoonhands.com

you might notice i’ll be posting more sponsored content in the future—thanks in advance for being patient with me on this 🙏🏼✌🏼

every neteng job posting: - 10+ yrs exp - master’s degree in: ee, compsci, quantum physics - expert in BGP, MPLS, EVPN/VXLAN, CLOS/spine arch, ECMP, python, ansible, AWS, NIST - intimate knowledge of all network monitoring software in existence - exp w all network vendors - salary: 100k, seattle/LA

charge shark, update shark, get DHCP shark, enable NTP shark, enable toaster shark, deploy LLDP recon payload shark (…btw the other tool i used here to explore is the netally cyberscope!)

obviously im gonna go to pax west & purchase tea from every tea vendor there

in the last 5 months i have spent more time refuting claims made by claude about networking that software engineers insist i look into than actually doing network engineering.

for an engineer like me who is maximally using Sonnet, and hasn't yet switched to a local model, it's about $6k a month, or $72k a year. it is a very very hefty fraction of the salary, & is going to be pretty unaffordable to orgs that don't see 2x+ productivity on highly-paid employees.

every day of my life is just another day i do not have a dog (she’s on her way though don’t worry)

what if we kissed in the gator-filled flame trench just before launch

if i run over a cable w my car do yall think i can get it to connect at 5gbps?

the punishment for anyone at work requiring my phone number is that from then on i’m gonna pop up on their social media feed every week

was struggling to figure out how to model a stool i put together without it being sUgGeStiVe. but anyway i love these things we have them at work

this genuinely cracked me up when i did a speedtest of defcon’s open wireless network lol tool used is the Ookla Speedtest Pulse
