    Lurick got a reaction from Middcore in What do I do now I got hacked because someone sent me a link do I replace my motherboard and cpu   
    What are you talking about?
    You don't replace any parts because you got a virus, that's not how they work.
    What do you mean you reset your motherboard thing and virus protection is disabled?
    Pictures and whatnot help 🙂

    Can you list the exact components you have left (brands and models) that are working and indicate which of those components you don't trust. I'll then try to recommend a suite of tests you can use to determine if the components are trustworthy. 🙂

    They did a video a couple of years ago that clearly explains what a bottleneck is and and when it might matter. The only thing on your list that it doesn't do is point out that bottleneck calculators are worse than useless. And yet, here we are.
     
    I don't know if this misconception is something that LTT alone could fix. At this point, I think that nothing short of a complete media blast where all the major outlets talk about how pointless bottleneck calculators are, and what bottlenecking entails, could make a dent in the misconceptions surrounding the topic.

    Bottlenecks can't damage the machine

    If your playing CIV6 at 240p then the bottleneck will be really bad.
    If your playing hogwarts legacy at 8k then you won't have any bottleneck at all.
     
    Bottlenecks exist in every machine. Sometimes they matter (depends on the games, the settings, the monitor, ect.), but usually (if the components were made at similar times) they don't. All a bottleneck means is that the performance of one of your components is limiting the performance of the others. Say your CPU can't do enough work to allow your GPU to reach its full potential or vice versa.
     
    On a 4080+5900X machine you really don't need to worry about bottlenecks.

    Please LTT, I beg you, do a video about bottlenecks to demonstrate "what a bottleneck is", "when it might matter" and "that bottleneck calculators are scams".

    Lurick reacted to mynameisjuan in how prevalent is cisco networking gear in the real world   
    The irony in that statement in which Cisco is considered vendor locked where as Ubiquiti isn't.
     
    Learning IOS-* paves the way for ease of transition to a large majority of other vendors.
     
    Even the most regarded GUIs are meh at best and it becomes clear whenever you get familiar with any NOS' CLI. You will never get responsiveness, verbose/condensed output, more fluid configuration or a multitude of methods to interface with a GUI the way you do with CLI. CLI is still king and will be the go to for the foreseeable future.
     
    Don't fall in the trap that GUIs are easier as in most instances they are not (there are exceptions of course for specific configs). Some GUIs can make things more convoluted or tedious requiring a dozen or more steps across various unrelated directories where the same config would be a few lines at worse. Unifi is notorious for this and one reason why I consider it among one of the worse GUIs on the market. Pretty != good/easy.
     
    GUIs have their use cases but each one is easily replaced by almost any NMS if possible.

    Lurick reacted to Eigenvektor in Do I need a desktop? -Debian   
    You can certainly install Debian in console only mode. This is how I run it on my servers. There is no reason for a UI to exist on a server you only interact with through SSH (and it has the benefit of reducing the attack surface -> less software, less potential exploits). Of course on a machine you sit in front of to e.g. browse the web, a DE is definitely a plus (though not strictly required, depending on your use case)

    Also consider that a Chassis like that typically includes the drive backplane and often the PSU(s) as well, which are low-volume specialized parts as far as these things go. If you look at the cost breakdown of a Backblaze pod you’ll see the backplanes cost as much or more than the bent metal, and they designed fairly simple ones that just need to do SATA, not full SAS.

    I’m working at a Fortune 500 company as a Lead Network Engineer. A few weeks ago, myself and three of my colleagues flew out to a new datacenter to rack and set up $2 million worth of Cisco and F5 equipment. Nexus 9K switches in spine and leaf topology, with Catalyst 9300L switches for the out of band management, and Catalyst 8500 routers. Each one we performed initial setup on purely from serial console. All programming of them done via CLI after they got online too. The VXLAN config will be done via Nexus Fabric Manager, but that’s it and we’d be comfortable doing it by hand if we hadn’t been given it for free. We’re connecting console servers to provide OOB serial access as well. If we had gone with Arista or Juniper for this deployment, the overall methods would have been the same - I haven’t seen a GUI yet that is good enough to completely replace the speed at which you can get precise information out of a CLI. GUIs are good when you are taking a larger overall view at something, or to enable templates and standardized workflows.
     
    Except for when they try to teach their automation tools, anything you learn about Cisco will be transferable to general networking principals and other vendors. I had a networking class in college that was just using a CCNA Study Guide as the course material, and at my first job after that I mainly touched Aruba/HP and then later Ruckus/Brocade switches, and the knowledge I gained follow the Cisco methods was still useful to me.
     
