With #CiscoLive around the corner...are we just going to pretend X doesn't exist or will people be using it during the conference?

How long until it gets ruined by tears and alcohol like a real engineer?

Hot take: The "skills shortage" in IT isn't real. There's a shortage of companies willing to train entry-level talent. I learned everything on the job 15 years ago. What changed?

Well, stuck in the Phoenix airport for 7 hours until my red eye back home because my first flight was delayed. I guess I should be productive or something.

(US)NUA is able to maintain vendor neutrality by approving presentations ahead of time and implementing a soccer style card system to boot a vendor if they slip into "sales mode". #NFD37

I’ve been going back through and re-doing some of my older content. It’s crazy how in 1-2 years I now approach a topic differently

Does anyone have a solution to support a heavy 1RU network device that should be installed in a 4 post rack but all you have is a 2 post rack? I can’t use the rails it comes with but just using the ears is really suspect.

I don’t consider Bluesky to be THE platform until Cisco Live chooses it over X for all their social media tracking and posting. It’s my benchmark.

Ok but that company wallpaper actually looks good

The garbage people left a Christmas card on my trash can today. Now I’m afraid throw it away incase they see it in the trash. Would it be unethical to throw it in the neighbors can? I might be over thinking this.

Kevin @adjacentnode.com · 09/12/2024
Haha this is the only correct answer

Kevin @adjacentnode.com · 09/12/2024
I think that’s going to be the problem with the terminology - everyone will see it differently because there’s so many aspects of networking. Route/switch, cloud, automation, data center, WAN, etc

I got asked if I was a “full stack” network engineer. Is this a thing? I get what they are trying to say but…I don’t like it. 🤣

1/2 After much consideration, we have decided to separate from our parent podcast @artofneteng.bsky.social to continue our growth journey. We are deeply grateful to @noblinkyblinky.bsky.social, @adjacentnode.com & Andy Lapteff, for providing us with a launchpad and unwavering support.

Ok legit asking, how important is this for the average user? Are attackers hijacking phone numbers to get into my mom’s Gmail account?

That’s how I got the 9200 switches in my closet haha

Kevin @adjacentnode.com · 04/12/2024
Yeah, honestly it changes so much. I just returned 3 switches and 2 routers to my work inventory because I can virtualize them now that I have a beefy server

What do you call a network with bad jokes? A pun-cast domain! I’m so sorry. 🤣

You know this person. They are very well known. If you want some network content creator drama/tea I’ll fill you in privately.

I technically created this is account back in Bluesky beta but never used it since Twitter was still king. I’m already like Bluesky more than threads though.

What do you have planned for your home lab so far? My lab is a mix of ancient personal gear and stuff I’ve borrowed from work. It’s a mess. 😂
