The white line. I drank a lot of that ages ago, and I have some specific sounds, smells, and other senses associated with it. I’m sure if I tasted it, a lot of specific memories would immediately trigger.

I wouldn’t, as managed switching is only a small subset of the managerial tasks I attend. I don’t manage individual switches as much as I manage production systems where managed switch management is only a minor component.

On that note, we actually use hubs in one particular place in these systems, and since I manage their installation and asset tracking, does this make them managed Ethernet hubs?

Probably belongs in unpopularopinion, but: Chicken is a waste of spices an herbs.
“But you gotta season it, man!!”
I know. Put the same seasoning on any other meat, and it’ll immediately be a better dish.
Anything you can do with chicken can be done better with pork.

Ok, maybe not wings if you wanna be pedantic about it.

Unmanaged switches don’t care about VLAN tags, spanning trees, management interfaces, or LACP.

Managed switches care about at least some of those features and therefore will have a management interface to configure them, as well as firmware supporting them.

A dumb/unmanaged switch will look up the MAC address of the intended recipient and map that to a port before forwarding a packet to a particular port. A managed switch might do a lot more.

If you don’t need aanaged switch, don’t buy one. If you’re OK with everything on one port being able to communicate with anything on another port, and connectivity is you’re only concerned, you’re probably going to be fine with an unmanaged switch.

Source: I manage (amongst other things) managed switches for a living.

So there’s this chorus of unheard voices calling up into the void “is anyone there? We’re over here. Hello? Anyone?”

My impression of the internet for the past 20 years.

Both are fair points. In the latter case I think OPs of such post should add a note that they intend to delete.

I find people deleting their post after a few answers have been provided to be a problem here on asklemmy. As a mod I sometimes serve a relatively short bam when this happens for no real reason. While it isn’t explicitly against the rules, I find it very much to be against the spirit of the board, and it’s really not fair to the ones who took their time to write a response nobody will ever read.

I was on deck when lightning struck the MF/HF antenna. The backpack was very low compared to most other things, so there was never any danger.

“Hey, Mike, you might wanna report that to the bridge” I asked of my coworker who had the radio.

The universe is so vast that it is statistically unlikely that this planet is the only inhabited one. But therein lies the problem: The vastness makes it impossible for us to confirm anything or even observe traces of hints.

We are alone in the universe. And the aliens, they are alone too.

Next time you see him live, or read something he just wrote, remember this: That’s him at his best. And he’s never going to be that good again.

Because he’s noticeably demented, and it’s progressing. He may have good days, and he may have bad days, but what those two types of days have in common is that they’re only going to gets worse.

He’s already rambling, and sometimes incoherently at that. But the stew he has between his ears will keep degrading to the point where coherence is a vague memory from his campaign trail.

Now, that’s the good news.

The bad news? Stephen Fucking Miller is the de-facto president until 2029 because all know the couch fucker is too chicken shit to invoke the 25th.

OSI model != OSI protocols

CLNS is not a pre-requisite for Layer 3.

While Wojtek serving in the Polish army during the invasion of Italy is true, a lot of his exploits are exaggerated. I still love it though.

Him helping out is confirmed, and if I remember correctly, the story of him carrying artillery shells is among the confirmed ones. And yes, he did in fact drink beer. But no, he didn’t smoke cigarettes, on the account of being a bear. He ate them, though.

Looks like red chalk wrapped in paper. I remember having those in school around the end of the previous millenium - The paper prevents your fingers from being stained.

Neither TCP, UDP, nor IP, is involved.

Stupid indeed, but of utmost importance.

TCP/IP model is Limited and incomplete.

Fibrechannel, infiniband, and many RDMA protocols, just to make a few, don’t fit in the TCP/IP model, while the OSI model fits them just fine.

Metallica - …and justice for all
But not in a good way.

Hei, søta bror. I think you meant to post a reply yo OP and not me.

Might be true there as well. I’ve only met, like, two french people who may or may not be from Paris.