    At my second job, we used hardly any Cisco equipment. And even so, when talking to my manager about what I should study and certifications to try to get to further my career both with that company and in general, I was told to continue on the Cisco certification path.
     
    At my current employer, when I applied for my first position here, the role was for removing Cisco routers from over 1000 branch locations and replacing them with a non-Cisco SDWAN appliance. And yet the fact that I was CCNA certified was a deciding factor between me and another candidate.
     
    Try to recognize in your studies what is an industry standard, such as protocols and RFCs that everyone has to abide by, and what is Cisco’s way of implementing things. Sometimes the way Cisco does things becomes the standard that everyone follows, and sometimes they go off on their own, and its only the requirement of interoperability that keeps things minimally compatible.

    Lurick reacted to SpaceFlier in Why tf are server chassis so expensive   
    Hi all, I'm trying to build a NAS that goes in my server rack but I can't seem to find something that isn't ridiculously overpriced or to enterprise for my needs. I then tried looking to building the server myself but perhaps the most important part of a NAS (other than the drives themselves), the chassis, are all ridiculous. I've just started out looking at servers so maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place, but the best deal I found was for a 60 drive chassis for 2000 AUD. That's 2k for some bent metal sheets. Is this the normal price for chassis and is there a seller that sells prosumer server hardware not at enterprise price points?
     
    On a slightly same but separate issue is are hybrid drive type servers rare? I want a mix of ssd and hdds in my NAS but I can either find just hdd or ssd. I would have thought having a server where you have ssds in the hot swap bays and top load hard drives would be pretty good but apparently not.
  16. Agree
    Lurick reacted to Dedayog in Why tf are server chassis so expensive   
    Yes, that is a normal-ish price.  You're looking for a 60 drive rack, which is not your average home setup.  
     
    Curious as well what you need 60 drives for, so if it's a business.... $2k is nothing for spend.  Especially AUD.

    Lurick reacted to Falcon1986 in ethernet on powerline is VERY slow   
    Are the two Powerline adapters on the same circuit? Are there any high-draw appliances on the same circuit? E.g. air conditioning, fridge, freezer, microwave, etc. Any form of filtering (e.g. surge protectors) or power conditioning will "clean out" the signal required for Powerline to work effectively. Are any of those on the same circuit? Old wiring = poor performance for Powerline. Unless you upgrade the wiring yourself, there's no way of getting around this. Newer Powerline generations are more tolerant of interference, but can still be subject to it. What is the make/model of your adapters? Sometimes, simply rebooting or resetting/re-pairing the adapters will fix a slowdown. However, this is likely to be temporary at best.
     
    If you're going to use Powerline, know its limitations. Speed, latency and reliability are always poor. WiFi is probably better if you have good reception. Wired (ethernet, fiber, etc.) directly to the switch or router is always best.
     
    If you have an available slot that can accommodate the adapter, that should be fine.
     
    Personally, even if it costs a little more, I'd invest in an adapter with detached antennae that you can move around for optimum reception. The ones directly attached to the adapter have limited planes of manipulation and are stuck behind a PC case always.

    Lurick reacted to Needfuldoer in how prevalent is cisco networking gear in the real world   
    Cisco is the de facto standard in enterprise deployments.
     
    Once you get up to speed with the CLI, it's so much faster than re-learning the web UI on new gear. Even other brands tend to imitate the way IOS handles when they make their own interfaces. (Brocade is almost identical.) It's also extremely convenient to dump a config out to a text file, and the commands you learn on an old 2600 series still generally apply to current hardware. It's like learning how to use Bash.
     
    Ubiquiti is prosumer at best. Propose rolling that out at a large company and you'll get laughed out of the room.

    Lurick reacted to JoshCanHearYou in how prevalent is cisco networking gear in the real world   
    I'm at university and one of my classes is literally just doing the cisco learning academy introduction to networks. All we do is learn basics of networking and then how to use CISCO equipment. I feel like I'm being locked in to learning their bullshit ecosystem of products when I know there's so many other networking companies out there. Is it just me or does programming a switch/router in the console seem outdated as hell (I know it's like the best and most realiable way to do it but man a GUI would make it so so so much easier, like ubiquiti products). I am wrong?

    It may be over for emulation. You'd have to create entirely new BIOSes from scratch for any device you want to emulate or the legal precedent this may set will likely make it illegal. I feel like Linus Torvalds and his hatred of Nvidia, only at Nintendo at this point. It is a sad day for Emulators.
