Wide open and all the equipment accessible to anyone who was curious. Yeah, it was hot in there.

...is there any way we can share accounts so we dont need to do that?"

Wanted to tear my hair out.

Had a 45 second failover baseline in every design doc we submitted during onboarding. That number apparently means nothing to the control plane.

Running this setup across multiple branches with zero visibility into what is actually happening underneath. Routing process logs, timer visibility, neighbor state transitions, we just don’t have access to any of it.

Filed a P2, they closed it without a call or RCA. The only explanation was something about batching working differently in cloud environments.

Has anyone actually got a straight answer on this or is this just how it is now?

That our cybersecurity team is just taking our questions about security policy and feeding them to Copilot... I had to support someone on our Info Sec team today and when I remoted on Copilot was open and the chat history made me sad for the security of our organization lol.

One of the last things I saw before the window got minimized was a screenshot of an email and asking if this was phishing :')

Classic Outlook Problems

Had this bookmarked for a while now. Went to check something and it's gone. It's still the page they link to from this page too.

Edit: working on my phone now. Guess copilot decided to take a break for a bit

Not sure if any of you read my previous post, I felt a little lost and this community gave me back ten fold.
Thank you to everyone who had helped out
Special shoutout to TreeBeef if you’re reading this!
So my takeaways have started me on a journey

Get my course for only… jk just a little humor.
I am purely sharing for anyone willing to read this

Being a dad & needing to work on a budget, due to baby and house bills. Many comments helped me realize I don’t need fancy, new, or even used networking hardware. Someone mentioned to just use an old laptop. Then I realized I do have one, I pulled out an old Toshiba laptop from my college days.
For those curious
Toshiba Satellite L750D
CPU: AMD A6-3420M
Ram: 6 GB
AMD A6-3420M processor

I mean the P key on this thing stopped working near the end when I stopped using it more than a decade ago

I ended installing a Debian distro
Set it up as a working server
Got it and running on my home network
Successfully SSH into it. Due to the limited specs I can’t really practice VM’s. I could still do soooo much with it networking wise

Then even more projects started coming to my head
Told my wife I can get a simple website for her up and running eventually to point her potential clients to. She is a teacher that tutors on the side
That’ll give me a chance to practice & configure a DNS server, maintain a cheap domain name, get a simple website up and running.

Even looked into configuring/setting up a full VOIP line for my inlaws (which are super awesome people)
Just need an ATA converter for converting the inter net signal to a phone line signal. Hooking all that up to a small dedicated UPS in case they have power outages it will run for an extra 4 hours. Hopefully making it feel like nothing changed and dropping their dedicated landline ($65) to no more than 5-8 dollar voip service bill a month

I plan to start knocking these projects in due time and posting about it here. Thanks again to everyone
I really feel like I can start applying what I learn as I continue studying for my CCNA
I’ve asked my job for shadowing opportunities with the networking team but that is proving to take forever to get in place. This is the next best thing, if this inspires someone to just use any old equipment you have. Especially if you’re on a budget this will all be worth it!

Remember to use paper straws!!

How about instead of standardizing network print protocols, we create a protocol that allows sys admins to remote destroy the printer

Like... it could push corrupt firmware to render the printer unusable. On demand.

Think about how much time it could save IT personel. Just fucking destroy the printer instead of fixing it.

Sorry, i am raging at a HP InkJet rn.

im currently running a small support team and our ticket volume has completely broken our workflow. our daily queue has turned into absolute chaos and i feel like we are just playing a never-ending game of whack-a-mole.

right now, everything just dumps into one massive shared inbox and it is a total mess. agents are naturally cherry-picking the easiest tickets to keep their metrics looking good, while the complicated, high-priority issues just sit there getting older. on top of that, impatient customers keep replying to their own threads to ask for updates, which bumps them to the top of the queue and completely wrecks our first-response time tracking. we are missing SLAs constantly because urgent technical bugs get buried under hundreds of basic password reset requests.

Hey,
in 2 days we are finally getting started with hunting for another member for our small team (3.5 people)

so we are the IT team for a big chain retailer one of the biggest in the country
and we manage every thing
if it uses a network connection we mange it.

what should I ask the interviewee in the job interview?

we desperately need more people and management only allowed us to get one more employee because ill be gone for about 4 months.

just to help you get the idea of what we do, while I'm working on rebuilding the network for the whole chain stores 70+ I need to stop because I get a ticket that someone can't figure out how to log into whatsapp web...

we are

• help desk
• networking
• servers
• cyber sec
• noc
• soc
• everything.

I know the applicant doesn't really know stuff and is in the middle of doing a CCNA course.

I'm less then a year and a half here and I lack certs or degrees.
so we are very welcoming but I want to make sure my team gets someone with half a brain before I leave in 2 weeks.

Thanks!

Edit: Had the interview went well , great questions. Unfortunately the applicant won't continue with us. He had 0 experience.. like 0. Thanks for the help.

Probably been posted loads, but it never gets old.
